Ghetto rigged my gopro to my Kriega R35 using some cable ties and the base its comes mounted on in the pack, worked pretty well for 5 minutes work. need to move it down though as I kept bonking it with my helmet when I looked down and left.
I never use the front pockets on the chestplate of the bag so I'm thinking of mounting it permanently inside one of them and carefully cutting out a hole for the mount to stick through.

here is the most interesting bit of the test drive, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4itg8oCg2T8

i messed up clipping out this section and then youtube compressed it wierd, the actual video quality is excellent.


Hah, spinning dog indeed. I was thinking of getting or making a chest mount but maybe I should take your approach and make an attachment to my R25.

Yeah, pretty much. I mean, from the craigslist pictures it looks okay, the picture you posted actually makes it look decent but at that price point? No way.

It's also a weird bike to cafe out because of the shape of the tank and the way it curves.

On the other end of the spectrum, here's a full size motorcycle with a 50cc engine:


Derbi GPR 50

A friend of mine had one of these, and it was seriously the most disappointing ride I've ever taken. You take a look at the bike and think it's gonna be OK, but then you twist the throttle and what a let down. And I was daily driving a CBR150 at the time, so you can imagine how terrible the performance was! It was almost criminal that they wasted that bike on that engine.

PR contains some of the best riding music ever, period. It was likely written on a bike, and you can sort of tell. Try keeping your feet from dancing off the pegs during Computer Blue the whole damned thing.

Got my first bike a couple of days ago. Went out for 3 hours today around San Diego.







I took a planned turn and after 2 miles it turned into a dirt road. Rather than backtrack, I just said gently caress it and took the bumpy road for 4 miles. It was pretty fun and I did slide a bit.

Not really sure which thread to put these in. My bike dealer had a spring open house with some interesting turnout. There were a bunch of heavily race-modded sportbikes that left before I started taking pictures (S1000RR, RSV4, 20 years worth of Ducatis.) What I did get shots of:


Tuono V4, Bimota Tesi


BSA thumper, BMW, Norton




BSA 650 with deliberately mismatched parts


Thumpers


Moto Guzzi with working police kit

Very nice show of bikes. I love the police Guzzi, you could spend whole days in that saddle no problem.

Spotted this Firebolt XB12R at work today, Buells are extremely uncommon 'round these parts.

There's an 1125R for sale on my local CL. I'm pretty sure I've rode the bike before. He wants $6k and gently caress me if it's not tempting to go take out a loan for it. The only thing stopping me is parts availability after I inevitably wad it up because there's so much torque

That's the last big sweeper at Pacific Raceways before the straight. The asphalt is absolute poo poo and nearly every crash I've seen happen at that track happens on that turn. Usually the front washes out, though.
