Is that around Weesp? Perhaps you can show the forum your Lekdijk ride. Enjoy!  |

I'll ride it on Saturday probably.
I work freelance and have had some calls for work this week.
Therefore Saturday is the only option left.

It's a GoPro HD Hero. It's pretty cheap now, because they have released an upgraded version: GoPro HD Hero2. I film in 720p 25fps (pal) But I could also film in better quality: 720p 50fps or 1080p 25fps. The side effect of better quality is larger files.... and that I don't want (old computer, small storage space) Last part, cut the most boring parts out: I don't know why you can't watch it in 720p..... |

Your mirrors are kinda like mine http://nighthawk-forums.com/index.php/topic,6489.300.html I like mine over OEM... How the heck does a fire truck get down that road if needed  |

I believe my mirrors are OEM 1986 nighthawk mirrors to be honest... P.S. our firetrucks aren't as big as yours. Everything is bigger in the USA  |

Neet, I was in Costco today looking at a GoPro, wasn't a 1080 but was HD, $135, but I passed on it..... I still can't believe those are called Roads.... Funny, just after you pass the car the white lines dissapere.

Nice video. especially because you changed bikes. Is the other bike a VF750F? About the same age as yours I think. I think you missed the best place for a coffee brake in Nieuwpoort. Right across the townhall, there is a cafe with terrace. (open after 11.00 AM)

Thank you! Yes, the other bike is a 1983 VF750F. It rides totally different than my Nighthawk. I noticed that I could enter corners faster than on the Nighthawk, because it makes you feel more secure. I think it's because of the riding position. |

I thought to myself: "Would there be specific wishes for videos of certain landmarks from the Netherlands?". I.O.W.: "What would you like to see?" Maybe I can fulfill your wishes   |

Great video. Excellent sound quality. Where is your camera mounted? The sound of the stock exhaust when the 700 gets up on the cams is fantastic to me. She sings, but its not so loud that your neighbors want to shoot ya.
The 350 four is one sweet motorcycle. She runs out of nuts as you climb your powerband, but I bet she is a hoot to ride in the twisties.

Thnx hppants. The camera is mounted on the rear cowl with the GoPro suction cup. I like the exhaust note as well, especially it's gargle when I close the throttle, but this is probable the last video with the modified exhaust though. I will fix the holes by adding rivets to shut it up. The 350 really is a 70ies bike and therefore IMO not a great twisties bike. The tires are awful compared to modern tires/bikes. If you wanna ride the twisties on a light bike, go look for a CB-1. Those bikes are great fun  |

The weather is clearing, so no frost and snow anymore :) I need to scrub in my new front tire.... If I've done that I will shoot a nice twisties vid with a lot of action and "racing"  Can't wait to open up the throttle on the Lekdijk (see previous vids) |

Nice video. Where is that? Looks familiar.
When it's getting a bit warmer and the salt is of the streets, I'll take mine out for a ride.

Sure thing, just to bad that OhCrap fell in love with his TDM. The Nighthawk isn't doing it for him anymore...  |
