Thanks @Choko , I'll tell you I'm straight jealous of that beautiful blue tank

There is a corner where you start to shift the perspective in the middle of the curve.  It almost looks like you laid the bike down…

I know it's the fisheye lens plus the 360, but for a second...

@goosehd was a tiring day through those hairpins. gotta catch a rest while I can.

Cool video @louisbosco

The shifting perspective makes for a very flowing and inmersive feel. At some points it is hard to understand what kind/degree of a curve it is as the shifting perspective fools the viewer. For a while it gave the impression that the bike’s dash was misaligned with the axis of the bike! Thank you for sharing!

@motojobobo

cheers mate!

I think there's always gonna be a misalignment when I can't mount the camdead centre. realise it when I was looking through some clips for a screenshot. that said, the constant hairpins was a little hard to edit. I just didn't know where to put it key frame at otherwise it might rotate too quick..

@Dmart:

Perfect! The Ural is yours?

Yep. After 27 years of motorcycling I’d grown bored. I decided i needed something completely impractical to reignite my passion. So far so good. Plus my dog loves it.

@Bfd70 Absolutely love to see an Ural on here!

[Dmart]

Glad your mentioning it. I haven’t lost passion in riding yet, but I always want to go on a ride with my best four legged buddy.
Would love to hear how it works for you and your dog. Pictures would be nice as well.

@Bfd70 I've always thought a sidecar would be awesome, but have never ridden with one.  What is it like?  Does it change the dynamics?

[Dmart]

I would imagine it being more like a trike and loosing the agility and obviously no leaning.

[Bfd70]

Totally changes the dynamic. Ride a bike, drive a side car. No leaning. No counter steering. Turns, particularly right handers (assuming hack is on the right) need to be taken cautiously. 100 miles to get pretty comfortable and 200 to be very comfortable. The set up is quirky and unrefined. I love it.

do you go with the sandbag in the sidecar strategy to help with balance? 

[Dmart]

I would use my 40kg Labrador for balancing

Didnt need sandbags at all
