I am on my way to court to Negotiate some tickets.
I am trying a much shorter 05-10 minute format so my viewer will be happier.

I visited Tampa a decade ago and it looks gorgeous at this time of year compared to grey and blustery England - how are gonna cope when the heat & humidity of summer kicks in?

Watched the first vid - not sure of my bearings after all the twists & turns but did you finish near Hidden River Parkway? And it took me back when I first got my storm and getting to know the gearing & compression coming up to tight corners - very different after a revvy 600 UJM.

that motorcycle cop in your "i got a ticket" video sounded like an angry little elf. I bet he has a small man complex.

and was that can of tuna (katana) you were on, that gauge clusters looks exactly like a pre 98, I used to ride a 1990 600.

That was not near hidden river parkway at all, but fun fact I Used to work not even 1/4 mile from hidden river at my last job lol.

Ahem, that was "Longshot" my first bike. She was a 94 Katana so good eye mister.

For summer whew I have hot weather gear. I started riding last june so I have an idea what it will be like.

welcome to the forum.bike sounds great.
im here in largo,fl we gotta meet up and ride.

Sounds like a good Idea. Are you on tampasportbikes.com? we meet every week.

no,didnt even know it existed.i only know of a couple of meets,and most times im working.i will check out the site.i should be doing bike night here in st.pete on wed

Oh yah man there are a ton of us. Trident00 is on there too. Check out this page

Thats my website btw

ok,sweet im assuming your user name on the site is the same as on here.

yes sir

im trying to join but it wont let me,keeps saying they dont allow spammers :eek:

Hmm maybe you got the verification code wrong? or your email address is not acceptable. Never heard that problem before.

this sucks,i did everything like any other site im on.i will try differnt email i guess.

I just talked to the admin he says that can happen b/c of username or IP or email addy. what username did you try and who is your email provider?

i put saige,and its gmail,but i used a yahoo email too.it all says the same thing :(

ok he says it is probably IP. if you are at work you might be in an IP range that has been blocked. You may try from a cellphone or another ISPs connection.

im at home,but i will try on my other computer or ipod,maybe from phone.i will try that way.

yah it has to be another IP address so anything connected to your home IP wont work.

someone in your address range was a spammer lol you have a dickhead neighbor

Lol I hope not,it's my router,I have wireless in my house,maybe my comp has something in it hmmmmmm

NO someone in the range of IP addresses you ISP gave you was a spammer. You were just unlucky to be assigned in that range this time :-(

hmmmmm i will figure it out.i hope,we will see here in couple of mins

welcome, the sound quality is pretty good in your vids, from the shadow it looks like youre using a go pro for your vids, hd version or just the standard one? i find with my non hd go pro i get alot of wind noise and it takes away from the sound of the bike quite a bit

^^Same here, geekonamc, did you do anything to the mic on your GoPro?

I use a seperate mic setup.
it is a Go Pro HD typically mounted on top of my helmet.
I use cyberlink to edit and remove the go pro sound (sometimes I lower it and use the go pro source for background noise) and place in the voice recorder audio.
I use badaboom and my nvidia card to convert the video also so it is converted 2 or 3 times. the source video is actually very high quality.
I source in R2 mode 1280*720

I am bored at home sick so maybe I will make a video on the setup in a second.

Here is a link on my set up.

That's creepy. A video of the forum linked to the same thread that it's videoing. I hear Rod Serling somewhere...

haha surreal right?

So what brought you to the Superhawk? Was it a love at first sight or an acquired taste after much research and deliberation... or did it just eat your Katana for breakfast so you figured "what the heck, I'll give this a shot"?

And yes, I'm putting thought words in.

Welcome, BTW- there's a lot of other moto geeks around here with tons of info on the VTR
