    Just stumbled on this You Tube Vid where a rider provides " lean angle and technique " commentry, what I find amazing is how clear his speach and the VFR's great engine sound without intruding wind noise. :smile:

    Anyone know what he is using to film and record this piece ?

    I used to watch the vlogs from that guy, RideYourRide. It was very entertaining and he has a lot of excellent common sense tips to share. He hasn't posted a vlog in a while, and it's kind of a shame.

    Basically looked at the time and date and found other stuff by the same poster. The answer was also down in the comments of the first video.

    Dude he called the VFR a "THING" LOL Yea I know what he is saying, I did that what he was talking about in a video I made so you could tell in the video the bike is leaning,,alot. if you video with you staying at the least at the center line you don't really get a feel watching the video the angle your at, but this is when you have a helmet cam, all different when the camera is mounted on the bike. Good advice, Good video, nice narration too. never seen it before, bet he uses a helmet mike.

    I've seen vids from that guy before, he has a slim camera that's stuffed in front of his face inside the helmet.

    If he could stop talking to himself, he could focus on cleaning up his lines. Then lead by example...

    Thanks brother... I didn't bother to check any further, YouTube has a bad habit of sucking me in for hours if I start looking around.

    Can anyone identify the exhaust note?

    Sure sounded nice, and I wouldn't mind knowing what it was...

    I was gonna say it sounds pretty much like mine but a little quieter. I have a 2bros slipon. Mine is probably overdue for repacking. Does anyone know how you are supposed to know if it needs repacking? What diff will it make if I don't bother?

    He lives up here in NH... I have watched his videos and can identify about 80% of all the roads he is on... As near as I can identify he lives right outside of the town of Exeter.. I would love to meet him and take him to the western part of NH where the roads are a little bit more fun... But then again I do love the coastal routes as well... :wink:

    I just redid mine. It makes a slight difference, but mine wasn't too terribly blown out. Mine was starting to get blatty, though.

    I have a SS screen around the core, followed by SS wool and then fiberglass. My core has louvers too, don't know if that's a TB thing or not.
