Just got back from the ride. Way less people out there than on Sunday. I knew it would be less, but I kind of thought that it'd still be busy since some people (like myself) have Presidents' Day off from work.
Was a fun ride. :) I wish I was in a group with other riders though.
I went for a 2-3 hour ride today down to Cooks Corner (didn't stop by, place was SUPER busy this afternoon).
I rode up and down the Santiago Canyon Rd probably 4-5 times, passing Cooks Corner, turning around, and riding until Santiago Canyon turns into Chapman and then doing it all over...
Yeah he has some awesome videos. I also started watching his videos before I finally got my bike. I'm actually REALLY thinking about getting a GoPro camera and mounting it to my helmet to start recording my rides. Maybe I could start to become a motovlogger on YouTube as well.
It's hard to describe the feeling you get riding motorcycles to others; especially if they don't ride themselves.
The below video is from a motovlogger I follow on YouTube and I thought he summed it up pretty well. It's a nicely edited video and I hope you enjoy. :Sport:
I'm in Love
Changed my bikes oil today. Went full synthetic with a nice k&n filter. The filter has a bolt head on the end of it so it makes it easier to screw on and off. I've never seen that before using k&n filters on my cars. Pretty neat.
Negatives about the bike brought up (that I remember):
Swingarm looks ugly and doesn't flow with the style of the bike.
Rear fender is big and we wish it came stock a lot more tucked under the rear wheel for aesthetics reasons.
Most people didn't like the rabbit ear mirrors.
Everyone...
Was nice to met you and get to know a bit about you and your current and past riding experience. Even if it was a bit informal lol.
In case you don't remember, my name was Mike and I sat next to you.
I fail to remember the name of the other guy (I'm horrible at names), but I hope he finds...
I'm glad a few others were able to sign up. :)
I would have shared the phone number but I didn't think they would accept other people not on their "list".
Yeah from what I got out of the person signing me up on the phone it's going to be prototypes and ideas for future iterations on the fz6r that they want feedback on.
