Me: "People usually lie when they cause accidents, this will keep them honest." Him: "How do you activate it?" Me: "I just press the silver button." Him: "So, when an accident is about to happen you reach up and keep pressing that button to get lots of pictures?" Me: Him: Me: Him: Me: "It's a video camera. It's always recording when I ride..." Him: Me: "I don't have to press the button during an accident." Him: "Video? That small? Oh, yeah - well I guess that makes more sense."

Revelstoker Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 I get that a lot from people as the camera is only really targeted towards "active sports" types. Couch potatoes need not apply. I actually have a video from MotoGP where two professional photogs come up and asked me about it. (It was on my head to shoot over the crowd)One correctly surmised that it's vantage point was good for looking down the tops of women. He was humiliated when I told him it was recording.If I could just edit the size, I could post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonik Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 This thread raises a broader question, one I asked on twitter the other day. Why does everyone at a gas station, restaurant or even a stop light feel this uncontrollable urge to talk to the biker? It happens to me all the time. Some of the sample conversations I seem to have every day:Them: Great day for a ride!Me: How would you know, you are in a cage.Them: My brothers second cousin's nephew twice removed got killed on a motorcycle.Me: While I am sorry to hear someone you apparently don't even know died, I really don't give a shit.Them: Is that a Harley?Me: No, are you blind or stupid because it says right there in big letters 'Kawasaki'.I still don't have a snappy comeback for 'Where are you headed' but I am working on it.My favorite story though was the time when a bunch of old people came up to a group of us and were all excited to see 'real' bikers. I kid you not, they took their picture with us. Anyway, the best answer I got on twitter was they want to ride a bike but don't so they are living vicariously through talking to the biker. That actually makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monstrosity Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 ^ I know what you mean about getting asked questions. Funny thing was when I had my 05 Speed Triple I was always getting asked about it. "What is that thing"? "Looks like a bike outta Mad Max". I never minded talking to people, I remember when I was a teenager and would ask guys questions on bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
