I really enjoy your vids. I'm saving up for a camera and hope to have one by next summer. Unfortunately, it probably won't be long before calgary starts putting down the gravel again. It also seems that it takes longer to clean it up every year.

@vac0002 Very true, I live on hill and our alley is still horrible from last winter. They never even bothered cleaning it this year.

Unreal vids :) ye deserce waaaaay more subs and views tho for the quality of your vids.. Do you drive a car for the most part of the year? Or more so ride your bike ? Just wondering.

[R1Chronicles]

@IIxSmgYxII It turns out to be about half and half, A couple of warm months riding and about 4-6 months of cold riding. In calgary we can get late winters but it can be cold riding, I won't put my bike away until the snow comes ... :)

@CBRMotors I would like to actually run 6 camara's, I'm not too sure if I want to edit 6 streams though ... :)

@yamahammer08 I grew up on yami's so a little prejudiced there, but I do love the style of the R1. Busa's, Kawz's, CB's all beautiful bikes these days and I would ride any of them happily.

Most of the riding I get in these days is a ride to work in the rain, managed to sneak in behind the clouds last weekend so got her out on the highways, was nice. Hoping for a nice July.

Beautiful bike man, I love my kawi zx6r, but I've always liked the yamahas a little more. Hope to move up to an R1 here in the next couple years.

I guess it's true what they say, Canadians really are polite. You wave at pretty much everyone haha Around here it's hard to get even some of the bikers to wave back...

Must suck tho, this late in the year before getting your first ride in.
