Removed the MRA Highway Shield, back to riding naked again, must say its not bad but only for commuting, need a shield for long distance riding which is the Bandits job.  MRA shield is going on the wife's Intruder after I pick it up Wednesday, she'll need it and appreciate it.  May buy another MRA Street or Road Shield for the GS500, haven't decided yet.

Rain today. So started cleaning up all the bolts and stuff to get ready to fix up Quin and build another G500.
Fun to run parts through the vibrating parts cleaner. In they go. 12-24 hours later sparkling shiny clean!
Now to sort them into the parts bins.
I have no idea what to do with over 40 rotor bolts and so many of the other parts. Parts just seem to migrate to the Bike Cave.

I'm surprised how smooth the footage is.  I would have expected a bit more shaking and vibration.  Might try a similar position myself.  It does provide a good POV, makes it seem really fast.

Do you have any pictures of the setup you used? I like that angle a lot.

Also, slightly off topic, but the GoPro Hero 3 is set to hit shelves by the end of this month. GoPro is being sneaky about it.

Yea I'm a little blown away that there was no vibration at all in that spot. Perfect in my opinion.

Well here is my test if the Sony action cam touted as the go pro killer. What do you guys think?

Some say that he submitted a $20000 expense claim for some gravel

And that if he'd write a letter of condolance he would at least spell your name right.

not bad, but not a killer, but then again how much Youtube kills the quality is also a question to consider.

like the Lotus comment, you know Lotus means Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious. :icon_mrgreen:

Well it's not full hi def but I'm happy and with the right software to render in a high quality well see it come into its own
