Ok, so i'm replying to quite a few things here... Sue - Bullet5 is a member of two forums I used to frequent, TMBF and the Bandit Forum. Hes a 17 year old little shit who thinks he knows everything and was trying to correct seasoned mechanics about repairs and servicing... Idiot. I left that bit in because mutual friends will laugh! Chaz - I use a Drift HD Ghost. At some point I'll do a video of my set up DonDino - I use Adobe Premiere Pro CS5. Easy to use if you watch a few tutorials, but I only know the basics so far. In response to all the posts about getting done for speeding via youtube; You will have had to seriously piss someone off for anything to come of it. The only people who have been done for it so far are well known hooligans, mos recently a guy on a ZX10R getting up to 150mph and filtering at near those speeds. Dangerous riding, not just speeding. Us lot going slightly above speed limit on empty long roads in the middle of nowhere shouldn't be a problem. The police seemingly can't even be arsed to pursue obvious cases with evidence nowadays (most recently the issue with a biker called David Bartholomew - google it), so I think we should be alright. Plus, mine is the only bike without its reg number in the video Haha In regards to krarkol's riding; Yes mate, you're riding was a bit iffy at times. You need to calm it for now, and improve skills before riding like that. Namely the issue where you started to overtake then pulled back in that I explained to you on the day. Can't be pulling that shit mate. And its stupid to come on a forum and say you want to be with the faster guys. Nothing wrong with saying that you want to be faster or better in the corners, but you will attract the wrong sort of attention by comparing yourself to others. Your bandit is not meant to keep up with R6's and Z750s. Or indeed my sexy Triumph It will need significant improvements to both front and rear suspension. A K8 GSXR rear shock will do the job for the rear, <£100 off eBay. New progressive fork springs and 15w fork oil will sort the front. In response to the posts about krarkol; Same post been repeated a few times, he seems a nice enough young guy - seems like hes got the point now
FFS DO NOT entice him .....he will be a decent rider in time he seems to be listening and taking the advice of all those that have posted. thats good critique for him
It's not the Police that 'can't be arsed' it's CPS (aka 'Couldn't Prosecute Satan') who don't pursue cases, much at the annoyance of Plod!
A YouTube video would never stand up in court if the defense was any good. Unless they see your face, the speedo and then get the original footage, they can't prove it beyond reasonable doubt. Not to mention YouTube compressing the video thus potentially changing the original frame rate and all kinds of other shit which would throw the evidence out. I'm no expert but the shit I've seen thrown out of court lately is disgusting. Honestly makes me think again about where I'm heading career wise.
I know there is only a difference of 150cc between the bandit and the z750 but as krakol saw last week at oulton there is quite a difference in power between them, when we went to j&s last week when the track lads were on their dinner break he said he notices how much harder it was for him to take over a car than me and how it put the power down, it would be like me comparing mine to a z1000
haha if I want to over take a car I need to ask them nicely and bounce it off the redline hahahhaa I got shown up by a pug 306 on the way home from work today...I'll be deleting that video before anybody sees :blush:
Haha I remember this used to happen to my on my 125, I'd pull out open the trottle and get level with them and they would look at me and put there foot down and I'd have to pull back in behind them feeling like a tool lol
Overtaking (and particularly on under powered machines) is less about power and more about spotting the moment when you the overtaker can give the overtakee the options you want them to have.
that happend to me on sunday! She moved over and when they do that i feel rude not to haha but yep i ended up stuck at the side of her .... embarrasing! Haha
Sometimes I feel bad when people see me in the mirror... They move over to the left to give me space, but I just can't go any faster haha edit - exactly like chaz just said above
That's what I use too, for my Tango DVDs. Been using different versions of it for about 6-7 years now... they keep moving stuff around with each new version and I get confused trying to figure out where everything is :lol: I was only asking as I wanted to see if there's anything else out there that's perhaps lighter and simpler to do the same job... but it seems Premiere is still king.
That happened to me on the very last day I had my CBF125! I remember it as if it were yesterday... went out for a ride with a friend, got on the motorway, he was behind me, I tried to overtake a Corsa or something like that... went up along his side... and FAIL... he accelerated and I had to fall back behind him again :banghead:
thats the thing haha she didnt accelerate or slow down just sat there at the side of her dropped it down and went past very very slowly haha
Just coz a car moves over for u to pass don't just do it. Make sure it's safe. They don't know how fast your bike is. If u don't have the space or time. Sod the car Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk sue
