GD Lean over some more. Baby needs some texture.

Give it up track-boy-wanna-be...

No reason to push it on the streets - having been to a track you should be the first to point that out. Nothing like a safe, spirited ride through some twisties.

It doesn't look like it in the video...........but I just got new Qualifiers a week ago (damn screws) and there isn't a chicken strip left on the rear tire.

Very cool foxy

Can you move the camera around to shoot at any any angle or position? You forget how much the suspension works up and down till you see it on video. +1 on the New Mexico scenery in the background....is that the Organ Mountains?

Anyways..cool stuff man

RED

Yep. It's the Organ Mountains that grace the background in many of my photo's. The video was shot on the other side of the mountains. It's the road that you take to enter Aguirre Springs Hiking area.

I missed it.... where was your "oh s*it moment" ? Love the quality of the camera, Fox!

It's right at the end. You can see me coming up to a turn and the camera starts shaking violently. My rear was skipping a bit because I was on the brakes. I was coming up to the corner and noticed a hell of a lot of gravel. So I braked hard, keeping the bike straight, then went around the gravel.

Looks good, if you don't mind me asking how much did that run you for the camera and mount? Looks like a fun road too!

I just used the same Canon A630 digital camera that I use to take pictures of my bike. I bought a aluminum camera bracket at best buy, drilled some holes in it, and mounted it to the swingarm where the spools are supposed to go.

Can you upload it to photobucket or something? I'd love to see it, however youtube is blocked at work.

I can, but with the stupid restrictors they put on here even when I get around it, only about 5 % of the videos I get on work. And yours isn't one of them.

Cool vid man and I would love to ride that road. We have twisties here in OH, but none with a backgroud like that.

Oh Fox, you can disregard I finally got a chance to look at it on a computer not at work. Very nice, I'm contemplating getting one for the gas tank. And a video camera since I don't have one :) Anyhow, roads look like fun out there. Later

^^ They would be fun if New Mexico would sweep their roads from all the gravel, and maybe repave them every once and a while. That road would be KILLER if it was fresh tarmac, but it was so rough, I'm impressed the camera didn't shake itself off.

Next video will be the Gila mountains, with the entire 30 miles stretch of twisties IN the mountains.........hopefully in HD (yep, a mini-HD camera).
