Guys

If its raining outside and you don't want to get wet then you might like to check out my maiden voyage (wet!) on my S40 Bobber.

Watching that video makes me really jumpy........I couldn't begin to ride in a place where I have to ride on the "other" side of the road all the time!

I believe that is one of the best ride videos that I have seen on this site. It felt like I was on the bike. All of the curves seemed realistic. I wonder which camera it was shot with.

Dave, you would soon get used to riding on the "other" side of the road. A friend who has driven extensively in continental Europe and South America reckons the danger period is after about three days when you can lapse back into your normal habits. Having said that we have a few fatalities down here from people who drive on your side of the road. Mainly continentals, but a few North Americans.

What size is that speedometer? I've been looking to move my speedo to the handlebars and can't decide on a size.

The camera was a GoPro 4 silver - it's got brilliant anti shake when filming widescreen

The roads are so thin! hardly any room to maneuver...

Heck my side street is a third again as wide as most of those roads :)

Thin roads, steep hills and sweeping bends - My S40 just loves them :)

Love those stone walls! If they had them here there would be tons of broken spaces and a few splots on them, where cars and people got off center. :D

Bicyclist won't ride on the bike path on highway 98 any more. They ride 20 feet off on the shoulder.... down here the lanes are 12" wide X 2 lanes, then another 5 feet for the bike path.... and drivers still run off the road! :D
