pivot video glasses are cool and not cheap. Surprisingly excellent picture and sound. Do people suspect they are being video'd and recorded?

I didn't like them at first because i had them in set at 720dpi and the field of view was not great. On this trip i used them at 1080dpi for the first time and they worked perfect. Even people that know i have the glasses forget that they have a recorder in them. The only down side is you only get about an hour of video time out of them.

Its seems like the GW is a little steep for MaryKay. And that she's a situation waiting to happen every ride.

I've helped a 2 wheeled damsel in distress a bunch of times over the years. One time even one that thought she was out of gas....she'd forgotten to turn the gas to "on". One whose bike fell over as she pulled into a gas station. Still another whose bike wouldn't start for wiring issues. Seems like the chivalry thing to do at the time?

Yea thats why i always stay behind her. She like to go fast and one day shes going to pay the price.

By the looks of the 2 video's she doesn't appear to make the adjustments about the mechanics, which is strange being she's an experience rider. The bike must just really be too much for her and everyone knows it but her? Was that her first ride on the bike?

I believe she has well over 30,000 miles on the wing.

If you turn the volume all the way up on both videos you can hear that the engine was revving wide open. Like she grabbed the clutch or was in neutral.

Plus she's a women and she should be making sandwichs, watching the kids or cleaning the house and not riding anyways. That way she wouldn't be having motorcycle issues now would she?

I spotted her as a bad rider first time out with her - she couldn't make a simple U turn on a 2 lane road. Then needed assistance from another rider once we hit a gravel parking lot. I too thought she just got the bike and needed practice but then found out she had it over a year and a half with over 25k miles. So her ego is writing checks her body/skill set can't cash. :icon_bang:

As it was it took 2 guys just to pick that beast back up. :icon_eek:

1)she'd be best to retake the MSF course again
2)invest in "Ride Like a Pro " or if you like and care about her take up a collection and buy her one? Direct her desire to ride in the right direction for her own good. Look past thatshe rides a GW,lol.

And like always we're just talking and exchanging thoughts and ideas. Not saying what my thoughts are is the way to go. Just worried for her and others who may be potentially impacted by her actions.

Great Suggestions but this woman has an ego bigger that her bike. I have some video of that day where she's blaming everyone and everything but herself for what happened that day.
