Love this bike RIP longshot.

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.

Alright I know these are pathetic twists and I took em like a *****, but I am just not used to the new bike yet.

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.

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

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

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.

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
