  1. New battery still no crank 23 May 2012 23:35 [image: View Post]karhawk, on 23 May 2012 - 06:18 PM, said: [image: View Post]YoshiHNS, on 23 May 2012 - 06:01 PM, said: Pull it up next to your car and use it to give it a jump. Then worry about a new battery. Yeah…
  2. Camera Mount (6th gen) 17 May 2012 18:25 I'm surprised that the video wasn't jumpy since the only thing smoothing out the bumps was the camera mount and the tire. Well done. A good camera handles that. :)
  3. VFR ride to Sierra@Tahoe 21 Apr 2012 00:48 Post pics or it didn't happen lad. That's the rules... :ph34r:
  4. Bay Area Unite! 8 Apr 2012 05:42 That ride is NOT a 'slow pace'. Leaving Newark at 9:45 and hitting those five bridges by nightfall is at least six hours of very aggressive riding. The page in that link says ' An Intermediate to Advanced level of skill…

  8. Camera Reviews............ 29 Jan 2012 02:10 I just bought a Contour ROAM (for 25% of what a GoPro Hero2 would cost me), so the GoPro would have to be 4x better to be worth the money. The ROAM has one big advantage over my other vid camera (a Tachyon XC) - it is…

  10. Sport riding while staying seated 27 Jan 2012 17:17 I'll throw in my oldeguy comment to this interesting topic. I've done a bit of roadracing, and can say with some confidence that on a dry track the only way to get the ultimate speed is to get your ass off the seat. You…
  11. SPEED channel rider education 29 Dec 2011 23:57 I happened to catch that particular scene - and the show (Stuntbusters) was instantly off of my 'watch' list.
  12. ContourROAM video cam for $89 shipped (SOLD OUT) 22 Dec 2011 05:02 Got mine yesterday, just gotta pickup the Micro SD card and I'll add it to my Tachyon XC. The ROAM is definitely easier to use. The best feature is the 'one touch' turn on/record.

  15. Handlebar risers for an '86 VFR750 13 Oct 2011 19:29 Thanks guys. I'm looking at the LSL/Speigler kit, as it just replaces the existing clipons at the top of the forks with the mounts for the standard handlebar - no drilling involved. I'm thinking I might be okay with a…
  16. Handlebar risers for an '86 VFR750 13 Oct 2011 04:20 I'm gettin' old, and while the riding position on my '86 VFR is comfortable enough to ride the bike all day without pain, I find it difficult to do that if the roads are both twisty and bumpy. Problem is my neck gets…
  17. my vfr project frankenVIXXER :D 3 Oct 2011 03:41 Hoping for a full recovery and the grand finale of BitsaVixxer!
  18. Haven't ridden in years, please help. 26 Sep 2011 01:05 I'm not an expert; but my understanding is that the R/R cannot properly rectify and regulate voltage if the stator is not supplying a 'balanced' 3-phase voltage. If you know that the resistance is out of spec on the…
  19. GoPro! Highway 36 Trailer 22 Sep 2011 15:03 Very nicely done lad! I wish I had the patience to do that.
