you think you are fast. don't u?

[seppes]

@dzopsi i did a long time ago.... now i don't even ride on the street, cause it's too dangerous. only at the track.

[dumbenoughou812]

Where are you riding at? Looks almost like Highway 18 in SoCal. Anyways, Good PUBLIC ROAD riding, I run my cat pretty much the same. Expecially with the body shift considering the damn near 500 lbs I'm sitting on. Keep it up and f the haters.

[Pittimus84]

dude what did you use to mount that?

[bforth18]

nice riding,like the camera angle but a little higher would be good.+1

[PosiFaith2784]

you guys are so clueless.... this guy knows his shit, hes riding SMART, remember street riding is totally different than track riding. let me offer some assistance to you other morons. when you pull your head out of your ass slow down on the street. its a public street with millions of variables none of which are in your favor. SEPPES Rock that shit. good solid street riding.

[cheekalover]

this guy cant ride for shit lol i can do corner quicker then them and get my knee down lol what a load off crap they need to train proper 1st i do track days and this is faster then what they can do. STOP HANGING YOUR WHOLE BODY OF THE BIKE.

[seppes]

hahahaha! you should start a motorbike school. you'll have LOTS of customers... *wink-wink*

[fre2fly]

dont know where u ride m8 but you really cant go full speed, knee down everywhere on public roads

[joker1180]

well i think you should post a vid on how to put it down. Because need to see your skill that you have built up in all of your years of riding.

[tygnoju]

U got wrong positin during corners. Even on the youtube U can see how to do it right...

[seppes]

yeah, i know. troy bayliss and troy corser also have "wrong position during corners" too. *thumbsup*

[tygnoju]

I'm not sure if this comparision is correct... U've mentioned Troy - he hang whole body off the bike (head, arms, body, ass), U hang only ass off (U ride twisted)... or it's just the camera...

[afghaniGoo]

hahaha^ dont talk to the king like that.

[ES13Raven]

You should do more videos with this camera angle :)

[seppes]

yeah, i should...i should raise the camera higher too, so you can see the road ahead. thanks!

[RAM12901]

What is the name of that tune in the beginning? its catchy....

[seppes]

i dont' remember... aphex twin, i think.

[wetopmsp]

Gostei muito deste video e da trilha sonora. Seria muito difícil colocar esta camera na frente da moto voltada para você? Parabéns!!!

[surfdirtyjerz]

that is sick riding and i love that angle...im getting a bike this month, and i was wondering if you could tell me where i could get a camera mount like that?

[seppes]

i made it.

[glumGlumm]

so thats how they do it dam im loving this videos

i cant wait to get a bike

[locketekk]

Great video man! Nice way of filming it. Deffently one of my Favorite vids. By the way witch road are you driving on (where is the video taken) ?

[seppes]

mosquito ridge road in california's sierra nevadas.

[Exzite]

How would you compare the cat to an F4i? I have an aging (but well loved) cat, a 99, and eventually I'd like to upgrade to something newer and fuel injected, but Yamaha refuses to update the cat. I tested an r6, riding position isn't really practical for day-to-day stuff. Litrebikes are out for me, still working up to riding the 600s to their limits.

[seppes]

the f4i is comparable. it's a little bit faster than the t'kitty in a straight line.  it's FI.

[JOSEPHRIVERS]

that bike is still my favorite all arounder...sure there are faster bikes...not by much however...but all around...the balance, power and riding position are excellent...it just fits me...and going fast is effortless...

[1235kjd]

hey man.. that looks sweet!! im actually thinking of buying a bike and learning to ride, what kind of bike would u reccomend i start on?? im looking into newer bikes like ZZR250, YZF600R, CBR600F4i. i just dont want something that if i rip on the throatle i will flip over if u no what i mean.. anyways dude any suggestions? and i also want to buy a sport bike, i like the look and sounds off the cbr600f4i and the yzf600r

[seppes]

i started small on a EX250 (250 ninja). rode that for a year on the street. i'd also been riding dirtbikes for 8 years prior as well.

[1235kjd]

so if u baught like a 2006 Kawasaki ZZR250 it would be perfect for me to start out on.. what if i was doing about 40 kmph and i just twisted the throtal as fast as i could, is there enough power in a 250 to get the front wheel up? and is there enough power in a 250 to do a wheelie?

