Very cool!! thanks wavex[up]

That video was bad ass!

How did you mount your camera on the front and rear wheel?

And I was going to ask who the old lady was you were riding with until he started splitting cars! Got balls! The trucks in Texas don't take too kindly to that!

Nice vid! Looks like a blast on that road.

Oh yeah! sweet vid.. you spoiled cali boys & your perfect weather.. we have rain with wet leaves on our roads here in oregon now[sad]

Do enjoy though, we'll live vicariously!

[wavex]

Thanks guys :)


netty2424: that "old lady" can take anyone on the track... he does ride mellow on the streets tho (that's why I usually stay behind him, so stay alive :)).

Thanks for the mount pics. I have a gopro and have hesitated sticking them on the side of the bike. Just need to do it and forget about it.

I was kidding about your buddy. It's apparent he has riding ability.

Thanks again for the pics. [up]

Well I replaced the original mount's double sided tape with professional 3M super strong double sided tape (applied after cleaning areas with rubbing alcohol).

The Contour mounts are awesome and so easy to use... got the camera locally for $138.00.

Nice vid man! Your friend looks SUPER stiff when riding. Tell him to loosen up and MOVE alittle on his bike! :)

Any concern it'll pull paint off swing arm when you remove it? Or have you removed them since you attached them?

How'd you get it so cheap. That's low. Nice grab!

Local store: http://www.gearcoop.com/Contour-ContourHD-1080p-Helmet-Camera/dp/B002QGSYZ4

Or Amazon :)

About the mount, I don't plan on taking it off, but if I do I'll go on the ride to heat it up, and then remove it slowly.

[netty2424]

Wow that's cheap! Thanks for the link! I like that mount you can wrap around the fork.

Thanks!

[Loki]

I will worry about your friend! :P Haha

[thrstrmech]

you spoiled cali boys & your perfect weather

the rest of you just need to move to SoCal and you'll get over the jealousy:D:D:D

nice video[up][up][up]

[wavex]

lol @ Loki


On a side note: it's sad to know that the majority of ppl lack the knowledge of how awesome riding a Buell in the twisties is.

I've ridden my share of bikes of different types and f*ck there's nothing better than an XB on a tight twisty road.

Great video, wish we had roads like that around here.

[beaterbaja]

Nice video man! Im in San Fran for the week for work, every time I see these people lane splitting it makes me cringe a little, hoping for the best, they cut it real damn close too! Ride safe bud[up]

[thrstrmech]

I split lanes during traffic only to keep the air flow across the engine, but not like the "crotch rockets" that do it at 80+ on the freeway...
should have seen some of the stunts they've pulled in San Diego, i.e.,...socalriders.com, but looks like the site has been suspended though. they had videos posted of guys surfing their bikes, riding wheelies, and capturing riders side by side, only to have another reach over and hit the kill switch at highway speeds...loads of laughs there, not. idiots like them give the rest of us riders a bad rap[down]

[wavex]

I believe splitting lanes can be done safely, and it's another great reason to own a 2 wheeler. I was born and raised in France and now live in LA... to me splitting lanes is part of riding...
