Supposedly the guy was a gymnast so flying in the air wasn't a big thing.

Changing the subject to something impractical.

Looks like a snow mobile.

Would probably be cool to take a snowmobile to the street.

It does look really large on me though :( I suppose I could start looking for a different one...

I wouldn't worry about it. I look the same in my RF-1100 except I hide behind a mirrored visor. Skinny small body frame + large looking helmet = Viewtiful Joe look alike. People are going to be distracted by your smiling and having fun on the bike to notice. If it's too much of a bother, Arai makes a pretty small helmet i think? Probably my next helmet upgrade.

They'll probably just think BIKES was taken, so it's HNasty's 2nd choice.

Clearly people will think it says beaks.

I think girls are just not good at riding things with two wheels possibly... I don't know where they found these chicks.

To be fair, here's the men's highlights for comparison i guess.

Jesus, I actually ducked when I saw that bike come flying by.

Am I crazy for this and turning my bike into a lightcycle? It would help my visibility when I ride home at night since I wear black gear.

Let's see if we can't get this back on picture chat after several pages of plain old boring chat!

(Here's hoping this works. I can see them, and I *think* I've marked them public in Picasa/"Google Images". I miss waffleimages!)

Not a chance the truck driver is at fault.

My co worker, who used to drive a semi, says if the prius was in was a dedicated turning lane then the truck driver would most likely be at fault. Anything else and it's the prius driver's fault. I asked what about that small turning radius, he said you would veer out left a bit then make the turn right.

Hard to say with limited footage and area info because it looks like the prius is going straight so then he's at fault.

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.

This video made Tosh.0 . I wish I could remember the slick burns he said. From the ninja crash, I guess it's better to take a crash head on than from the side? The force of a side impact seemed to brake his left femur from being planted on the peg? Maybe just let off the thighs for superman takeoff before impact?

Wait looking closely at the video there are big horizontal flywheels spinning. Wouldn't that make it useless at turning because of their resistance to it being inclined? How is it powered? There is seriously a lot of poo poo going on here that I don't understand. I'm going to bed.

It reminded me of the company that actually made the new tron bike or bat mobile where you never really saw the bike turning. This also reminds me of the "fly the road" concept that went nowhere apparently for who knows.