[seppes]

at 40mph, you'd probably need to clutch it up to get the front end up. but at slower speeds in first gear, yeah, you can wheelie a 250, no prob.

starting small is the best way to learn...you WILL crash.

[1235kjd]

do u have msn or something, id love to ask more questions if ur cool with it

[seppes]

no, i don't.

[1235kjd]

k, i dont plan on doing wheelies or anything, i just want something that looks nice and wont flip on me when i crank it lol, but yea this guy told me once that theres 2 kind of bikers, those who have droped there bike and those who have yet to drope there bike. but yeah so the ZZR250 would be perfect for me,

[1235kjd]

like i dont plan on going fast thru corners or anything, i just want one cuz i love them.. i would be ver y cautious on a bike. so any tips or anything on buy and riding a bike u can give me?

[Kalimor]

what about a suzuki katana 600? would that be a good starter bike? i just want something that if i pull the throatle doing like 60 that i wont flip it

[1235kjd]

what about a suzuki katana 600? would that be a good starter bike? i just want something that if i pull the throatle doing like 60 that i wont flip it

[worsh99]

get a 600... fuck a katana fuckin weak w/ that spoiler. 600rr R6 zx6r will do fine for you just find people to ride w/, listen to what they have to say and just dont rush into anything. learn from other peoples mistakes not urs. respect ur bike and it will respect you, when u feel to comfortable on it thats when you go down.

[xsssom]

exactly (walked away on my feet)

[KlerkKant]

i like your camera set up. can you post a link to a picture of it- or email one to me. i think i have an idea...

-KK

[seppes]

don't have a pic. it's a broomstick mounted through passenger peg with a bullet cam at the end of it.

[kineticmind]

Had a 600R once, was fun while it lasted...but there are much better bikes out there. The Thundercat just isn't customizable enough...damn carbs wouldn't allow for a power commander & alternate fuel mapping. I went from the 600R to a Suzuki GSX-1000R (much, MUCH more power) and will never look back. Just play it safe if you make an extreme upgrade like this...the liter bikes pack a whole lot more torque than your Thundercat. Either way, ride safe.

[seppes]

yeah, i've been riding a looong time now. i've ridden damn near everything there is to ride (including 03, 04, 05, and 06 G1k's). hehe. thanks for the input though...

and for an update... that bike was actually stolen then recovered 4 months later...THEN, i high-sided it at the track at about 100mph... it caught on fire. BUT...i rebuilt it. finished it last week, as a matter of fact. it's a streetfighter now with protapers and all. :D

[seppes]

my last bike before the t'cat was a liter bike. i've been riding a LOOOONG time...but thanks for the comment :D

[BelovedSpear]

Ah..the 600R is such a fine ride. I loves mine to death. Keep safe...

[ivaninsc]

great vid man. wheres that soundtrack from?

[hieule408]

your leather too loose on you

look like newbie lean period (no excuse)

try to hard to show off...

squid rider alert... delete this video for good; shame on you

[seppes]

thanks for the kind words!

[250ninja]

it's not THAT bad. this one is way worse: http://youtube.com/watch?v=RLx­1zQQQg94&search=knee%20draggin­g

[250ninja]

lean WITH the bike. imagine kissing the mirror on the side you're turning

[seppes]

huh? you're supposed to hang off on the inside... i've been riding a long time. don't mess with me, buddy. :D

usually, if i'm REALLY crankin it up, i'm looking UNDER the mirror. this video was just kinda cruisin, so i wasn't hangin off much.

[250ninja]

ok, just sort kinda cruisin, but it's like most of your weight (other than the butt) is being positioned away from the turn, it looks like you're fighting the turn

[seppes]

haha!  yeah, actually, after seeing this vid, i now lean a LOT farther in. that's the cool thing about filming yourself...you can see you mistakes and stuff... here's a more recent pic of me in action (taken last weekend). http://pashnit.com/forum/showp­ost.php?p=72178&postcount=25

now, i don't even have to lean the bike when i turn. haha! what's funny is that it was a 25mph corner...i was doing about 70...even with that lean angle. :D

[250ninja]

oh yeah, way good
