Title: Scrubbing The Tyres In
Post by: Twisted on July 16, 2013, 01:39:54 AM
Finally got some new tyres and decided to take the Go Pro I got for a bargain for a ride.

Good stuff... what tyres did you get?

Interesting camera position there too, fun to see what your hands/arms do...

I really should get some of my recent footage edited and uploaded...

I see you're in the habit of always cancelling the blinkers. I do that too, even when they're not on, lol.

The new Bridgestone S20s. Heard a few good reviews on them and thought I would give em a whirl. I just use a suction mount on the tank and position the camera near my chest.

Ha ha, I didn't realize I was that bad until I saw the vid. When I first started riding I used to leave the blinker on constantly. I think I have OCDed myself into always double checking every few minutes. I have seen a vid on here (Burning1 I think) doing a race on the track and doing it. Made me laugh.

Cool vid mang! Definitely like the angle, i'm guessing the chesty mount/strap? That's one mount I really like but don't have yet

I hadn't heard of the S20's, did a quick search and they look really good! I'm on bt003's right now and don't see me getting many miles out of them since they are more race style. Keep us posted on how the S20's do, they look like a good choice for me next round.

I do the cancel blinker click all the time, and I don't even have blinker on the bike haha

I hate it when I'm sitting at a stop light waiting to turn and will instinctually check to see if my blinker is on, turn it off, then realize, "HEY, that's was on for a reason", lol.  Happens too often

Done this also. Agreed annoying but better than riding around with your blinker on like a goober.

Suction mount on the tank. It sits about the same height as my chest though.
