Allround Horseshoe-Testing on gravel roads
« on: May 11, 2017, 08:46:01 PM »
Today I accidentaly came past some rural gravel roads outside of town. Well, it wasn´t that accidentaly in fact after all and so it happened what must have happened.  ;D
I tested the new allround horse-shoes a bit. Pretty good grip here, no complaints whatsoever.   8)
And I made some nice pictures I guess, which I wanted to share with you.  ;)

After that gravel ride I found some lonely paved side roads where I forced some really extreme twisties. Unfortunately I don´t have pictures from that testing, because I had nobody for videotaping or taking pictures, but I can only say that these tires stick to the pavement like a strong glue despite of the open thread design. Fantastic. I took it to the extreme and could make the centerstand scratch on the pavement several times. These tires never slided, not even one tiny little bit. Therefore seem to be made for kneeslider operation as well.  ;D

That was kind of a fun afternoon today.  :)

After all I also discovered the disadvantages of the Kymco Topcase. During this training session I got some really good banging and clonking noises
from behind me. I will need to think about a better and stronger gasket for that Topcase Cover. I stopped twice, just to see if something broke off there...but it didn´t.  ???
Cheers,
Robo

This, is what is needed for filming yourself riding on a pre-set course.

The video presentations are kinda fun !

They are a little pricey.

Firstly I use Microsoft Office 2010 Picture Manager (can be downloaded and installed individually via Microsofts Share Point Designer for free) to edit the Pictures (cut them, optimize them, rezize them/compress them). Each picture afterwards should not exeed ~200kb filesize. I keep these weboptimized pictures in a seperate folder within the folder of the original pictures.
Secondly I then write my post and edit that.
Thirdly I klick on the "Attachement and other options" bold text underneath the text-window and then search for my weboptimized pictures on my
harddisk and link them in, one after the other. Maximum is 4 pics per post and they must not exceed 1024kb in total (all 4 pics together)!
Works pretty well, at least most of the time.

Mac, if you're using an Android smartphone you can download the Tapatalk app and can download up to 4 pics per post without editing the pics provided they're in your phone.
