Man that is some nice HD!!! Must be nice to get a few nice runs in on that ice. Also I think you made the camera wet itself. And another thing I thought you had a headlight when you came at the camera you were moving that fast the first time I watched it.
That put a smile on my face and a frown on the woman's, had the audio up a bit on the surround. hehe.

[Getmoresoon]

Thanks guys!
Right after I did the video, I took a handheld GPS and timed myself going down the lake. My first attempt at taping the thing on the handle bars failed miserably, so I one handed it. I got up to 82mph, which was close to full, and I wasn't tucked in, and had to let go cause I was scared driving with one hand. I am pretty sure on a smooth surface, all tucked in I could hit 90, which isn't bad for a 250cc bike, with stock cylinder, and head.

I was pretty amazed when I had the gps in my hand, and I was in 6th gear just cruising along, not much above idle, and I was doing 62mph. Didn't feel like it. I probably passed the camera doing 70 or so. I came as close as I dare, probably less than 2 feet.

Remember the kid on the trike in the driveway on The Incredibles? That was me when I watched you fly by the camera at 70mph!

THAT WAS TOTALLY WICKED!

[ChrisD]

Looks great Anthony. I love what that camera can do. The pictures are awsome.

[RodKnockRacing]

thats awesome I love it

[Frankencelery]

Oh, I forgot to ask a question...or two. What camera are you using? Also, I always assumed HD simply meant higher resolution, but after watching that slow motion video, it seems to me the frame rate is higher too...is that right?

[MonroeMike]

Nice fly by, reminded me of Top Gun.

[yammer hammer]

That was sick man. your bike works good!

Oh, I forgot to ask a question...or two. What camera are you using? Also, I always assumed HD simply meant higher resolution, but after watching that slow motion video, it seems to me the frame rate is higher too...is that right?

I am using a Casio EXFH-20. It is a high speed camera. The HD video is shot in 720P, and the slow motion stuff is like 480x360@210fps. I can shoot at 420fps, and 1000fps, but the quality of the image goes down after that. I paid over $300 for that camera, but now Casio has a compact line of the camera, I got one for my son for like $179, just go check out Casio's web-site, and look up their high speed camera stuff. If you click on my user profile on youtube, I have a bunch of slow-motion stuff, like slot car drags, and bees wings flapping, etc.

BTW, if you guys think I am fast, I am probably the slowest out of the guys I ride with here, they kick butt.

[yammer hammer]

Awesome video! I've got to get out on the ice some time! Do you stud the front tire as well? I think I'll get a set ready so when the opportunity arises, I'll be ready.

[riverrat]

Yes, we stud the front. Getting the proper ice tire is not always easy, better to be prepared. We can help with the setup.
