SVs - good if you're a fooking midget. Oh sorry - "little people" (?). They never could push my buttons with the amount of juice you can get out of one.

Regardless, I could ask where Diamonddog was 10 years ago when the rest of the world was already learning that SVs were grenading/siezing under the influence of wheelie ... Pointless.

Can't weelie on my SD - 'cause it has wheelie bars and the polished extended swingarm.

Im heading to watch some raceing today so will have the gobro on and will hopefully have some wheelie action on an actual duke Only thing is a good mounting spot with the tank not being well suited for it and on long trips does my neck in on my helmet.

Red ZX do you run the camera with the open back on you gopro or the waterproof cover for the best sound?

RED ZX

RED ZX

2012-09-28 20:30:00 UTC

The open back is better for sound but can suffer from a lot of wind noise. I will be getting a wind-jammer for it (like the big fuzzy thing on boom microphones).
As a temp fix you can cut up a sponge and fix it to the open door on the inside. apparently it will cut a fair amount of wind noise but still let the good sound through.

I am plagued with wind noise at the moment.

Pedbot is really fun to watch, as well as his power wheelies on exit he often has the rear sliding.

There were some awesome slow motion shots of him leaving the penultimate corner at Jerez a few years ago. Using every inch of the curb, rear sliding and front lifting. That is a stupidly fast corner.


For the record, I really like the picture of Viking's power wheelie. It's not that high but the whole picture says commitment.
