About your parkinglot video:
1. Edit out dead space.
2. Stay in front of the camera. It was boring because we just saw "flybys" of your bike, and couldn't tell what you were actually doing.

What you should have been doing was tight figure 8's, maybe some tight looped circles, and things like that, in the view of the camera. Just driving around in circles at 30mph doesn't really do a whole lot.

As for the leg thing, keep it in. Knees are only dragged so one can determine how much more space one has before the bike lowsides off its tires. On most streetbikes, the pegs drag before that point anyway.

i was going in circles so the camera sees me far and close. you can see me from afar too but i guess it was too far.

also, i only recorded that vid so i can see if my form has improved... and based on the new pic on my sig... it looks like my form has improved. :D

i wish i had another person w/ me, so they can stand in the middle and record while i go in circles.

Here's an idea for your next video. Get a buddy to hold the camera and keep it on you. Then start chasing him on the bike waving your sword.

That would be exciting.

i haven't drank alchohol in a very long time since im allergic to it. but it's my friend's party so i went there and drank.

i did stop before i fully get drunk and lose my senses and i slept there for a while and checked my reaction time before i rode my bike home.

i got home fine but today my whole body is itching and is all red from my allergic reactions. i thought i was cured already since the effects didn't show up at the party.

no riding for me today. :(

Did you go to that first video I linked to? The guy does the same thing... he says it is a vid of a particular road, but then he takes like five minutes to gear up and you're just seeing cars go past... then he starts riding and it's another 30 minutes of surface streets... it takes the first 50 minutes just to get to the road....

I'm pointing this out to say that you are not alone... he too needed an editor.... but he's not here and you are so you get the harassment. Life ain't fair.... :laughing:

All in fun. :D
Not only was his video poorly done, he passed that Ford truck on a curve across a double solid line. If he wants to do stupid dangerous stuff, then he should at least edit it from his video.



Vermilion, did you remove your video? I clicked on the link, but it said it was no longer there.

I was referring to the video of that Dave Reznick (or whatever his name was). There was a link to a video of him going riding on some twisty roads, but it is long and slow to get going. He was who passed on a curve and crossed a double solid line.

I have not seen your video.

oh ok... :laughing:

i pass on double yellow lines too but only when it's clear. it's really no fun getting caught behind trucks and slow cars.

some even give me space to pass. :D
