I have it on PC using a 360 gamepad. Physics feel very similar to Milestone's MotoGP13, maybe the later ones too but 13 is the last I played. Which is to say they're okay, if you can accept a number of odd behaviors.
It typically makes sense to buy the fastest bike in a given class or else you have to mod the crap out of the bike just to keep up with the riders on the fastest bike. The under-700cc Naked class especially: DO NOT buy the FZ-07, you will not win a race with it and you'll be stuck drastically reducing the difficulty to get any money at all.
Note: I play with highest difficulty AI and most realistic physics settings. YMMV if you use different settings.
These are all my clips, i currently ride a 2013 WC BMW R1200GS.
The thing with a gopro is to mix it up a bit. Try different locations around the bike to get some funky views.
Got the mini-indicators installed on the rear, will do fronts tomorrow. Will have to work on those chicken strips, too.
Also black stealth housing for the GoPro and Sena 20S installed on the helmet... I absolutely LOVE the Sena!
Google Now voice commands with the press of a button while riding is something I could have never imagined 10 years ago. I can just say "OK Google, navigate to Helsinki" and the phone will wake up from sleep, start the map app, and start navigating to Helsinki with voice directions and everything. Will need to get a RAM mount for the phone so it sits under the gauges though.
Why? Wearing the whole surface of the tyre on the street requires either high lean angle or terrible body position, neither of which should you be doing on the street.
The goal is to not use all the tyre if you can avoid it, that way you have more margin for error.
Enjoyed some properly warm weather first time this spring, aswell as some country roads.
Got my external mic for the GoPro this week, but the chinese adapter cable doesn't seem to work at all... will need to order a genuine mic adapter and a 90 degree adapter on top of that, why can't anything work how it's supposed to on the first try?
Yeah, I get lumped in with the 1%ers, but this kind of crap is nonsense.
I don't have anything to do with this sort of thing or really know much about it. I stay away from patches.
The bar by my house has been taken over by the bandidos/amigos clubs. Every Tuesday, they have a ton of bikers there. Various clubs. Almost all are the Bandidos "little league teams"
You can tell by the colors.
I wonder what they're going to be like tomorrow when I ride by? I wonder how many federal agents are going to be swarming the place?
I don't know what's going on with those people and I don't want to know.
I do know that anyone with a ponytail on two wheels is gonna get hassled by the cops state wide for a while thanks to these people.
If the Bandidos really did put a green light on the cops..... Jesus. It's going to suck around here.
Some trouble in bike land for me today. It's got this very apparent stutter when trying to accelerate hard in a higher gears like 4th and 5th
(5 speed). Whilst 1st 2nd and 3rd seem to be absolutely fine.
My friendly mechanic suggested I'd check the crabs for contaminants in the fuel like water or hard residue from the tank.
So I checked by emptying the float chambers on 2 of the carburettors. The one on the far left and the far right. The left hand one emptied quite fast, but appeared to have what looked like tiny water droplets in it. Whilst the one on the right dripped fuel at an almost asthmatic rate and quantity. It also looked like it had some hard black coal like residue in it. Perhaps some old solidified petrol that accumulated in that carb?
I recently performed a spark plug and air filter change. And it's been doing this since my last fill up. Could I have some form of petrol contamination going on? Or is my bike somehow running either supper rich or way to lean at full throttle?
Are there still things I could check with very limited tooling and experience?
From what you said about the carbs, I would pull them off, tear them all apart, and clean everything. Carb cleaner through every air and fuel passage way.
You also said you changed the plugs, did you gap them correctly? Gap might be too large. As you said you have limited experience, you should start with checking the plugs. From the little information given, I would guess there is debris caught somewhere that is causing fuel starvation under heavy load.
This will sound stupid, but it might work. It WILL work if it's a case of bad gas. What you need is about 1-3 grams ( a bottle cap full) of acetone.
You can buy it off the shelf labeled as fuel stabilizer. Various brands make it. Sea Foam is popular.
Or you can raid your sister's room and steal some fingernail polish remover - it's the same thing.
Pour some of that in your tank first. Yeah. It sounds like you have bad gas. If that's the case, this trick should do just fine. It'll also increase the performance of your bike for a little bit. Over do it though and all your gaskets start to corrode.
This trick requires no tools. Only an ability to loosen and tighten gas caps
Also, with rice burners, especially older or higher mileage bikes, a little gunk in the carbs really isn't a bad thing.... a LITTLE bit that is. It helps with sealing things. If you do a rebuild on the carbs and clean off ALL that build up you're going to get some vacuum loss (learned this the hard way)
Uh you mentioned performance slacking on acceleration in 4th and 5th, but not the other gears. Unless you're changing from 1st, 2nd and 3rd in lower rpms than what you're doing at 4th and 5th.
But are you getting any sort of popping sound?
One more word of advice, unless you're a mechanic, DON"T take off the carbs from the motor. You do that, you clean the carbs, replace the parts that need it, get the vacuum seal up just right.... when it comes time to put them back on the bike, you now have a worse problem for yourself than when you started. You now have to sync the carbs. And that's a pain.
Man.... Getting a lot of dirty looks from the po po after the Waco incident. Yeah, they know what they can do with their dirty looks.
There's supposed to be a support rally called 1 for all this Sunday.
Was going to go even though I think I like clubs less than the cops.
Looked up a couple of clubber web sites and am more worried about getting into a wreck with a weekend warrior.
Oh well, hopefully the Bandidos will take care of this stupid problem - and thin both herds out in the process.
No... this is a little different than just that. It's how the police handled it and apparantly are getting away with it.
I guarantee you that out of those 150 plus "OMG" in there, very few are in any of the fighting clubs or had a clue about what was going on. Most of those people are just idiot weekend warriors. The ons that watch the sons of anarchy too much. Not the real deal. But thanks to the over action, quite a few people have lost jobs over this that don't need to be in there in the first place. And there are questions as to what bullets went where. Even as much as who fired the first shot.
Like I said, I could care less for that whole scene. I had a co-worker, who now sells Harleys that was all into that crap and bugged me about joining her going to them stupid things. All it really is, as far as I can tell, the whole Confederation of Clubs thing, To me is a bunch of yahoos paying the Bandidos for the privilege of having a "MC" on a stupid vest. Some Bad ass bikers they are. Most wouldn't know what a clutch cable was if it b it them on the ass. But all that aside, That really isn't the point. This is just more of the same Ferguson crap, just with a new and more colorful cast.
I made the mistake of going on a toy run once. It almost got us killed. (cars weaving in and out plus a lot ALOT of inexperienced riders) I really don't think I'll be going, Plus, Waco sucks in general.
Anyhow, Weird ass helmet. Looks cool. Kinda like that old Black Sabbath Album cover.
I wouldn't say I necessarily like Suzukis, they just happened to have the best bike (SV650) for the class I wanted to race in (Ultra Lightweight or Lightweight Twins). The only other choice was a Ninja 650 (aka EX650), which makes less power and otherwise appears to be an inferior bike. Also, the SV650 is still fairly competitive in Lightweight and D class against the likes of the air-cooled Ducatis (e.g. 1000DS).
In the future, I intend to move up to Middleweight or C class, which means picking among the Big Four's 600 supersports.
