Nighttime Freeway Ride 150 Miles Kymco AK 550
Переглядів 884 місяці тому
This was me taking the Kymco back to the house after repairs. Did about 150 miles on the Freeway during nighttime
My Mistake, Good thing I did not hit her (AK 550).
Переглядів 683Рік тому
This was my communication error. I thought she was giving me time to get into the parking space. I should of waited, so glad I did not run into her SUV. This would of been very embarrassing. Lesson learned is just to take my freaking time. Close calls, Motorcycle close calls. Kymco AK 550.

I should not be riding because of my pain, however I could not resist running a quick errand. I have been shooting with GoPro in flat mode. This video is a bit of a test after post production. I am slowly getting better at colour grading. One problem maybe that the footage may appear a bit saturated. I am working on improving it. FYI, I finally have my surgery date.
Kymco AK 550, This may be my last ride for awhile
Переглядів 4582 роки тому
Reality is setting in and this may be my last ride for awhile. Hopefully not for more than a few months. I have been experiencing some pain and have to get surgery. It is nothing serious, however it does prevent me from doing certain things. Will be visiting some great areas when I can ride longer distances. For now, my trips may just be to the grocery store and back. (2 mile ride).

    As an AK rider myself…..At 4 minutes why did you drop from 64 mph to 41 mph on the freeway? Also as a Commercial driver, I see a TON of dangerous places in this video. Be safe man. Learn to STAY away from large commercial trucks, stay out of the right lane until ready to exit, do NOT slow your speed while on the freeway to let people slower than you merge. Move over to the left when available, to prevent slowing down traffic behind you. Do NOT let other drivers “drive” your vehicle. Know the rules and laws and be safe. In a mere 40 seconds of this video, as a commercial driver AND an AK 550 rider, I saw sooooo many issues that could have gone bad. The worst one was STAY OUT of the right lane! Way too much going on in that region of the freeway. STAY away from anyone who is just “hanging” out in their lane. STAY away from commercial vehicles…They need their own space. Lastly my take away on this is……Be seen. Do NOT blend in. Get on the freeway…..Ride and get off. Don’t mingle with the crowd. I know you said you were about to exit but it was your set up for that exit that bothered me. Get on, ride and then get off. Complacency can kill you.

I didn't fall or anything; my problem was not looking straight ahead and working the throttle. That, and I have a tendency to out my right hand over the front brake all the time. I felt disappointed when I was told to go home. I guess I'm just looking for some encouragement.
