If I didn't have clamshells on the Uly, one would already have a hole. Top loaders are so much better than clamshells.

That's why I want to move out west. Just look at that scenery. My wife and I are likely RV road tripping through SD and Montana next year.

Just bought a GoPro-like action cam, a SJCAM SJ4000. I mounted it on my handlebars and this is the result I got:

How do I get rid of that wavy effect that apparently the noise and vibrations from my monster 150cc Yamaha apparently creates? I eventually want to mount it to my helmet, but want to sort out the little things like this first.

You need to isolate it from vibration somehow. Usually a helmet mount is the easiest way, but you could gently caress around with isolation mounts or whatever.

With a helmet mount your body will absorb the vibration, so no need to worry there. Vibration mounts usually involve rubber between the camera and the mount, so you can try wrapping rubber or foam under the mount for a cheap solution.

The mount did come with a bit of rubber, but I may have put it the wrong way around. I'll try fixing it and see what I get. Otherwise, trying to find a good spot on my helmet; lots of weird curves and creases make finding a decent spot a bit difficult. What's better, side mount or top mount?

3M double-sided tape (the clear kind) is very good at getting rid of vibrations.

I want to know how many times he had to slam the front down at mach3 while doing bad wheelies to make that happen.

Or what kind of nasty crash damage it had that he was ignoring.

If that is honda losing their minds, they can ride the crazy train as long as they want. I love it. The cluster is totally future rad, too.



To be fair, I've liked their cyberpunk, massive fairing, cruiser bikes they have come out with in the last few years. I'd even want that in auto transmission.


vvvvvvvvvvvvvv Yeah, and it looks comfy as all get out.

It's a shapeless, top-heavy-looking lump of anti-form without a hint of grace, a disturbingly large amount of lovely plastic corporate moonscape and laughably terrible looking wheels and forks.

Being a Honda I'm sure it's wonderfully practical and excellent at it's intended role.
