Riding like an ***** on Xmas Eve

[carlson_mn]

Just sharing for ***** if you're really bored. Was my first time putting the GoPro on the bike, and didn't want to have to wait until Spring. I like this view but need to use the extension to get it out further. When I ride with a group I'll put it on the upper fairing.

Maybe try a better view other than your arse... :blink:

I never knew a Gen2 could lift the front end off the ground....

Nice ride, but I gotta agree with Bluesman. Get your *** out of the way so I can drive!

As you well know, on a normal year any riding on Christmas Eve around here would be "riding like an *****". But this is a very unusual year indeed! Saw people out yesterday in shorts. That is Minnesota I suppose.

As proud as you may be of it, I must agree that an ***-view may not be the best. I found myself wanting to see what was coming up on the road and was left seeing very little of that.

But(t), having said that, the video quality was great. Your riding as always, was great, and your bike is, well, great! Appears you had no problemn geting that FJR to perform. I imagine your going to have a lot of fun with that camera.

By the way, how does road salt look on a black bike?.

A great effort, but I agree with Tom and Bluesy: If we wanted to see *****, we'd just click on any photo of RadioHowie and Bustanut joker here on our FJR Forum to see The World's Best *****!

This video must have been filmed while riding your Suzuki Bandit 1200, because there isn't a Generation 2 FJR on Earth that can wheelie! jes' sayin' and nuff' said!

Is the abrasion resistance on the lower half just a winter thing?

Or, are we getting a little more cautious? Or wise? Or parental?

Christmas Eve riding in Minnesota on and FJR. More proof the end is near.

Nice, can hardly wait to see the "front" view!! Merry X mas!

 

[carlson_mn]

yeah, even my wife got sick of looking at my *** for the 30 seconds I made her watch the video. See you guys for a ride in April or May!

Yes, it took 3 purchases / returns until I found some pants that are truly comfortable on AND off the bike. Really like these ones.

Merry Christmas to everybody. Oh - and no salt on the bike as I don't think they've even bothered putting any down for us yet?

Nice job, Matt. Good to hear an FJR under the whip for the first time in a month and a half. See you in the spring!

 

[Gramps]

43 degrees tomorrow & sunny. Maybe give us another video?

Happy Holidays Matt & see you this Spring if not earlier.

Here's the other two camera angles that work pretty well.

This one will be good for following on twisty roads. It also shows just how much the forks are working on every ride.

I can elevate the camera from this position to work a bit better and then this will also be a good one.
