    GoPro ... Which mounting locations work? Which don't?

    Thanks for the info about the editing software as I can't seem to get my head around Premiere Pro, too many years of editing still images I seem to have drawn a blank with video. I also no longer use the GoPro mounted to the top of the screens as at anything even nearing 60 MPH both screens...

    GoPro ... Which mounting locations work? Which don't?

    I love rear facing footage especially with the new 170 Degree GoPro, The Hel Cam up front is fantastic but must be connected to a Video Recorder in the tank bag which cost me $2700 and no better than the GoPro and much harder to edit. All up I use 6 GoPros mounted on the swing arm, front...

    Need Point and Shoot Advice

    To Va Rider Sounds like you are a bit upset over nothing, I took my time and gave you a referred opinion from friends of mine and you jump down my throat, pray tell why. You want to see my setup for caving in New Guinea. [/IMG] I have learned my lesson.

    Need Point and Shoot Advice

    There is a lot more to low light photography. I use a Canon IDMKIV with an f/4 lens ($12,000USD +) and it works just fine in caves. Look for IS, pixel density and flash quality plus about 7 more factors. My suggestion is get on camera forums and talk to the pros of which I am one of...

    Suspension setups

    So very true. Many folk spend their life on bikes never knowing what a well set up suspension feels like, it offers the confidence that takes the question mark out of riding and most importantly, with training and experience, you will be able to ride your machine very close to the limits and...

    whats everyones thought on kevlar jeans

    I have 8 riding suits and here is my opinion. 1) If you are going riding in the heat, perforated 1 piece leather suits. 2) If you have money to waste, Kevlar! Kevlar burns are horrible and they offer little or no impact protection. 3-5) Moto Dry, Waterproof with CE armor and added back...

    Clunky shifting, missed shifts

    My FZ1 2003 Bee is up in the 170,000s Kilometers and I hardly use the clutch for upshifting and frequently do clutchless downshifting with no problems at all. I am on the original clutch and I treat it like my wife, many riders thrash their clutch (wheelie lovers stuff theirs religiously)...

    Suspension setups

    Sorry to upset your parade but after 24 years of racing, my suggestion is to search around the pits and find a suspension specialist and marry him. Handling on "fast" bikes is in the realms of witches, a dark art that few riders understand but a good suspension specialist is a joy to behold...

    The tale of a Bee..

    My advice after having 64 bikes is, when your bike goes in bring a good book a video cam a tripod set them up start filming and reading and it is amazing how few mistakes the mechanics make. PS I always wear my uniform when doing this, I think the color blue makes them more careful with your...
