Back in December fellow goon I like TANG and myself headed over to Vietnam to do a week of riding in the north east area of the country. I threw this vid together when I got back. I used a GoPro helmet cam for anyone wondering. This is really fun to watch. Thanks! How'd you pick the route? Was it just spots and roads your guide new about?

TheCosmicMuffet posted:This is really fun to watch. Thanks! Thanks guys, glad you like it, fun to make. The route was loosely established but our guide would pick roads that day based on how he felt we could handle it. For the most part it was pretty easy riding, days 1 and 2 were actually the hardest. On day 1 it rained and we got bogged down in clay (I didn't get any good shots of this unfortunately) and day 2 were the roughest roads that saw a couple guys spill. Long (our guide) was awesome and overall a great guide, pretty laid back but knew when to push the pace, and a funny guy to boot. One of the guys also had a GPS tracker on him the whole time so we could view where we went afterwards as a Google Earth file. If anyone is interested in the route we took it's the "Northeast Loop" option on OffroadVietnam.com. We were scheduled to do the Northwest loop but changed it at the last minute (they were cool with it) because we thought the NE one would have better scenic stuff. No regrets there, but the whole country is beautiful so you really can't go wrong. If I could do it over I'd do a slightly longer tour.

 Why the husky always gotta be breaking down, bro? You haven't experienced a proper group ride until you've experienced a SUMO group ride. Hell, you haven't experienced life until you ride a sumo.  Then of course we had to leave before all the harley dudes showed up and jumped us for not fitting in. I want to start an ironic super moto gang so bad.

The most  German hillclimb video ever.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukgf0DwV-14 Haha the guy at 8:18 picks up, and looks like hes about to throw a brick sized rock at his bike. and 8:30  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eg3d62FvYDo Is that a side-car? Yes, it is. (8:10) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWjuTWCH660 Viking Chariots, Gixxer dirt trikes, and all matter of WTF. Yes its worth the 40 minutes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXvmW6_4cJk

They used to show that hillclimb event on eurosport every year. It was freaking awesome. I think they stopped the event because the land owner didn't want to do it anymore.

I really like the red/white (my sm610 is grey). In the video you can see that green light on the left of the display. It's to let you know that the lights are. But they're always on, so it's just annoying.

BlackMK4 posted:More pics and some info on the 636, if you don't already have them. Thanks; I'd only seen the one pic I posted cribbed from the Custom Fighters forum. Is it just me or would a lot of 'fighters benefit from owners not trying to make the headlight configuration as ridiculous as possible? Everyone's tastes are different, but they look so much better to me with either a single oval or Dominator-style dual configuration. I absolutely cannot wrap my head around trying to have it look like there's an alien/transformer/robot/skull in front of your triples. Case-in-point, here's the same bike:  Even if he color-matched it, to me at least, it'd still look silly, although I'll admit it's not as bad as some of the other abominations I've seen.

You may notice the R32 has no front brake, and the rear brake actually uses a piece of wood as a brake pad on that false rim (the extra black ring in the spokes) kind of like a bicycle brake.
