Review | Vantrue F1 motorcycle dash camera

Image
Sherbert enjoyed a Vantrue F1 dashcam install in September 2024. So, how's it turned out? Utility The Vantrue F1 is a dash cam and not a substitute for an action or vlogging camera. It does record every minute of your ride from the front and rea cameras. That offers a way to relay moments of your journey to loved ones and to enjoy recounting "that overtake" or "ijiot" driver doing something stupid. Once set up, you can forget the Vantrue F1 is aboard. It starts up when the ignition is turned on and stays on until the ignition is off or you turn it off. It's that simple. Video options Using the Vantrue app we can set how the video is recorded. This includes its resolution and whether to combine the front and rear cameras in one screen on playback. There are some other settings to modify and you'll learn of those by downloading and reading the Vantrue F1 manual PDF . Sound options Not having read and understood the manual, I accidentally d...

The solution for GoldWing Centerstand weaklings

I'm a centerstand weakling. After 17 years hoiking my ST1300s on and off their centerstands easily, I just can't get Sherbert on their stand without injury. The weakest solution Max at Traxxion Dynamics says I'm a weakling. Chris the Cruiseman doesn't understand the issue for people under 3 meters tall and even Robert White, if more empathetic, doesn't really get the problem.  The problem is nothing to do with the "secret sauce" of planting both centerstand feet on the floor, although that is essential. It's not being able to hoik the beast up and over onto the centerstand, period. In case you've missed their combined athletics, here's the trio happily telling me I'm an idiot on YouTube. Robert White "Did you see how easy that was?" Chris Dickenson (Cruiseman) "I can even do it on these firm rubber tiles". Max McCallister "Truly, if you understand how to do it, it's really easy."

Michelin Road W GT rear tyre size

Image
Sherbert will need new shoes shortly and I'm a fan of Michelin rubber. So, it's with some joy I read Michelin have created a tyre set for the Goldwing 2018+. The interesting part is that the rear tyre is suplied in two sidewall sizes or 55mm and 60mm. Especially so when the OEM Bridgestone tire has a specific size. Why? Here's what I found out. Options for Different Riding Styles and Priorities Goldwing riders have diverse preferences. Some prioritize a plush, comfortable ride for long-distance touring, while others might desire a slightly more engaging and responsive feel for spirited riding on twisty roads. Offering two sizes allows riders to choose a tire that better aligns with their typical riding style. The aspect ratio of a tyre is the second number in the size designation. In this case 55 or 60, which affects the tyre's profile and therefore the bike's handling. A lower aspect ratio (55) generally means a shorter sidewall. This can lead to: ...
