Yesterday evening I took my new GoPro Hero camera out for a spin on the Yamaha XS850SG (still no name). This ride was a two-fold affair. I was both testing out mounting locations for the GoPro Hero camera and also seeing how the freshly overhauled XS850 is riding. The motorcycle is performing admirably. The camera mounting locations still need a little work in order to minimize vibration issues. The video below is a compilation of my mounting experiments.
Another PC800 Sighting in Corvallis
Yet another sighting of a PC800 in Corvallis was had! I’m not sure if this guy is local or just stopped in at the Broken Yolk Cafe for a late lunch. Does anyone know who this gorgeous 1989 PC800 belongs to?
Reattaching the SuperVisor
My SuperVisor detached from my helmet’s face shield coming back from the POPCORN ride in September. After about 10k miles I’m told this isn’t uncommon if you are wearing it on a bike without a windshield. Since I used to have helmet buffeting issues, I will give SuperVisor the benefit of the doubt. It did last 10,000 miles which, when you think about it, really isn’t all that bad for a few piece of plastic and sticky tape.
The sticky tape and primer are curing as I type this. By Tuesday it should be fully cured and ready to ride. Good thing I have my older helmet still kicking around 🙂
