Took me a second to realize that you don't, in fact, live there because of the Mormons.

Those are some really nice views. I can't wait to get out on a MC trip.

I bought one of these recently, it should show up soon. HD racing? :hellyeah: Only 270$, too.

What site did you find it for $270 at? All the ones I've checked are $300.

I think the point is Z3n is a space cowboy on the edge of a frontier unknown to man, he's out there pushing the limits, trail braking into the abyss. Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.

Video can actually do a suprisingly good job of helping you learn more about how you ride. Mount it to the front of the bike, and take your fastest lap, and see what you did differently or right. Update your reference markers, etc. accordingly...it's a very handy tool.

No problem, just got it through REI and used a $100 dividend toward it. That store rules sometimes.

I can understand them being absolutely enraged to have that happen...but why the gently caress would you ride side-to-side with the drat car? The person driving it just about killed two of you, is it really wise to put yourself in position to get ran over again?

I figure she was behind them, in the youtube comments they were saying they were rolling like 50-60 and the speedlimit is 70 on that road. Texas drivers being as aggressive as they are, bitch done just said "welp" and cut through them. The description is misleading as I didn't see the car really try to take anyone out. But I can see them being pissed about it. Still though, dropping off the speed limit and taking up all 3 lanes on a 70mph highway? That's just being retarded. And in Texas, asking for it.

It's one thing do something stupid at your own risk(highway squidding), it's another when you're putting someone else at risk (3400lb car vs squid).

Shutter wobble sucks. This is with the new ContourHD. It wasn't mounted super securely, so I'm sure it'll improve a bit with proper mounting.

Someone on a local forum is selling what is a basically new one of those for $200. I'd buy it but I don't think my riding is particularly noteworthy and I don't really have a lot of income right now.

EDIT: Nvm, it's not the ContourHD... must be an older model. What's the difference?

The older model doesn't support high def. I don't think I'd buy one unless you had a good reason, and 200$ is too much when for 80$ more you can get the newer better model.

I just had it strapped to the right mirror. It'll get properly mounted (although I don't have a windshield still, :sigh:) on the trackbike.

FELLOW GOONS: WHEN THIS POSTER OFFERS TO BRAID YOUR PUBES, SAY NO!!!
If dumbass bikers were taking up all three lanes straight across at 10-20 under the speed limit to create distance for wheelies and I had somewhere to be quickly I would blow by them, too. Sorry, when you're willfully making other people's lives difficult and exuding a sense of self entitlement to the entire highway you're inviting a dangerous situation. I'm not condoning any of the behavior prior to or after the pass, but the pass was clean and they left motorists little other option if they were time constrained.

I'm also not the least bit shocked that Jack the Smack has bar none the dumbest comment on the video.

I just had a tiedown attached to my mirror, using their goggle strap mount.

If I were doing it more permenantly and helmet cams weren't prohibited in the AFM, I'd mount it to my helmet using their attached mount. As it is, I'll probably mount it to the front triple on my motorcycle and go from there.
