Hey All, I bought an '04 FZ6 this April with 20k miles on it, and put 3500 of my own on it over the summer. I bought it from a friend, who is about 230 lb and who drove VERY aggressively and rode the bike on the track regularly. When I bought it, he said that he was going to be replacing...

Honestly I don't even feel the two are competing products. GoPro for sure unless you are really tight on cash :thumbup:

Going naked will improve this experience vastly. It's quieter and the wind is much more even, I strongly prefer the wind on my naked bike to my friend's with the stock and now the touring windscreen. The only reason you wouldn't want to go naked is if you plan on regularly spending 5+ hours on...

Dammit, now I want a BMW. Sweet show though, watching through all the episodes now.

Well both parties have strong motivation to behave responsibly. There have been some notable lapses recently (bp), but in the vast majority of situations the system works. People aren't perfect (particularly those in power), but you have to go through life with some small amount of trust in...

Southern Michigan as well -- there are now two new wells within 500m of my parent's house. As long as the gas company and regulators are being responsible there is next to no environmental impact. In every case I've seen so far, the only loss is a couple hundred square meters of farmland...

Wish the people my age causing so much damage in London would take a look at the 45 photos of the Battle of Britain. It's sad to see how similar recent photos of London appear.

Haha! I should know better than to insult boxers...

You can find me at ‪charliedwyer's Channel‬‏ - YouTube I'll be spending my free time over the next couple days working my way through all these channels!

BMWs are mostly boxers and extremely ugly, so I'm not sure why people would get them confused...

Great photos! Post one over in 'The Riding Game' thread in the bar -- the current challenge is a shot with 35+ degrees of lean. I think you have that covered pretty well :BLAA:

Well I'll complete my own challenge just to get things moving again. Surprising that nobody has a monkey lying around... Here we are, my bike with a cat i borrowed from my roommate: For the next challenge, lets try your bike in a 35+ degree lean.

As you all have probably gathered by now I'm somewhat obsessed with my GoPro (I'm a videographer by profession so I suppose it's only natural). I actually got the camera for another hobby, whitewater kayaking, and only later figured out how awesome it was for motorcycling as well. Yesterday a...

Great stuff! Black and white seems to work extra well with the GoPro since the camera already has a limited dynamic range. I just scored a suction cup mount, so I'm going to have to see what other fun angles I can come up with. Your mountain biking video makes me want to find a bike on...

I wear a size 44 US (54 Euro) jacket, which translates I believe into an XL Japanese jacket. I fit into an XL armored mesh jacket, but it was a bit shorter in the torso than the motion. My sleeve length is 35, and the sleeves on the motion are just about half an inch shorter than ideal...

While it would have been nice to drive up to the house, as you all can see the driveway wasn't exactly accessible: Next Challenge: Your bike with your pet riding it (bonus points if you have a pet monkey)

I think the ideal gear is entirely a matter of what size you are. Personally I'm 6'6" and 155 lb (I know, it's ridiculous), and it took me half a year of pain and return shipping to find a jacket that actually fits me anywhere close to reasonably. American brands were waaaay too big around in...

Yeah I hate that with a passion. Why I can't use music I bought to accompany a personal, non-commercial video is beyond me. You saw what I did with my latest video... was too lazy to sift through and find a non-copyrighted song that fit, so no audio. Not a good solution, just the result of...

Sure thing! Took these shots just now with my iPhone... not great image quality but hopefully you get the point: The GoPro mounts come with double sided 3M adhesive on them, about a millimeter hangs off on both ends.

Just threw together a quick timelapse of all 1400 images. Came out to be 58 seconds at 24 frames per second: YouTube - ‪BikeLapse‬‏
