    Loud Buzzing at 7000rpm and up (video)

    Hey everyone, I've got a 2004 FZ6 with about 16000 miles on it--a few months ago before the winter I noticed a distinct buzzing sound coming from the engine; it would always start between 6000 and 7000 rpm. It happens whether or not the bike is in gear, whether or not it is stationary, and...

    What's the best Action Camcorder GoPro, Drift, Contour, Adixxion, or other?

    For me the price isn't worth it...I can get a student/teacher discount with my job which makes the Production Premium cost right around $500 for me. Also I had a full copy of Production Premium CS4 so that qualified me for an upgrade price to CS5.5 of around $450... Adobe CS bundles generally...

    Late November Night Ride - Gopro Hero3

    My job is to run the graphics department in the video production department at RIT (a university). Working at a university means that I get academic discounts on a lot of the software I buy which is a huge blessing! :) That being said there are a couple of free and inexpensive pieces of...

    Late November Night Ride - Gopro Hero3

    I use Adobe Premiere CS5.5 at the moment, I'm looking to upgrade to CS6 soon (that's what I use at work). The beauty of Premiere is that it handles multiple codecs and video file types quite well in a single timeline...one of my other projects had everything from JPEG image sequences to mov's to...

    What's the best Action Camcorder GoPro, Drift, Contour, Adixxion, or other?

    From my experience with a Contour+, hero 2, Sony action cam, and now hero 3, my vote goes to the Hero 3. Once again from my experience the hero 3 has: Best image quality Best low light options Best variety of shooting options, e.g fps and resolution Best and readily available mounting...

    Late November Night Ride - Gopro Hero3

    Thanks for all the comments guys! The music is "Anthem" by Emancipator, a band that my brother told me about just the other day--they have an amazing sound! Emancipator - Anthem (2006) - YouTube I had been using a Contour+ for little while before I got my Hero 3 and felt pretty impressed with...

    Late November Night Ride - Gopro Hero3

    Thank you! The helmet mount is shown in the picture--I took the curved adhesive mount and slapped it on the right side of my helmet. I only used parts that came with the Hero3 kit for this one. Be careful picking a direction (camera standing up or hanging upside down) and side that you put...

    Two Brothers, Two Bikes - 5 day motorcycle trip

    Thanks for the comments everyone! As far as the Contour goes, I never ended up contacting Contour themselves. It would randomly shoot things completely our of focus, and eventually it just stayed completely out of focus. I ended up taking the lens off and manually rotating the element so it...

    Two Brothers, Two Bikes - 5 day motorcycle trip

    So a few weeks ago my older brother and I embarked on an epic motorcycle adventure...five days through four states. Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, and Vermont. This was the first multi-day trip I've been on with my bike. I returned armed with 50 gigs of footage and the determination to create...

    Pirelli Angel ST

    I bought my bike with new Angel ST's on it. as it was my first and only bike, I have nothing to really compare it to, but the tires never let me down! Rode 5 hours in heavy rain once, speeds ranging from 60 to 90 mph...never slipped, not even once! I just replaced them before a big trip, they...

    Motorcycle Superstore coupon anyone? - Buying tires

    Thanks for the replies -- redballs I'll send you a PM soon! Definitely re-thinking which tires to get now. As many others do, I want a tire that will last forever, stick like glue in the twisties, float over water in storms, and stick to snow and ice in winter. That would be one hell of a...

    "Hard Wiring" a GPS Unit, Any Experience?

    First thing I did to my bike before I got the plates was install a distribution block/power relay under the seat. I'm pretty handy but don't have a lot of electrical experience, so I found this generic guide to be invaluable: http://www.canyonchasers.net/shop/generic/relay.php Now I just run...
