Viosport Adventure Cam 3 arrived...

Viosport Adventure Cam IIIWe received our Viosport Adventure Cam 3 bullet camera. The unit appears to be finely crafted, and sturdy enough to take a reasonable amount of abuse, which is necessary when used on a sport bike or other motorcycle.

The mounting system included with the basic camera is pretty weak, though. It's basically nothing more than a section of extruded synthetic rubber, into which you slip the camera; the base of the mount is attached with standard Velcro. (The Velcro mount is probably sufficient to hold the camera mount securely; it's the mount itself that I'm interested in improving.)

Metzeler ROADTEC Z6

I just had a set of Metzeler MEZ6 tires (120/70ZR17 front, 180/55ZR17 rear) installed on my '98 CBR1100XX. I do more straight-up riding than I'd like to admit, so I tend to stay away from the hard-core sport compounds (otherwise, I end up with wearing out the center long before the edges), and I have always liked Metzeler tires on my Honda sport-touring bikes.

I'm somewhat surprised at the installed cost of the tires, though. Purchased from a retail shop in the Sacramento area, including mounting and balancing on the wheels that I brought in, the bill approached $380. Add to that the travel time to Sacramento (about an hour and a quarter one-way), fuel expenses, and hassle factor, the actual cost is well over $400.

Flossie, the Castrol robotic motorcycle rider...

The uber-techs at Castrol have been hard at work perfecting a bad-ass robotic test "rider". Well, it doesn't really ride, but it can sit atop the motorcycle and do all the throttle, clutch, and shift actions that a human rider does.

Among the many stated benefits:

Flossie can be fitted onto ...Read the rest »

The Amazing Ten-Year Motorcycle Battery

I replaced my motorcycle battery last week. It stopped holding a charge sometime this winter.

The amazing thing about this is that the battery was manufactured in 1997. That's right - ten years ago. It was the OEM YUASA YTX12-BS battery that was in the bike when I ...
