Hi guys. wanted to put them in their own thread because it looks like theres going to be HEAPS.

some of you might know, the camera mount failed me today and shook like crazy the whole trip. Its hardly watchable.

Im uploading a few small clips though. watch this space.

HMMM. seems I cant upload attachments at the moment.

6 Files.

badcorner.avi:
A terrible job at one of the last twisties. I ended up on the right hand side of the road on a left turning corner. very scary.

Leaving_Tuakau.avi:
Since the shaking is really bad here a little clip of the bikes taking off from our stop just past the tuakau bridge.

smallcorner.avi:
just a little corner clip

nigh_unwatchable_60s.avi
erm. just thought Id try it. some straight bits some corners. 60secs of it

Kiwibikers_HOO.avi
Ahoy me maties. It seems Ive stumbled upon a gaggle of Kiwibikers.

Crash.avi
I think it was Rickster who had a little mishap. I missed the end of it unfortuantly. heres what I got. And for the record. I didnt crash I was just keen to stop super quick to see if ricksta was ok. I just did a bad job of it

**pyrocam** · 14th May 2005, 17:38

dont worry buddy. good learning tool

Im glad your ok though

**Waylander** · 14th May 2005, 17:47

Just saw the crash vid. I reckon you did pretty good Ricksta. Least it didn't look like you panicked and you managed to slow it down quite a bit before you hit.

Hey what encoder are you using for the avi files? (Saves me a couple of hours just downloading codecs at random).

NVM: used Gspot and it says it's DivX 5

**sparrow_34** · 14th May 2005, 18:00

Jeez guys, you are really rolling the dice especially on left handers. Look after yourselves and ride at a safe pace, especially if you don't know the road. Glad you are all ok and in one piece.

**Waylander** · 14th May 2005, 18:02

Whos is the cruiser in the last pic? Bloody nice lookin.

**aff-man** · 14th May 2005, 18:10

baaa typical noob mistake . If you continue breaking you will end up in the bank..... ease off the breaks and tip her in again. Almost went into a bank a couple of weeks ago up north. Front wheel hit a small bump.. popped the bike up and instead of a smooth corner i found myself heading for a cliff... at speed

.

Good video though

**aff-man** · 14th May 2005, 18:11

p.s. not enough sky shots/ ground shots. Gotta get that bike on one wheel.... front or back

Mate, make sure you watch out for gravel patches next time. It was only minor damages and most important you were OK. The funny thing was, only 5 mins before you hit the dust, I was chatting with one of the riders about how no one have had an accident yet.

At the end of that Crash vid was that me going around the corner - I cant recall where it was

Re Crash video. Rickster, you really have to slow down until you get more riding experience in. So that you'll learn to lean more and control the bike better, or you will be another MIA waiting to happen. Sorry to be hash, but pushing your limits so hard as to run off / ride into another lane is NOT on. You are just waiting for a time when there is a car coming the other way.

It is never a good idea to be on the other side of the road, for whatever reason.

And Rickster.... have you got proper boots and riding trouser yet?

keep it safe.... its for your own good.
