anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

[Guest]

Lovin' the pic's guys, keep 'em comin'!

..pete- there's a couple of possible solutions...put a "hair guard" over mic's hole. If you look at outdoor audio recording, you will often see the mics have hairy coverings. This works best imo. you might also see Foam as a cover but for wind, it's pretty useless,imo.
Another option more complicated is to extract the audio track to edit or make a separate audio track from a windsheltered location on the bike and then match one to the video in the editing. I'm not soo much into this as I used to be but using audacity or wavosaur (free) for audio fixups (though Goldwave is MY favourite) then "virtualdub" (free)to sync and add the new track seems to give good results. You can actually remove various frequencies.... Everyone has their own system of course and vdub does need the video to be as ".avi" so you will likely need to convert the camera's format....

I like some music but it's really nice to hear the engine and road too.

I've got a fairly thick piece of foam I velcro over it at the moment and it works reasonably ok until I get up over about 80kph. The waterproof cover works wonders but muffles the exhaust note too much, and I can't plug the power in to keep it charged with that on either.

I know what you mean with the hairy style one, but not sure that will work so easy as the mic is internal and is basically a hole in the rear next to the USB socket which is why the piece of foam over it is the best I've been able to come up with yet.

I shall keep experimenting...

Had to go check on a job today, nice weather so decided to take the Bandit, my wife decided to come along too. Here is Dawn with the bike at Bishop Middleham, our destination. It was sunny when we set out, but soon clouded over. On the way back, stopped to take some pics at a village called Sedbergh. Some old trees were cut down a few years back, but some artist guy sculpted the stumps into these figures. Not too sure what gives with the dummy hanging from a tree, but there were a few odd things like this dotted about. Final shot, Dawn and the Bandit with the village pub.

Went out for a quick ride yesterday to celebrate father's day. Yup, I'm definitely on the west coast!

No pictures of it, but I got caught in one hellacious storm on my way home from work tonight. 60 mph winds, hail and lightning. I pulled into a convenience store and rode out the worst of it. A guy in a pickup truck who pulled in to the store just a minute after I did, told me there was a tree down across the road where I just came from. It must have fallen right after I went through.

I just happened upon this place. Next time I'm bringing my flyrod.

Thanks for the shots of your ride. Nice to see the Mrs.

Took my bike out for a ride last night to a local lake, got there just in time for sunset! I think this is probably one of the best pictures I've taken of my bike!

...I've seen enough English murder mysteries to know the bloodiness that goes on behind the doors in those pleasant English hamlets!

... this appears to be a murdered parachutist...Miss Marple, where are you?

There is a skydiving operation near Sedbergh...home of the Black Knights.

Thanks Charlie G, took some persuading to get her in the shots, hates having her photo taken when she is wearing her bike gear because she says it makes her look like the Michelin man .

Ever see the movie American Werewolf in London ?. The scene where the two lads walk into the pub and everyone stops talking and looks at them, well thats what its like at this pub too !.

Good guess BigD_83, but this must be a different Sedburgh, no parachuting clubs in this neck of the woods

Rode to work this morning and got a nice treat on the home. A ride through bike wash! Ok so I got caught in some rain... Big deal. Still more fun than car commuting.

Most definitely Tim! Beats the train as well...

 

[Tim Tom]

Absolutely! I take the bike to work as often as I can. Yesterday was the first time I got wet though. At least it was on the way home so it didnt really matter. Next questionable day I will be stuffing my rainsuit in my pack. Lesson learned.

Geezus, my favorite places to ride here are either shut down due to forest fires or the threat there of...temps have been in the lower 100s and with dry winds. Not fun to ride in. Forest service has hired people to block access to most of the forest roads and highways. If you don't live there, you don't get in. Silver fire is now at 49 square miles and is expected to grow another 9 square miles by Friday. So much for the Emery pass road. Ruidoso is a tender box as well as Cloudcroft (NM) Just heard they have a new fire in Prescott AZ or near there. Fun summer so far. I've had the bike home for a month now and have put 80 miles on it...weeeeeeeee.

I went on about 6 short rides today - I'm still breaking in the engine on the GPz1100, So I fired it up first, took a drive, varying the speed, etc., then came home parked the Z - grabbed the GS1100, and took off again.

It was great - I got some wind in my hair.

I want to do a little work on the GS suspension though - it seems way too easy to bottom out the front fork when braking, and somewhere before I got it the previous owner disabled the anti-dive, so I think I'm going to put the hoses back to stock and reactivate the anti-dive.

And I think the back shocks are sacked too - riding two up and cornering it's easy to hit the centerstand -

Was out last evening enjoying the views around the Saanich Peninsula, BC!

 

[Redman]

Most of my riding in last couple weeks has been to work and back. Or maybe an occasional errand in the evening.

Ride in at 630am, southbound, and with sun at low angle makes shadown across the lane.

Parked near side door.

It's my Birthday weekend and I pretty much spent it at the beach. Today was the only day I rode my "T" though...it's been too hot/muggy to ride but today wasn't that bad.

We have to pay for parking now that it's "Summer Season" so I only stayed an hour and enjoyed some carb legs at "Claws". Another great Birthday for me and first as a member of GSR.

EDIT 2: I made a boo boo. I meant to spell "crab legs" and I spelled "carb legs". Bahahahaha!
