You have cool vids.

Great, great video, original ending and good length! I want to ride in that awesome highway! I love desert roads!
I would have liked the video even more if there was no music. The music is ok;
But the sound of the wind and the howling of the Ninja engine are much better in my opinion!

I haven't ridden in two weeks, thanks to the shitty Cincinnati weather, and now I want to move out west even more. Good vid.

I called my mom in Chicago today. First thing she said...Don't be a smart@$$. Not sure where she got that from

It was 32* this morn with a high of 48. I think she's ready to move.

I read some of your comments for your vids......so you use a Go Pro Hero?

I've been having a hard time deciding on a bike cam.

I usually use my pinky as a placeholder...but whatever you like is what you should do. 2 fingers is bogus in my opinion with full levers.

Rodsct · 10-11-2009, 03:41 AM

Seems like it does rather well on the wind noise.

Crazy Cat · 10-11-2009, 08:10 AM

Wow, cool!

05Carbon636 · 10-11-2009, 09:04 AM

oh yea most definetly on the full levers. but its what im used too. the stunt bike has broken " shorty " levers and im on it quite a bit. so. i love your banner grade videos

After you said that, I wondered which would be better so you made me go out for a ride.

I tried using 2 fingers and for me that was uncomfortable. My joints didn't make it easy. Definately all fingers although for the front brake, one finger most of the time. Go figure.

It probably has something to do with the amount of precision the clutch demands while riding hard, as opposed to the brake which while it still demands some precision...it's not connected to the engine or anything so it's easier? Just my 2 cents =)

said it before Nick your videos are the best i have seen, and choice of music plus the actual cameramanship, I love em, and watch them pretty fequently.

05Carbon636 · 10-13-2009, 09:58 AM

i use 2 for the front brake and 2 for the clutch.. just kinda grown accustom to it i guess..
when i first started riding i used all four on both..

on another note my stand-ups are getting amazing!!!! went from 400-500 foot sit downs to quarter milers on the stand up =) woo0t woo0t!! best feeling in the world

stagger stance!!
