That singletrack tuff stuff is what my other 'toom is for. This one is for ripping, albeit slow ripping. |

<--- has a GoPro HD. I've got two batteries and a 32 Gb card so I'll run out of juice before I run out of storage. I've only played with it on a couple of rides but I'm impressed with the quality. I picked it up from an online RV accessories retailer, of all places. One of those retailers who is willing to sell stuff waaaay below the the MSRP. I had originally ordered one from a small-time online moto retailer, but GoPro cut him off for underselling it so he had to scrap my order. I need to get rid of my "FTLBS" plate and get one that reads "FARKL". |

That would be more fitting. Although I'm sure the spaceship will pull some stumps if you asked it to. |

You're good. I think I had it for like $243 or some odd number. They're not supposed to be sold for less than $299.99. Just make sure you're looking at the HD "motorsports" version or else you won't get any of the mounting options, and the motorsports version comes with a LOT of stuff. Google found me this deal.

bump to eric's post http://www.badweatherbikers.com/cgibin/discus/show .cgi?tpc=37&post=1872079#POST1872079 lets see if you can figure out a way to mount it to a gyro... I like seeing the lean angle but why the hell did they put it on the tail? PS Scotty on the video your bike sounds like its electric... |

$149 td 9/28. Lean angle performance school. Bueller?....bueller?.... It doesn't get any cheaper than this. And as anyone who's done one can attest, it's the most fun you can have with your motorcycle. And, I have a spare suit, and I know someone who probably won't be using theirs... |

http://www.planetdirt.com/coursedescription.html That might be too basic...I don't know if it's byodb, but you're more than welcome to use the lc4. Seriously. |

Much to basic for Scotty, he rides FLAT OUT...That is how he rides, FLAT OUT! He rides a BMW Adventure, worth more than all your Buell's put together & more power. With all the farkle & his Ricky Racer boxers it is good for another 10hp. He rides fast on the streets, Real Fast, nobody can even hang with him, he is THAT good! You obviously don't know what your talking about offering such a basic course. |

Shut up or I'll punch you in your broken wing. Funny thing; wifey got me a gift cert for that school for my birthday this year... I promptly traded it for the ARC. The website for Planet Dirt had me nervous; all flatland with what looked like wives & kiddies puttering around safely. Bor. ing. And the farks are only good for around 5 horsepowers, s hithead. |

Then you must go to the school of fall down and pick up. |

Already had one lesson, and the fall-down was much easier than pick-up. Big bikes are heavy... who knew. |

Free? I'll come grab it. They are a different feeling when I tried Sherry's dad's. Cool thing, they take up less space than most benches. |
