thanks...you'll see me scrape the peg in one turn and almost lose it.  :oops:

the camera was mounted on center of the handlebar...it's not a good place due to pretty bad vibration. i find that the gas tank has the least amount of vibration anywhere on the bike. so i'm going to try the tank next time.

Hmm. The bars seemed kind of shaky at times.

Do you ever find them wagging on you?

Scared me a couple of times.

Like passing around a blind corner and coming really close to the dirt and swinging out into the other lane. Other than that cool vids.

I like the part when the 5-6 bikes roll by the other direction...  Must have been a sunny weekend.   :thumb:

Looks like fun.  You might try getting a mic extension and mounting it somewhere shielded, like under the tail, so you get more engine sound and not so much wind noise.  Ya think?

yea, i usually put the mic inside the tank bag which works pretty good. but that day, i tried putting it behind the tank bag. it still caught enough of wind noise.

I hear filming rides makes it look like you're going 20-30 MPH faster than  the actual speed of the bike.  You weren't really exceeding the speed limit at any time during the filming?  Right?
