MO-O on VFR motorcycle

Westward run on Missouri O on a VFR800.
Over the yellow at 8:10 was to avoid a bad spot in the pavement that doesn't show up in the video. BTW luggage does adversly effect the handling of a motorcycle, especially strapping on a set of golf clubs .

Great sound, what pipes? Road's brokenup, you're a hero! Ride Italy sometime, even if it's a rental, Tuscany is awesome. In video: work on yr positioning-use lane width more. Apex right handers. Enter left handrs way further out, move to right edge to see further thru, then apex to Center Line as curve opens -- sat on center line you gonna collect oncoming cars, you re-adjusted your l/hand line couple times for this reason. Love it tho. Have to vid my ride for learning. Good one Jeff! Ciao

Stock pipes, most of the sound is from the air box. It looks like I'm left since the camera is looking right to left a bit, camera is on the right side of the bike since the mount for the GPS is on the left.

Nice,

I see you have managed to evade the you-tube video-pixellator (could you tell us your secret of success?) great quality video!

Straight through pipes sound nicer on the VFR though! :D

Don't know if it was the "trick" or not but saved it as 320*240 15fps so they would not down sample as much.

Nice vid. Thanks for no goofy soundtrack ruining that awesome VFR music! I have a white 2006 and listening is ALMOST as good as riding! Nice job dealing with some less than ideal road surfaces around those corners.

Good video. Very little wind noise, great capture of engine sounds and excellent view of road as well as gauges. Looks like you have some nice, twisty roads to play around on in your area! Try to be a little smoother with your inputs (throttle application, steering inputs). Ride safe. Thanks for sharing this vid...enjoyed it.

blue light is the high-beam.

I wondered the same thing.

[CorneliusFractogram]

Skills.

[cb750boldor]

Nice vid! What is the blue light in the top right?

[mickb69]

good roads you have over there, the sound quality of the video is good too, VFRs are awesome, i have a '99

[JosephDeMato]

what kind of camera mount are you using? I bought that left over 2007 that I talked about under name (pilot9r). I want to get a good mount, and would like to get this exact dash view you have.

Thank you for NOT adding a soundtrack!!  Congrats on the bike and good luck with her!!!

[Pilot9r]

I might be picking up a left over , 0 miles, 2007 25th anniversary color for 7600 this week. I just sold a high mileage zx9r....hope I am not let down with the loss of power...but its more practical, comfortable, and reliable.

amen

@zippyfred are you a retard? you never apply your brakes while applying throttle. you don't do that in a car or bike. trail brake maybe if you're riding that hard, but you're doing nothing but wearing out your front brake faster if you apply gas and brake at same time. don't tell people what to do if you haven't a clue.
