You're crazy going 100 plus on those roads, especially when its wet. Way too many entry points for vehicles to pull out in front of you. Even I wouldn't be expecting anything to approach me at that rate of speed. R.I.P.

I can't wait tell Defyinertia see this!!!
good quality camera though, I want to get one to record my rides also. I want to mount it on the bars to get a view of the speedo. what type of mounts came with your camera?

I made a camera mount for a small handicam camcorder that used a hose clamp to hold it to the bars. it worked but the video was very shakey because of the weight of the camera. I want to find a camera that doesn't weigh a ton that doesn't cost too much.

nice video, it looks good in the sunny weather other than it puts a black spot over the sun. but good video, no vibrations, and decent sound (not all wind)

Nice vid, very stable camera, I'm impressed with the set up.
without sounding boring watch yourself, It's fine when there aren't any side roads etc, but you obviously know the roads in your neck of the woods.
Looking forward to other vids :thumbup:

Nice quality video you just need to edit out the boring parts.

Crazy, selfish, call it what you want most all of us have done it at some point (usually as a newb) but many of us have realized how stupid this is before something bad happened. Time for the track! :thumbup:

I can't wait tell Defyinertia see this!!!

That and the way you were riding etc.

I'm not too concerned about YOUR safety, more for the other people/kids/dogs etc. minding their own business. Ok ok, I'll shut up now...not trying to preach or be a drag.

Getting on the track is pretty easy. Are you anywhere near Kent, WA?

NICE ....good quality video.... when you move your head up it looks like a wheelie...

I have to echo the safety concerns... .I have had my bike up to 130+ so I am not just crabby.... but please for your sake and those who share your roads pick a better place to let it out.

no cross roads or points of entry.... when I did my speed run I prerode the section of road for Cops/ debris/ possible people either walking or hunting along side the road etc..... then rolled back to my starting point and Let her rip.... never even made it to 6th ... that was fast enough I saw 132 once I let off..... what a rush.

dangerous yes... to a point ... but I did mitigate some of the risk

have fun and be safe
