what

The dragon run I was alone-ish, the Cherohala run @Danimal was right behind me, followed by @2talltim, @ScubaCinci and I think @blue72beetle. Most of the rest of my footage (Saturday and Sunday) have me behind Dan/Tim and @Tonik. I'll be posting that stuff tonight. And yes, I knew I hit the turn signal fairly often but I think it's reached "you need therapy" levels after watching these videos, lol.

DG Run - 2 part

Full Cherohala Run - 1 through 5

Lol! not yet. operation still classified I guess.

Once I get my DG vids up you'll see you weren't the only one with a frustrating run... lol you can hear me swearing at people above the engine noise.

I figured out that I'm an idiot and needed to validate my account. Uploads are coming today throughout the day. A squirrel got the ride of its life last night and cut power to my apartment complex until this morning.

Slightly modified route to include 145 + 26. The section of 26 off of 145 is freshly paved (actually paved) and really smooth. 676 also subbed in for 550. The last ride I did with @JCMathis took us the 145 -> 26 route and it was pretty damn nice. https://www.google.com/maps/dir/39.6531777,-81.8503761/39.7617123,-81.3917946/39.5680837,-81.2018558/39.426302,-81.4120331/39.4717034,-81.7144526/39.4924595,-81.8589375/39.6451555,-81.8963065/39.6518293,-81.8508675/@39.6765315,-81.6879372,10.01z/data=!4m35!4m34!1m0!1m20!3m4!1m2!1d-81.0884802!2d39.8463556!3s0x883616da29d8560f:0x4b9411e3b479d963!3m4!1m2!1d-81.0480539!2d39.7823081!3s0x88361a6e35cbc437:0xc5c28ab820e61ea5!3m4!1m2!1d-81.2138989!2d39.6327383!3s0x8849df740371a965:0x57af320d7d0c039e!3m4!1m2!1d-81.2220414!2d39.5971884!3s0x8849dee02af9dc4f:0x82d3603173d56694!1m0!1m0!1m0!1m5!3m4!1m2!1d-81.8533576!2d39.5592084!3s0x88482297690c6a99:0x5883cc73b2da6658!1m0!1m0!3e0

Weird. Was telling me I needed to pay or upgrade or something.

Yeah that's what I'm doing. Youtube has a 15:00 limit on their videos though so I'm having to cut down the 17:00 segments to fit within their bs. I'll be faster next year after some more track time Also, good lord my body position is all kinds of bad in that photo. I'm hoping they just caught me lifting my head to begin transitioning into the next corner...

I guess GoPro decided that they needed to account for the lowest common denominator.

So as far as uploads go, I'll be uploading what I can find that's below 15:00 long tonight. Anything above 15:00 I need to cut into multiple files. The reason for this is that the GoPro separates files once they reach 4GB, which is the maximum file size possible with Windows machines. Unfortunately 4GB sits at around 17:00. I'm splitting things into 14:55 comps and rendering out as mp4s which takes a good bit of time (about 1.5-2 hours per 14:55 clip). I'll post runs as I get them finished.

Sorry I'm so slow.

Actually got one ok photo...

Both brake and clutch lines are braided so any expansion caused by pressure should be minimal.

This is really sad... Thoughts are with his friends and family. I only got to meet him once but was really hoping to get to know him better on the track next year. He seemed the type to go out of his way to help anyone who needed it and was generally a pleasure to be around.

I will tonight.

So I found out it's a relatively common problem with the clutch used in that motor (also an issue on that year's 750 monster). Lots of voodoo, witchcraft and wizardry used in trying to find a solve over the years and the best I could find was "use non-synthetic motor oil" (not sure how this helps with a dry clutch), "use x brand clutch oil" and "wear thick boots like doc martins". One person did mention that the stock slave cylinder on the 750 is shitty and replacing it with an aftermarket makes things better. Will look into that a bit. My easy-fix for now is to just be more mindful of how I'm shifting.

I'll probably pick up a 128 gig card this week. Not going to spring for the 90Mb/s+ write speed ones though, no point since I won't be filming 4k. With a 128 gig card I could have gotten the entire trip and had 6 hours of extra space.

having fun talking to yourself? i haven't gotten lunch. not sure if i'm going to. it's completely fucking dead at work so i'm browsing the internet finding ways to go broke upgrading the track bike.

raw footage from Sunday chasing two hooligans

I did see what looked like a silver connie parked on the side of the road...

Good pics. I was stuck behind cars for every photographer corner so nothing for me. Home safe and sound. Sucks for Scorpion, hope that gets sorted without much trouble...

Every time work tells me I'm going to cleveland or cincinnati I gag. Look, I don't even capitalize their names.
