A few videos from our ride yesterday (12-24)
 

So I've spent my last couple days off playing around up in the mountains (sorry northern peeps.... I know I know.... shoot me later [&:]). I got to thinking.... I haven't tried out the video cam in forever, so I decided to give it a shot. Unfortunately I can't seem to find a necessary part to my 'good' camera mount (the adjustable one), so I had to use my old fixed position one instead, which as you can tell cuts off right in the middle of the speedo, lol. The wide angle lens helps out ALOT though compared to the regular lens

I apologize for the really bad video quality.... I had to compress each down from about 400-500 MB each, to under 100MB. Then when I uploaded them it got compressed even more, and the little remaining quality they had disappeared, and the video quality is total crap now :( No knocking my video editing skillz (or lack thereof, lol)... I just threw these together quick. I'm not that fast up there by any means.... actually pretty slow compared to some of these guys (hence the reason I'm in the back all the time, lol). Not really up there to race anybody anyways.... just out to have some fun and enjoy the ride ;) I couldn't quite seem to get in my usual rythm though.... really don't know why

Anyways... enjoy!!

1st... Blood Mountain - US 129 in N. GA

2nd... Wolfpen Gap Rd - GA 180. My bike seems to have developed some shifting issues here... it didn't want to stay in 3rd gear at all after you rolled off the throttle, kept shifting back to 2nd. I guess I've gotta reaplace my shift star and detent spring soon! [:@]

3rd... LOL this one is pretty boring... the road I live on, going back to my house. I guess it could be a little fun going fast enough! hahah

That's all... maybe more next weekend if I go out. I was gonna head up early today to Deals Gap but ended up sleeping until noon....oops

Nice!!!! Weather looks awesome for this time of year.

Had a hard time watching with the sound on.
Kept making me want to sit in a corner and get a back rub from some chick covered in glitter;)

[sm=smiley36.gif][sm=smiley36.gif][sm=smiley36.gif] LOL Like I said... just something I threw together quick. I just found whatever ambiance type music I could find on bearshare with no copyright protection, and in it went, hahah. Hey I could have used some 70's porno music! [&:]


But yea the weather was pretty nice! About 55-60 and sunny all day. But man soon as the sun went down, it got pretty chilly! I kept having to put more layers on as I made my way home (about an hour and a half). Beautiful day to ride though... and no traffic! Today wasn't quite as nice... overcast with rain in the forecast. I went for a short ride around town today but nothing major

LOL.... Thought you would get a kick out of that. I love all kinds of music. Used to hold my own parties back in the early-mid 90's. When they were still parties and not quite mainstream yet.

Weather here sucks. Yesterday was real good, cold but clear. Got caught with snow again on my way home today. Cant wait till spring/summer time.

RE: A few videos from our ride yesterday (12-24)
 

I need to move somewhere warmer.

You look like you have a good, responsible pace to your riding. I like seeing that.

RE: A few videos from our ride yesterday (12-24)
 

Thanks!! :D While I do enjoy a spirited ride just as much as the next guy, safety is still a top priority for me. I don't like to push my luck.... not on the street, and especially on these roads (180 is NOT a road you want to f**k up on!!). If I want to ride balls to the wall I'll go to the track, where I know if I go down I'm not gonna slide off a cliff, into a tree, or have my head chopped off by a guardrail (happened to a buddy of mine... they really are like razors). I just stay in my 'comfort zone', and leave a little buffer still just cuz ya never know. I always enjoy the ride more that way, even if I am the last one in everytime... doesn't bother me any ;)

I dunno I've never been one to 'toot my own horn', but I've always considered myself to be a responsible and courteous rider. I try to at least.... that's also why I wear this... every ride, every time

Attachment 77995


Along with my Shoei lid, Nitro boots, gloves, ect as well. Along with not riding like a total jackass, it's all part of being a responsible rider, IMHO... cuz ya just never know ;) And with as much as I ride, if I rode like a jackass and/or didn't dress properly, I'd probably be dead by now

RE: A few videos from our ride yesterday (12-24)
 

Nice clips, your right about taking it slow on 129 and 180.I saw a guy on a superhawk go off in the ditch in the 1st 180 degree turn on hwy180 coming from 129 one morning and about 11 other people picked up that day on 129 and 180.Even saw a guy flip a scooter over the guard rail coming up 129 that day.I 'm the same as you always the last one their at TWO.

RE: A few videos from our ride yesterday (12-24)
 

Cool vids nice lookin roads, i had to put it on full screen and pretend i was riding (kinda like a virtual reality thing) i wont be able to ride for at least another 3-4 months today it was a balmy 16 degrees with snow and slush not quite optimal riding weather. I'm jealous so count your blessings you lucky ba$tard j/k but really i am jealous.

