So smokey, when are you going to mount a camera under your bike?

I am sure most everyone has seen the guy on youtube that was tiptoeing around on his goldwing with a c/t. I am not a very aggressive rider, so for me to mount one under my bike would no really show how well the c/t performs under more extreme conditions. But I have heard the smokey was a pretty aggressive driver and if you were game, it could be a pretty awesome video. I think that the harder you go into a turn, the more rubber comes into contact with the road. Like wise the slower you go in a turn, the less comes into contact. What do you think smokey?

I would be game for mounting a camera .... If I had one I could mount. I would like to mount it back between my saddle bags to give a real view of the action. Actually I think to give a perspective of lean angles that it would best be shot from a bike behind me. I agree that there is more contact the harder you push it into a corner. I have been told that my tire flexes when I am romping through a turn. I can also feel it "roll" not flex when doing slow manuevers. I played with my tire pressures all the way down to 18 lbs to see if there was much diference. Not much difference at all, I am back up to 35 now just to have more air in the tire if I were to catch a nail or something. I could take it up into the 40's and hold out a lot of the flex but I prefer to have my tire flex for me. I like the extra contact and grip it offers. I had Wiggans 50cal behind me the other day and he thought I was running real low pressure. Was surprised when I told him 35. When I romp on the bike (most of the time ) the rear bites down hard. Wiggans got to see me dragging hard parts pilling into a parking lot and then into the lot.
I am going to move this to the general thread to share with everone

See you out there

OK. It would definitely be interesting to have some one do this. And not a slow poke like myself, although my age may have some thing to do with my more casual driving style now days

I have a camera coming. As soon as I get it, I will pm you for your address

Well my wife finally brought the camera home! It is a little more out dated then I remembered , sorta big, and it takes a tape. I may try and rig some thing up to mount on the back, but putting it under the bike is pretty much out of the question.

I hear duct tape is a cure all .... no that's not my redneck experiences speaking there

Yep, like the commercial used to say: If they would of had duct tape back then, the Sphinx would still have a nose
