My Darkside Video
Hello all. First post.
I wanted to see how the Michelin handles on my bike and on the roads I drive.
I scraped the floorboards a couple of times and the tire was nowhere near the sidewalls. That issue had me concerned.
I am pleasantly surprised.

Nice video. Easily the best darkside video I've seen on youtube.
Michelin Hydroedge is a really good choice of tire as well.

Well done! I want someone to hit the break when they are going 50. I liked the acceleration. Had not seen that.
Lot's of folks talk about handling in the curves, but if you are scaping pegs, that's as far as the cruisers will lean over.
How much was the camera? I want to know about that. Looks really steady. wondering how hard it is to operate and if the software is simple enough to use.

Great video, thx sharing it with us. Although I did not have any doubts, the sound of scraping
the pegs and in the mean time be able to see that there is at least 35% of contactpath on that
time is still amazing.

Re: My Darkside Video
I appreciate the kind words. The camera was $149. Some folks have asked what the sidewall looked like during the curves. I plan to mount the camera where it will show the sidewalls to answer that one. I'm also going to mount it on a friends Valk and compare the contact patch to a MT. Stay tuned.
