Mini CooperS Wants to race.

Heading out to work, minding my own business...

Then this CooperS comes up around me at high rev.

It was on. You only see him once at the beginning. We hit the lights at front about 4 times. I made sure he was well behind me getting on the Interstate. He never got around me even though I was gas starved, I was at reserve and I didn't realize it. That's why my engine sounds funny at times.

Sorry about the jiggly video. The mount is getting loose and I didn't have time to fix it.

Like taking candy from a baby. It always strikes me funny when folks with mediocre cars think they have a fast car.

Here's an actual FAST car! (1/4 mile: 9.92 sec; top speed 270 MPH)

Here's a slow turnip of a car:

Happens almost every day. Had this old man try to keep me behind him with his wife in the car. Followed me through traffic so bad I had to split traffic to get away from him. He was MAD. I got to the store and parked where I normally do and here he comes, parks in the handicapped space and GLARED at me as his wife went into the store. I went inside, when I came out he was gone. Thought for sure he would have called it in. Too bad, I would have showed the Cop my SO ID and have him give the guy a little chit chat.

You should have looked straight at him and yelled "WTF YOU LOOKIN' AT"?

No more jiggly mount. I went from this.



To this.






I always knew the old mirror mounting holes were going to come in handy. The best thing is that you don't see the dash in the frame any more. The Liquid Image doesn't get any of the bike in the frame at all and the Ion barely gets the headlight bucket in the bottom corner.

Maybe I'll have a chance to try it out tomorrow.

Yeah but I liked seeing how fast you were going.

But I save a bunch of time not having to destroy evidence.

The angle of the camera does make it look like I'm going faster than I actually am as well.

Gotcha.

Sucky 7/13. Cut off by 2 drivers and saw "ebayed" Thruxton. And my experimental camera mount failed.

I get cut off by a dump truck on a clear highway. Then I see the demise of a full-sized Bronco.

Didn't realise there was a post like this before I hastily put up my own, but I reckon this belongs here:

Now I know why motorcycling is so dangerous in the USA.
You guys all ride on the wrong side of the road!!!!!

We ride on the right side of the road.
