Default Let's talk lines....

I know this is vague or general and curves are different, but generally what type of line do you take for a given curve? Perhaps you have pics of you in said curve? Video in said curve?

I was thinking about the guys I ride with, we all ride drastically different in the curves, but with the exception of one rider are all about the same pace.

Not sure I'm making sense

Depends on the curve and a lot of other variables.

I ride outside the curve to the apex and then back to the outside again...
left hand corner, start to the right of the lane come to the left at the apex and drift back to the right of the lane.

Of course, Bro! I have it set up to mount on my tail so you can just use my bike if you want or I'll bring the extra sticky pads with me if you are uncomfortable with using my bike.

Yea,if you go to http://www.goprocamera.com/index.php...2&productid=18 You can order a bunch of mounts. I think I saw them cheaper somewhere else but I'm not sure... if you get this kit, you can put mounts anywhere you want on your bike. You should prep the surface and let the tape set-up a few hours before you mount the camera anyway. Try and place them in spots where we can tie off the tether to something solid just in case. The tether is about 1' long fyi. If I find that kit cheaper, I'll let you know.

If you put it on the back like that. there should be a good place to tie it off under the seat.
