[Blogs] Today while riding...

[wait4me]

Yap. My GoPro Hero also vibrate like crazy at anything above 90km/hr. So I hardly use it on my helmet.

 

Anyway back to the point.

 

Yesterday while riding, along Upper Thomson Road on my way to Macritchie, I kena flashed by the driver behind when I slowed down to the speed limit of 60km/hr outside Pierce Secondary school. Although I very slow, but then hor, last week at this time got mounted camera on the overhead bridge leh! I trying to play safe mah!

 

Then on the way back, I lanesplit! split! split! until I reach Upper Thomson Road again.

Along the way, there was this cream coloured Vespa F##7618# ridden by a chick looking lady.

Naturally, I kay poh, kay poh and buaya-ed up closer to take a closer look!

 

She was wearing purple leggings and a sleeveless top, but she did wear covered leather shoes and sported a pair of riding gloves.

 

Since she was not the type to lanesplit but still kept to the left of the right most lane, I also kwai kwai stayed behind her on her right hand side and made sure she can see me in her big round mirrors mounted on long chromed silver stalks and in doing so I can also see her face whenever she checked her mirrors.

 

Together we rode behind a Mazda 5 for some time before she started coming nearer and nearer to me. Although tempted to let her come nearer, I guessed that she was actually going to make a right turn soon, so rather than disturb people, I signal left, off my throttle and went behind her to her left, as I did so, I saw her signal lights going off and soon overtook her, stealing one last look as I passed her by. That was the last time I saw her in her bubble shaped visor riding away.... ....

 

When I reached Yishun, there was this "Ninja" rider F##8010# riding pell-mell during a left turn as I was going straight in the middle lane, fortunately he can control his bike and stayed in his lane when cornering. He then went pass me on the right revving his engine like no tomorrow, then he stopped. The light in front red light! Once the lights turn green, he zoomed off again, and I caught up with him a 2nd time at the next traffic light after Yishun Stadium and Orchid park condo, then he zoomed off again and I caught up with him a 3rd time at the red light just before Orchid Country Club! For the 3rd time in a row, he kena red light and had to stop! Muahahaha! Then I caught up with him yet once more for the 4th time at the next traffic light before turning into my carpark laughing and I was riding my 9 year old Phantom while doing it! He really sway lor! :lol:

 

 

no wonder my gf keep complaining to me this bike behind her keep following her

eat full nothing to do

@aRcHeR. Might those track be using suction mount instead? Suction mount seems to be more stable.

 

nope, they using the surface mounts instead. smaller and more secure.

[xue ling]

can feel resistance la. but not that bad until shake like F1..

 

track-goers tested above legal speed limits, OK!

 

when u free to meet up? i wanna see the actual product :lol:

[ticks]

the one selling at motoworld is able to record front and back with 2 cameras all link to 1 recorder. can check out the sample video here http://www.create-eop.com.tw/multi-channel-drive-recorder.html?CID=2

 

my fren mounted his GoPro hd hero 2 on top of his helmet and experienced pretty bad headshakes above 100kmh, especially with headwinds. so i need to meet up with him 1 day to find out more

 

Ahh I see. That clears it. Thanks sis. Do update on the recorders. Hehe.

[ticks]

Looks like a modified Tic Tac container.

 

I did noticed the Tic Tac!! thought it was some marketing scam..hahahaa

no problem. i tot of a cheaper alternative if u wanna record front and back. get 2 808 #16 v2 keychain camera with 120 degree wide angle lens which will cost USD87.98 and 2 mircoSD card (maybe $30?). mount both the camera on the front and rear of the bike. there u go, cost less than $150. but the downside is that the cameras arent rainproof :lol:

Most probably saying that you have a nice 2B bike.

Not so common to see an Aprilia sportbike, in my opinion.

 

You can nod back next time. =)

[aRcHeR]

put time put place la..

[CSV]

i used to do the beep beep wave when see nice bikes.

 

but everytime no respond one, maybe becuase i male rider.

 

last time saw Moto Guzzi, BMW K1300S etc etc then all ignore.

 

Harley slightly better cause sometime i stop beside them and ask them about their bikes.

 

if i wear skirt ride, sure got guys come chat me up.

I agree. Don't have to beep and wave at every nice bike you see.

Just enjoy the view from where you are.

If they make eye-contact, then nod lor...

 

If people beep and wave at me, I'll just nod back...

Although sometimes quite irritating...

Hehe...

A guy wearing a skirt?! That reminds me of an incident whereby I stopped at a traffic light and saw a guy wearing hot pants riding a bike. I made sure he was way behind me and I never get any view of him infront of me.

No use flashing them with headlights. Need a powerful laser pointer aimed at their rear view mirror. That should do the trick.

thinking handphone driving is bad? try texting and driving..
