how many time you speeded up video

[mxracer95x]

@MrNewyork1975 It's been a while but I think it varies. Some parts may be at actual speed and some of the boring parts might be 4x or 6x.

I have a question. Do the helmet screen on the inside get fog that it cause by breathing?

[mxracer95x]

Fogging is a problem and not so much from breathing but just because the air is so damp. A NEW anti-fog shield usually prevents fogging, or a good anti-fogging solution (like Rain-X).

Man If I had to face that much traffic every morning Id sleep at work! nice riding haow long haave you been riding? what brand of tires do you trust your life to in the rain?

[mxracer95x]

15 years, 300,000 miles.

I use Dunlop Qualifiers.

@IBMills24I in california it is completely legal to lane split you prick... it is safer for the rider to lane split for many reasons. first lane splitting was aloud because air cooled bikes would over heat, but now most bikes are liquid cooled, but could you imagine what would happen to someone on a motorcycle was hit by some idiot driving a car? they have no protection, but if they where lane splitting no one could hit them from behind and if you are on the double yellow cars can't change lanes

you are the man. right now in my riding i wouldnt ride inn the rain let alone ride in the rain for as long as you did and splitting cars. guess thats what experience does. nice

[jharms1994]

@godrilla I am currently looking at a 2009 gs500f which is "new" and is air cooled, in my opinion this is the best beginner bike on the market. The reason people want air cooled bikes is for better performance on the track or having to sit in traffic. So I would say go for it, that sounds like a great deal for 2k.

[godrilla]

@jharms1994 I'm about to buy a 2006 suzuki gs500f with only 4350 miles, for 2k!!!

But.........it's AIR COOLED. I'm learning how to ride....is this a good deal or not, I didn't know that bike was an air cooled engine until your post. sooo....buy it or look for a liquid cooled one?

[braceyoself777]

Be safe out there man, nice control but be aware, cagers driving in the rain get even more stupid! Looking at your tags, you are riding an R1 right?

[IBMills24I]

You sir are an asshole...just because your in a motorcycle doesn't five you the right to right in the middle like that you prick

[redneck500]
