Yes, very nice. And it's really cool how you can use the software's special effects to make the Aprilia look fast. Good job.

Re: Big Bend 2015
Awesome video, thanks for posting up! Man, having a cam on a helmet makes for some seriously shaky video when it's sped up. Next time I'll have to not move my head at all.
Next year will be awesome as well!!! Especially with the love of my life BD

Re: Big Bend 2015
LOL...I'd like to see you ride without moving your head! Why not put it on the bike instead (too easy)? I believe without the music, we can hear you talking it up on the comms.
Chance favors the prepared mind.

Re: Big Bend 2015
I find I get much worse camera "shake" on the handlebar also. I even wire-tied my camera to the mirrow stalk and it felt much more stable, but that just made it worse.

Re: Big Bend 2015
Actually, that bike of yours is pretty darn fast. I was probably cruising about 100 or 105 when you passed me at IB, and you would have disappeared into the horizon, had there been one. Very impressive. And it sounded nice also.fixxervi6 wrote:What's funny is even at 100mph it still looks slow. I have some cranfills videoLonestarCBR wrote:Yes, very nice.

Of course had I not been having the windshield malfunction I would have utilized the "doppler shift' button and, well, sayonara! Ludicrous speed!

As long as it stays running, every time there is a track day I get to hear about how there is another RSV4 that quit running for one reason or another.LonestarCBR wrote:Actually, that bike of yours is pretty darn fast.

Re: Big Bend 2015
If you lower it and let me test drive it I *might* consider a purchase.

I'd have to warn you, it's a very unforgiving machine, instant power everywhere above 4K

Re: Big Bend 2015
LOL I'd do it just to hear Miles yell POWA! and I agree Terry, I see what he's doing Maybe when I get intentional wheelies taken care of then it might be a possibility. The Ape actually sucked less gas than my 600 on the BB trip so maybe she's not such a pig after all??

Re: Big Bend 2015
It was the pace, your 600 had to generate higher revs to put the same power down while the ape just kicked it's heals back and cruised.BeautifulDisaster wrote:LOL I'd do it just to hear Miles yell POWA! and I agree Terry, I see what he's doing Maybe when I get intentional wheelies taken care of then it might be a possibility.
