Willow Springs 97 VFR Video

Some on board shots on my 97 VFR from 4/8/07 .... Click the pic to see the Video !

 

Great video SLO! What struck me was all the skidmarks from the previous folks going uke: that will put a little respect in your throttle hand!

 

He had a jacket on over the leathers ..... I know I had to double take on that when I was behind him.

 

Nice vid! I'll get to the track one day..... maybe.

 

That was only my second track day. Tori and I went although I wasnt sure if I felt up to it just about 4 weeks since I crashed. All went well untill .... well, I'll let Tori tell the story.... IT sure is a blast. I didn't get to go as fast on the track from precrash nerves. Not the fact that I might get hurt .... its too darn expensive to fix the bike !

 

Okay Tori do tell Nice, thanks for sharing, looked like a good time. funny how that wind there changed how you could hear the VFR sing it's song, love the sound of a 4th gen, again, Nice! okay Tori your turn.

 

Alright....... im finally getting around to posting up some video. This is more of Brian's footage, but it includes me. I've been waiting for a decent video editing program that can convert MOV files to MPEG, the one i just got works, but sucks. It really kills the quality.

Anywho......... Brian is the camera bike, im immediately in front in the white power ranger costume, and im playing with a guy on a ZX10. He was pretty much in my way the whole time, i put him behind me in the straight-away. :lever: After that, there's not much footage of me, so i stopped the video. :bolt: ....... oh, and keep in mind, we're not allowed to pass on the inside. So i was stuck with him constantly on the outside of every turn.

Thats Better, good job, Power ranger ya gota love it still love the sound of the 4th gens damn man it's a real Hell hole out there ain't it? was it hot?

 

Hey Brian and Tori,
that looks awesome ! I have been riding on the street and dirt for over 33 years now but never tried a track day yet , is there a corse i can or should take first or is that what you were doing ? i gotta try this !! Tim

 

RVFR, this was back in April so it was still cool, and later on in the day it was windy as a mo-fo !

Speed, you can do either really. The schools cost quite a bit more, but they are worth it if you can afford it. Kinda like good gear. Getting to ride a track is a must !

 

Hey Tori,
thanks, how fast did you get up to ? i think i will take the corse , any one else wanta take the corse at the as time ?

 

I was hitting an indicated 109 in the big turn (8-9) and the straight about 125 ish,..... but i was just in the C group. The A riders really turn it up !

 

nice but i might end up in the d group (ha ha) , i just went back and watched the video, awesome ! this is a must for me and now i know what im doing for one of my weeks vacation this year , is there a number for the corse that you know of ? thanks Tim

 

reg, are you really thinking of taking this corse ? and brian, where and what type of cam were you useing on your ride ? i would love to get a setup like that did you use your laptop or its own unit ? thanks tim

 

The cam is mounted on a $30.00 ebay tank mount. It a panasonic TZ1 and is super nice. It does more than I can figure out. But when you get it dialed in it does good footage. I recomend at least a 2 gig high speed card for it.

Where are you located?

 

what ? dose more than you can figure out ? youll get it , you guys make this site look easy im still trying to post pictures ?
can the panasonic TZ1 have more than one cam ? i would like to have at least three (front,rear and gages) that was cool to hear the engine ,
oh i am in southern calif. covina,ca. to be exact 20 mins east of L.A. , how far are you from thousand oaks, i work for the demo company that did all the demo at the mall in thousand oaks .

 

Speed, the TZ1 is just a picture camera that has video capabilities. Albeit a good quality cam. Its all about the Leica lens !