RE: A few videos from our ride yesterday (12-24)
 

Absolutely.... really any of these roads, you go down at any kind of speed, you're done [:-] I haven't personally watched anyone go down here yet (seen plenty of people go down in front of me in other places though... not fun), but I've heard plenty of stories. Enough to keep me in check ;)


Hey I just realized you're in Buford... cool! Not far away from me at all... we'll have to meet up sometime! Are you on GSB or BSB??

RE: A few videos from our ride yesterday (12-24)
 

I'm about ten mins from Mall of Georgia off hwy 20 so I guess bsb.Right now I'm reassembling my 98f3. New flat black paint on fairings and frame.Trying to sell to get a litre bike.Been riding the f3 for 5 or 6 years and getting bored.If you know anybody interested $2000 gets it.Where is Winterville at?

RE: A few videos from our ride yesterday (12-24)
 

LOL nah I meant the local forums.... BSB = blokessportbike.com and GSB = georgiasportbike.com. Winterville is just east of Athens... about 15 mins or so

I wish I had $2k at hand, I'd take the F3 off your hands. I'd like to pick something up cheap to put on the track come springtime, so I can keep the F4i in nice shape for street duty. Thinking of either an SV650 or an F3 or something similar. I'm broke right now though :( I'll keep an eye out though and let ya know if I hear of anybody!

RE: A few videos from our ride yesterday (12-24)
 

Sorry I don't go to either of those sights never heard of them.My sister lives in Athens.I think in Jefferson not real sure.

RE: A few videos from our ride yesterday (12-24)
 

I'm only in front if I'm leading the ride. If my buddies know where we are going, they usually wait for me. Kinda scary to catch up to them a few minutes later and hear 'dude, I just **** myself back there' or 'man, I almost bit it.' That would ruin a ride for me.

BTW, nice gear. I just got myself a suit. Too bad I can only look at it for the next two-three months. :(

RE: A few videos from our ride yesterday (12-24)
 

Music sucked. :D Kidding. (but not really.) :D:D:D

RE: A few videos from our ride yesterday (12-24)
 

Yeah +1 on the being safe no wonder you rolled over 100k lol, but I couldnt help myself to tearing up those roads if they were anywhere closer to me, all I do is drive in a straight being by the city, maybe hit the twisties once a month ( if im lucky )

RE: A few videos from our ride yesterday (12-24)
 

+1 I used to be all in the rave scene back in the day. Brought back some funny memories. Great post too!

RE: A few videos from our ride yesterday (12-24)
 

i want 2min of my life back.. that was lame..

RE: A few videos from our ride yesterday (12-24)
 

Well if you have something that much better, then by all means post it up :eek: I never claimed my videos were great, and I even said they were just something I threw together quick. I was just trying out my cam on our ride and posted up the results.... just as I originally said. I'm not out to impress anyone, so if I didn't impress you, well to be honest I really could care less. I'm just out to have a good time.

That being said... if you're looking for a perfect masterpiece production, then don't watch my videos. Simple really!

BTW constructive criticism is great when you give an explanation as to why you feel the way you do, so that way one can improve. But to just say 'it was lame' with no explanation as to why, well that just makes you look like a dick

RE: A few videos from our ride yesterday (12-24)
 

Someones mom gave them to much haterade!!!!

RE: A few videos from our ride yesterday (12-24)
 

Well since i can only pretend to ride right now, i enjoyed the vids. You make keep those few minutes of my life, i have more left.

There is a local ride here on the 1st and its supposed to get to a blistering 44 degrees and cloudy.

RE: A few videos from our ride yesterday (12-24)
 

My ColdGear handles that fairly well. I need some grip warmers like Jareds tho lol.

RE: A few videos from our ride yesterday (12-24)
 

Hey, Depending on what time you guys go maybe we can make it a group ride? Jared, give me a call and I may be able to join up.
Just gotta be back in time for the Dawgs Sugar bowl game ;)

RE: A few videos from our ride yesterday (12-24)
 

Yeah, would you...Nick is getting pwned ever worse...right now! [sm=icon_rofl.gif]

RE: A few videos from our ride yesterday (12-24)
 

Yeah so does mine, but knowing you guys are out in 60 degree weather just makes it feel that much colder.

Grip warmers are a must!!!!

RE: A few videos from our ride yesterday (12-24)
 

hey jared and kewlbreeze you bastards better keep me in the loop for rides starting mid january up there

RE: A few videos from our ride yesterday (12-24)
 

Everybody's always got to hate on trance/techno/ambiance/whatever.:( I loved the music!:D The video was plenty cool. Makes me wish there was a road with a curve within 40 miles of me... *sigh* Oh well, I'm grabbing some trackdays when it opens back up... maybe that'll sate me! Anyway, nice music, nice video, and nice ride!

RE: A few videos from our ride yesterday (12-24)
 

relax... i was merely pushing the point that the video was not exciting.. thus making it "lame" sure its cool you got to ride on xmas eve.. but i dont get to see the excitement in the video.. anything else you need me to explain.. want to know how a baby is made?
