09-28-08 SHAPITO Malibu Canyon Ride

Honda CBR600F4i following a Kawasaki KLR650, then following a pair of Yamaha R6s. I am using a camera-mount stabilizer in this clip. Still can't run away from the fact that it is a Canon SD1100is, that was not made to do this. A real camera would SURELY get rid of some of that vibration.

I did... a few times

this bike redlines at 14k, so I like to stay at about 7 or 8 when I cruise; it allows for engine-braking and bursts of acceleration, when I want them

How come you never shift gears?

I wish

the problem is the digital STILL camera that I was using for the vid

with a normal DV camcorder, it was SSSSSMMOOOOTTTHH

[SHAPITOriders]

it's a solid bike, all around

it may have a buzzing sound coming from the engine - this is normal; the tentioner often needs to be replaced ($60part + 1hr labor)

they are also stunted often, so look for busted fork seals and damage
