HNasty posted:There is no exhaust note only wind noise, I'm gonna work on fixing that problem. My camera set up is very simple: Does that camera do image stabilization during video, then? My A620 doesn't, and when I strapped it to the left rearview mirror post with my Gorillapod, the video was shakey as poo poo just from the bike's vibrations. The bumps in the road make it even worse. I can see putting it on a tank bag dampening some vibration, but still. e: Yes it does. Awesome, now I want to upgrade...

I don't think I heard him say once about how he didn't like the loud pipes. He only relayed what health officials, police, and that dealership said, along with usual reporter stuff.

The beauty of living in Milwaukee is that sportbikers/dualsport/whatever guys will get hassled for loud pipes, but some jagoff with open pipes on his Harley can run around at full throttle any time of the day he wants and the cops dont do anything.

Why I loved leaving that place, gently caress WI. (still disgruntled when a neighbor got his Harley and enjoyed testing his exhaust system throughout the day to wank off to)

After watching a bunch more of those videos about driving, by that guy with the lisp who did the motorcycle pipe story, I learned some laws that I had no clue existed and had been illegally breaking this whole time, like stopping when a pedestrian is in a crosswalk, or blocking a crosswalk (I did this a lot when getting to the front of cars). Now I'm always looking out for pedestrians trying to cross at intersections without stop signs and lights and it makes me feel  inside when I stop and let one go by.

I block crosswalks alla time, usually to get sightlines around corners and out of driveways, but at least I know I'm doing it. When you got your license, did they not give you a little manual to study from? Did you select 80% of the pages (or whatever the required passing grade was) and study only from those to the exclusion of all else?

California was ranked as the 4th worst state in terms of driving abilities. The manual had things like days you have to file an accident report and how long after acquiring a vehicle to get insurance and a bunch of other things like that that I don't know.

Got back from a 9 day trip with Stress Pill and Rope Kid last Saturday. Rode all over Utah with parts of Colorado and AZ mixed in. Just about finished up with the ride report but thought I'd share a few images.     Should have the ride report up Monday or Tuesday.
