Title: Tried another mounting spot for the GoPro = video of a rollercoaster of a road
Post by: lethe on June 11, 2012, 04:33:55 PM
So here's the spot I decided to try.
Being right next to the throttle bodies, it makes the bike sound like either the engine is about to blow up or that I did a dry clutch conversion.  [cheeky]

Quick video of a tight left hand turn for those that don't want to watch a long video

So then I did River Road on the Duc, previously had only run down it with the KTM.
Purposely didn't catch air on the "jumps" on the Monster though.  [laugh]

I'm going to see if I can find a spot on the KTM to get a similar shot now

I'll carry more speed over the rises on that and get the tires off the ground. The surface is crowned otherwise I would've tried on the Duc too
