Default Canyon Ride and Video Clip

Hello everyone,
I made this video last Saturday on the Los Angeles Crest National Forrest (2 highway).
The camera mounted was mounted on the gas tank of my F4i 2005. It has over 20 min long in high-quality format. It was tapped using a high-def video camera, but of course we can't see it here it trully hi-def format.

Very cool video. Your camera seems quite nice. I can only imagine how good it looks on a tv. I think it'd be cool to install a small convex mirror (like the stickon kind for side view mirrors) next to your gauges (or somewhere near) that would show you and your movements on the bike in the reflection... I imagine your camera is good enough that with the right mirror, you'd get a great view out the front and also a little bit of a rear view... just a thought...

Cool vid dude.

Just a tip, don't be afraid to wind that engine out. You're doing some hard cornering at 2500-6000 RPM. Bike almost sounds like a Buell at times. Bike will feel more stable if you keep the RPMs above 8000-10000 RPM. You'll have more power coming through the corners and a lot more compression which makes deceleration into corners easier too.

I also noticed that he's having trouble modulating the throttle...your control is very choppy and you were making mid-turn adjustments, which can get you into trouble, because you end up weighting the front end and upsetting the suspension...that's bad news during a turn.

When you're in the power band like kiggy mentioned, you'll have a better time setting your entry speed...keep your maintenance gas then roll it on at the apex...be as smooth as possible, use proper body positioning and you'll eventually have no problem keeping up with your friend.

In a nut shell...BE SMOOTH!
