A ride through the woods...

That just makes me want to go out there and rip up the back woods.

Sweet vid. Link to camera used?

I watched it in "high res" this time. lol

The camera is the Go Pro Hero Wide Angle and YouTube butchers the quality. It looks twice as good on my computer. Also it looks MUCH better on Vimeo. Will put it there too so you can compare.

You can get the Go Pro Hero Wide from Yamaha. The part number is GCR-09NCA-WD-AG. I have one and I am very impressed with this little thing. What I don't like is the cheap ass brackets and quick disconnects they supply with the camera. Most all the plastic crap that came with mine is either broken already, or cracking apart and will be broken soon. The only nice piece that came with the camera is the suction cup mount. The camera itself is solid and so is the water proof case. And it does keep it waterproof. I have proven that already with some underwater shots of the lobsters at our docks. I'm in the process of making some of my own mounting brackets to fit the clear case. Something with some beef to it. Just thought I would throw that out there for those thinking of buying one, you may want to think of how you will mount it once you use up the cheap plastic stuff it comes with.

I extremely like this video. Great.
Have not yet ridden my WR (still stuck in snow, no papers, no numberplate, no big backyard :) ), but according to this video I will like it. However, I realize about your power modifications which should increase performance quite a lot I guess.
I will keep engine stock for some reasons. And for other modifications I can only say: Japan claims about bad economy but won't ship their parts to Europe where we are completely on our own at importing these parts from Japan. WR250R accessories parts list at our local Yamaha web pages are empty. Zero items. Even Yamaha dealers cannot help obtaining Yamaha parts not being at local disposal.

Oh that vid is MUCH better!!!

What's that "special sound effect" at 7:08?

Maybe a "Whoa Sh!t!". Sometimes I get excited and yell strange things and don't even know it till I watch the video. I was planning on posting that video and was trying to keep quiet and ride a little easier. I can dig into the archives and find some haulin' but, yelling and beeping horn as I blow by other bikes if you like! Or a slow over the bars creek crossing... I just need to start editing. Videos I posted so far are all one take. Thanks for watching.

Keep them coming

We don't have nice riding places like this, and I can only watch the video and view the photos...

The more the merrier
