Well, as usual a thread turns into some extra entertainment. Would you believe I got my first ever red rep the whole time I have been online with KB.
Do I need to say who?
Ok, firstly thanks for those of you I've ridden with who will vouch for my "careful" "considerate" driving. It's always a pleasure riding with you whenever we can.
Some really good comments here.
Main reason for the vid?
I believe the GSX1400 is one of the most underated modern sports tourers on the planet. Over and over again I have considered selling her and maybe getting something sportier but quite frankly it is probably one of the best all round sports tourers you could get your hands on. The vid was to show you it's awesome attributes.
Now, I was not riding anywhere near 100% taking into account the road conditions and traffic. Quick....yes but mad, certainly not. I like to come home from a ride. The video camera angle may show some "dum" moments, I can assure you they were all made with careful calculations regarding velocity and speed and road conditions. I used to ride a hell of a lot faster and harder than that.
To some, they will appear crazy to others boring just as this thread has pointed out.
Suspensions is perfect for me. The camera however is hard to keep still on a moving bike, a Panasonic Min DV the older bigger ones, with no image stabiliser.
Simple answer to the points made of stupid is that you had to be there. All manouevres were made in complete safety with plenty of room for error and you just really had to be there before you can judge.
Quick point for all the rock throwers. You break the law just once and you have broken the law period. You are just as guilty as I am in regard to the letter of the law. So, if you have never broken the law, judge away.
Cheers for the posts peeps
