First GoPro Ride!

Check it out! -Drew

sounds like an F1 car going through the gears.

Nice video!  I'm jealous, I soooo want one of those cameras!  I like the perspective from the right side....looks awesome!  Sounds good too!

The cans have a 3/4 gut and shortened about 5"

You can kinda tell in this picture.

Nice work... Have you tryed the different setting Wide/narrow/etc. (it's in the manual).

Off topic ....... With your foot that far forward, dragging your toe as a feeler could result in a foot getting sucked under the peg(if you've been doing this a long time with no problems......... Great.......... Still can happen).

I liked the sound as well, had a nice throaty sound..........

I'm slowly realizing how much of a bad habit that toe is.  Until the camera, I had no idea how much lean I was wasting with my big feet but thankfully I have never had my foot come off the peg.

Funny how the "fish eye" lens when the cam is mounted directly behind the rider, makes you look like you are riding a cruiser with feet forward.  LOL

I should do some shots on myself to see what I might find I'm doing wrong.... Good tool for learning.

Good Lord, man. Get those toes up! I have big Ol feet as well, so I feel your pain. Try this. Put your toes at the farthest point of the peg, then turn your ankle in towards the bike so your foot looks/feels like its at 45 degrees rather than parallel. I had an instructor at one of my track days show me this technique, and it works great. It really gives you the leverage to push off when hustling around the seat.

On a side note, your exhaust has officially inspired me to go yank my silencers back out. Screw the neighbors, lol.

I feel that at the moment I can make it loud when I want it loud and quiet when I want it quiet.  Idk how much different the shortening made, but I like it.

yeah, that foot position is going to hurt you bad one day. I have been doing track days for more years than I care to admit (not on the viffer  mind you)  The easiest way as others have mentioned is to move your feet way back on the pegs so that only your toes and the balls of your feet are resting on the peg. Then force your heels against the heelguard, it will feel odd at first, but after a bit, it will become natural to you. No matter what bike I ride now, I keep my feet up and parallel to the bike just from "muscle memory".
Same thing about your body positioning, you have the right idea, but a track school session would really help you out a lot. Don't take that the wrong way, lol, most riders never move their butts off of the seat when cornering.

Did that start from Base Housing by any chance?

WOW.  

Yup, base housing down 134 round towards commander Shepard

Nice work, I really have to look into modifying my exhaust.

It's a night and day difference  between a stock and even slightly modified exhaust...
