Filming my ride

nabil15 · August 28, 2010

Yeah sure. I got someone ten thousand miles away dying right this moment and I'm relying on remote-controlling her friend (more or less) to save her and her child.

I wish I can rely on people closer to me geographically but I know I can't.

This is the second time in two years...

I hope all goes well, and you could do something to ease the situation.

Hope the child and mum is fine

Can't make it this WE guys, I'm swamped with work and if I get out of bed early it'll be to come sit behind this screen and get some work done for next week. And I'm joining a charity ride on Sunday afternoon that was planned eons ago. I have not had the chance to wash my bike in so long I can't remember when I did it the last time, so that tells you it's bad busy

Kalyan, you'll work it out I'm sure, don't get bitter online, doesn't suit your niceness

No worries at all.

I'll try to make this weekend rides consistent, so hopefully whenever any of you guys get free you can always just pop by to distress for a peaceful ride (:

yup yup.. same.. standard.. exact same amount also..

you got your "shipping" notification? it should be already packed for yours? Mine haven't yet..

& they didn't state as business days, so I assume it will be normal days only..

2 weeks.. waiting..

anyone riding tonight ?.

Huxian and his Hyosung Comet last night:

[yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUP8G1nU4kI[/yt]

His Comet has an EXTREMELY high safe cornering speed due to the lack of boxes (light weight) and more importantly the advanced monoshock suspension.

Cool camo patterned "Super 1.5"!

--

Course: "Eastern Midnight Express"

Start - Downtown east @ 0000hrs

Proceed to "Airport Autocross" (nabil's course)
Westbound via ECP to Pasir Panjang
"99 Bends"
North via Adam/Lornie to Upper Thomson
"Devil's Bend"
Retire at Yishun Dam 0200h

Rules of engagement: None. Touge format during the fun parts.

It was fun to ride with Huxian as he is very focused and maintains a constant riding pattern all the way... at more or less flat out. Yes we were stopped by a roadblock and no they liked us :3

LOL yes we have to unite all the famous outing crews together; nabil needs to get less busy, I need to get less stressed and you need your cam.

The plot looks perfect to me!

LOL Good work mate - crazy skill balancing that thing while on the go. Do more of that and you can join the Top Gear India discussions on facebook

haha... yeah.. den end of the day, all combine into our own "thumb drive" go home and create our very own video.. I'll bring my netbook along on that day, & you guys bring your own "harddisc" or thumbdrive.. den all videos to be copied together.. *all this will be done while we are having dinner at the same time..

haha.. yeah.. balancing.. not good man.. dangerous action... Confirm not in time for E-brake..

Pandoras Kitten 3 · August 29, 2010

Confirm not in time for E-brake..

No problem for nabil I think. Bollywood action hero power :3

Have you seen his van video? Awesome driving.

An idea for our combined video shoot is to film both from the bike and dismounted, that way we can imitate those magazine-format car shows like Top Gear. That's what we don't dare to do so far but since nabil and I are so infamous already I don't care to show my unglam face on the vids

If we can find a deserted carpark or stretch of road we can do a lot of slow speed maneuvers and "flybys" to show off the bikes, riders, and the noises they make. We do not have to ride fast, just ride with style. Cameras make things look really fast, anyway.

haha... okok... will join you guys once I managed to "mount" my "incoming" video-cam..

nabil15 · August 30, 2010

Hey guys this sat I would be free (:

But in the evening I need go for prayers at the mosque.

So if the rides in the morning or afternoon, I'd be glad to join in. Can start planning and putting template up, if you guys are fine with sat morning (:

Thanks alot bro. actually I-phone video quality is pretty good, very good too actually. And I loved the angles captured, don't get so much freedom then if you mount it!

I'm running the Saturday night one and for now have to be gently persuaded to join a day outing.

Kindly go ahead and try your persuasion skills :3

Lol.

Lol.

My persuasion skills were never good to begin with. Haa

But I'm sure the early morning rides have their own taste and creates a much more different atmosphere then the night runs. Although at 6am, it's still dark, it's something different and more delighting!

Guess we can always exchange once a forthnight or smth to enter each other rides and learn more.

Not to forget riding early morning on the weekends is brilliant too, roads are wide, and spacious.

Pandoras Kitten 3 · August 30, 2010

I just spent 3 hours at Planet waiting for a rare sprocket size; I also got the latest X-ring heavy-duty chain after complaining to Ah Chong there was something having a bad rattle whenever I clutch in to coast or stop. Turns out it's the lightweight chain at fault, prone to stretching under my kind of riding style.

So with my personal selection of highway sprocket and more advanced chain my cruising speed is 90kph (@10-20% throttle). I didn't do this to increase the top speed (indirect benefit) but to decrease cruise RPMs and thus, running temperature. Makes good use of torque like a proper cruiser should. I don't like going 7,000RPM every time I hit the highway.

This should make my bike more comfortable for highway sprints, won't overheat (and destroy engine oil) in the day and raise fuel efficiency back to the 40+km/l range.

Will post template for Saturday night touge once I poked at the beyond the screen section..

edit.. and there it is

I prefer roadkill to live animals, which may throw you off your game.

I was cornering pretty fast and low at the entrance of the lane where Rochor tau huey is, and I ran over a cat dashing across the road. There was no way I could avoid it, and I had already committed fully into the lean, hence I refused to change my line, resulting in a bumpy wobble as I ran over the cat with my front wheel, which unseated me and gave me a tankslapper out of the turn. I maintained my throttle and shifted my weight to the back, easing the steering and straightening the front into a beautiful recovery.

Will post the video when I find it...

Wow! Can we do a fly-by while the NSR catches up and join us in formation while on the move? Tho that would mean I'd have to stay behind to capture the whole thing...
