My first on bike video

[beyond]

Hiyas peeps.

My first on the bike video. This is through the Hunua Gorge and back again.
The first half the camera was mounted on the bars so a little bumpy as I have preload near maximum.

The rear facing view was mounted on the left rear footpeg so a lot smoother and will be my forward and rear facing point of view from now.

The whine is chain and sprocket noise in the rear facing section as the camera was a couple of centimetres away from the chain and rear sproket.

Kinda looks a little slower than the actual speeds but that's vids for ya :)

I can see that it's fast when I compared the speed of the cage you passed at the beginning, also the engine idle sounds fast :yes:

Nice leaning :)

Nice one brother. Love the view from the back. :niceone:

When did you sneak out??

[Ragingrob]

Now that looked like fun! :2thumbsup

Sneaked out after work quickly for 20 minutes just after I got back from a couple of laps in a race RX7 at Puke track. That was an awesome experience. The grip in the corners and braking at the end of the straight was phenomenal :)

come to Taupo!

[mbazza]

Ah, a nice ride, thanks. Cheers

[fergie]

what sort of speed are you going?

[jrandom]

Looking nice and smooth there, beyond. Glad to see that the legal speed limit was never exceeded.

;)

[DMNTD]

what sort of speed are you going?
Knowing Mr B...about 105kmph 'cause he's a saint I tell ya! :eek:



Cool vid mate,will catch up soon enough for a wee pootle about the Ranges :niceone:

[Headbanger]

Very cool.

I'm a good boy, really I am :) :rolleyes:

The cars on the open areas I overtook were doing around 100-110kmh.
Where the wind noise gets up on the real safe straight sections around........... Formula follows:
Think of a number, now double it and add 440 and then halve that result then take away the number you first thought of and you should have your answer give or take a few kmh.

[terbang]

Ah yes, recognise that smoothe style... Cool vid

Nice ride - still overtaking on double yellows round a corner is not something I'd do or even pretend to think is ok. But as long as you know the road I don't care if you do 2.2x the legal limit.

Where is Hanua gorge anyway? Looks like a nice place for a ride. Would be nice if you could sort out the vibration for the forward mount though. :)

[beyond]

Yeah, trouble is with the gorge it's all double yellow lines now :(
When I overtake on these things I ensure it's safe, yes I know the road and try as much as possible not to cross the yellow line or ride on it.

Cheers all.

The forward mount was on the right blinker and I have the front preload up to max so the vibration is quite high. I'm going to use the rear peg for the forward mount as well and that should be an interesting viewpoint and a lot smoother too :)

Sorry mate.

Hunua gorge is just out of Papakura between, South Auckland and Hunua in South Auckland. Connects with some might fine motorcycling roads of which you will see some more soon :)

[Edbear]

Nice Vid! Makes me want one! Glad to see you out and about and posting again!

Looks like me and the Missus will be getting out a bit more now, so may have to check out the gorge road ourselves!

[Blairos]

Nice one mate! :ride:
