Thank you. And thanks John. There are a few other pics in my 8th gen thread. I'd love to get either a type r wing, mugen rr, or modulo. Leaning towards the type r one since it's still tall but smaller than the mugen one.
As long as you get all the snow. I hate snow. Everybody gets crazy like the world is gonna end. Kinda like how when it rains people here drive like they've never driven in it before. It's freakn Washington and we get rain 300 days out of the year!Word. I'm actually hoping it does snow again. I want to record myself sliding around town.
I'm trying to find a good way to mount the camera so you can see everything. I think in the video of my spirited drive, that was good. The problem is the camera mount falls off after a while. After I stopped recording, I just left it up on the window and it randomly fell during my drive home. Scared the s*** out of me lol. It's a really good thing they come in an enclosed case, otherwise it probably would've damaged the front lens or something.
Considering making like a ghetto home made mount using PVC pipe, drilling holes and sliding it underneath the headrest, and having a flat surface to suction the mount onto. Not sure how that'd fly though LOL. Or I could use the double sided tape sticky mounts and make it permanent.
showed this to anf earlier figured i'd post it here.
it isn't a new bike or anything but some of u might find it interesting.

it;s more about the suspension up front. plus the flat twin 
So a sports bike that the front is stretched w/ different motor, rather than stretching the rear? So it's a wanna be chopper.showed this to anf earlier figured i'd post it here.

I can't tell..what was the bike originally? Where did you find this? I want to read up on it. I would think it would be difficult to handle since you're still leaning like you would on a sport bike.
Yeah the front suspension caught my eye but s**t....I didn't even notice the flat twin. I saw the one "exhaust manifold" (if that's what you call it on a bike lol) but I didn't bother looking on the other side of the bike! That's sick!it;s more about the suspension up front. plus the flat twin
that bike is Stellan Egeland's BMW Harrier
The front isn't stretched out it's got a swing arm going to the front wheels instead of the forks like u normally see. then steering is controlled by push pull cables.

another example with a slightly different setup is the Bimota TESI 3D
it;s more expensive setup and since most people learn on a fork bike it feels different.
when u brake on a normal bike it dives forward because of the forks. but on those the braking force is transmitted horizontally through the swing arm part and the whole bike stays basically flat
so there's not as much feel from the bike to the rider. and fork technology has just been around forever.
i like the idea of the pvc pipe with 4 holes that the headrest things will slide go into then you can put a bolt through the pvc pipe to hold the camera (assuming the bottom of your camera has a thing to mount on a bolt
*****
i can't wait to ride a bike again..sadly my brother had to sell his bike so i stopped riding
Just pumped Regular @ 3.89/Gal. 20 buckaroos got me 5 Gallons, Half a Tank. Gas station was 3 miles from my house. Closest gas station is actually .8miles way, but fuel is 4.08/Gal for regular there.
:edit:
That looks like it'll work just find Anfrey. Easy to make too. Grab some stock from Ace hardware, drill a couple holes, add that screw.

you could always play in the mudWord. I'm actually hoping it does snow again. I want to record myself sliding around town
