Metzeler MEZ6 Rear - close up: Fitted to a 1998 CBR1100XX.

Yesterday I rode from home to the Amador County fair, via Volcano and Fiddletown. I had a chance to throw the bike around a bit, as there are some nice road sections on that route.

The Viosport camera mounting kit has arrived (actually, it arrived last week, but I've been tied up with other things) - we'll check it out and include it in our forthcoming Viosport Adventure Cam 3 review.

I was searching the web for "motorcycle bank angle detection" because, for a few years now, I've been thinking it must be possible to have your headlights aim into a turn when you lean into sharp turn on twisty mountain roads.

Seems I'm behind the curve (ahem) yet again.

Viosport is sending us a mounting kit to be used with the Viosport Adventure Cam 3 that we received recently. When the new hardware arrives, we'll give it a thorough workout as part of the upcoming Adventure Cam 3 review.

Two items of interest to motorsports video buffs

Another cage driver kills a biker. This was a seriously messed-up situation.

The biker, Gregory Clyde Shannon, of Placerville, California, was minding his own business, when along comes a suspected drunk driver in a pickup truck, and hits him head-on. Hit him hard enough to knock the driver's side front wheel off the truck.

The truck driver leaves the scene, still driving the truck sans front wheel. Sparks flying.

Adding insult to injury, it appears that the truck driver continued on for 7 miles - starting numerous brush fires and totally destroying three homes in the process.
