Because this is something you will be adding to every video you upload then there is a problem with it ... its far too long! People that have already seen the intro several times will be bored and just want to skip straight to the action. If you are going to have an intro, then it should be as short as possible ... 5 seconds maybe? The only exception to this is if there is a different intro on every upload and then that intro could be short clips of what is coming up in the video ... then its fine to have a longer intro as people won't get bored waiting for the video to start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an amazing vid to show how things are in Jakarta. Probably the only video I have seen where I spent the entire duration watching it with a wince on my face and one eye closed. Man that was scary The funny thing is, I can't help feeling that to ride in such conditions dictates that everyone is probably more alert and reactive than the myopic idiots we have over here. Pro rata, I wonder if there are actually fewer collisions. That said, there must be quite a few road rash victims given no one seems to wear any protection! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the third world LOL... Yes, we are mostly forced to be more alert whenever we are on the road here in Jakarta, but idiots do exist as well here. Many considered the weather is too hot for wearing enough protection, but actually most Indonesians just don't care enough. Life is cheap here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pro rata, I wonder if there are actually fewer collisions. Indeed, some sources seem to corroborate this! https://bigthink.com/want-less-car-accidents-get-rid-of-traffic-signals-road-signs Having grown up in 'third world' countries. I can also confirm that I seem to see traffic accidents more frequently around here than in my youth, though that might be completely biased as I probably also spend much more time on the road as an adult, than I did as a kid.

Popular Post Albatross Posted June 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 18, 2020 This is from a person who couldn’t make it click for 3 weeks and thought that he would never ride one of these. Look at me testing the speakers on my new (used) Tesla V2, that’s my attempt at dancing at slow speed. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might that have helped in this case? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lenses are scratched but on the side pointing away from me. So if I keep the POV towards me I may be able to salvage the camera 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ..... Posted June 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 19, 2020 @Marty Backe Doh, that sucks. Quite a rush I bet... nothing like that adrenaline time warp when shit goes south. Glad you're okay. Was going backwards a decision you made, as I heard you decided to bail? I always assumed a bad wobble would en up with a broken jaw and front damage. Good to see there's choices. Hate to see a man with so many miles under him, come off a wheel with so little outside variables or equipment to blame. Tick tick tick, the clock is running and falling down is on the schedule somewhere it seems. Hope you arent too sore tomorrow, thanks for sharing! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really, really thought you were going to ride that one out though. I was waiting for you to either speed up a bit or shift weight around but I guess you made the decision it was beyond saving. Sometimes its just impossible I guess. I have had one that bad before (I have only had wobbles under braking) but I was in a position where I had started my braking early and all I did was lean forward a bit - prob not deliberate but more of an 'oh shit' reaction and sub consciously stopped braking - which stopped the wobble immediately, then re-started braking whilst carving and all was good. It looked like you were going downhill though so options for backing off were probably limited, plus carrying a big ass stick which as we know can be a bit of a nightmare. Really happy for you that you geared up! @stephen looks like it was the MSP mate going by the twin headlights. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camenbert Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Hello Marty, On motorcycle, wobble can happen when bearing start to get some play. I had that time to time to see failure of the bearing 20.000 km later. Maybe a good idea to check this on your wheel. Otherwise I start to see the airbag jacket like an obligatory option... Anyone use these already here ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erk1024 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 12 hours ago, Marty Backe said: Hey Marty! Scary stuff. I'm glad you didn't get too banged up. Wheels are trending up in size, and maybe that's a good thing? Certainly the Monster / Monster Pro has more wobble resistance with the larger diameter. The issue with the current Monster is low end torque / responsiveness. But if the Monster Pro handles that with a ridiculously powerful motor... I've been riding my V3 a lot lately because the top end performance and stability is so fun. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayRay Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 @Marty Backe Good to see you stand-up right after falling. That sort of fall will knock the wind (and confidence) out of you. We hope you recover soon; (now that the adrenaline has worn off). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
