Enjoy a quick ride video! I took the Suzuki Bandit GSF1200S earlier this spring on a group ride from Anchorage to Hope, Alaska on the Seward Highway, along Turnagain Arm. When the weather is right it's hard to beat a group motorcycle ride in Alaska!
Let me give a quick shout out to Kevin Gearhart for pulling this ride together. Thanks for the invite! / killagiant907

That's cool man. I am genuinely touched that you thought of me . Was the GoPro mount just stuck on the brake Res.? Gonna borrow that idea if you don't mind. I took some shots for my last video using an elastic strap type GoPro chest mount, but put it on in reverse and filmed looking back. Turned out pretty well.
@KARMAkazeMoto 5 жыл бұрын
Exactly right. Works well. This particular mount is actually from my old camera. Just a ball/socket type with standard camera mount 1/4" threaded top. I used an adapter to put the GoPro on, which raises it up a little. However, that ball/socket joint needs to be tight so that wind doesn't push the GoPro over. That happened to me toward the end of my video. Looking at my chest and pants. But if you just stick the GoPro click-mount right down, that'll work perfect!

5:55 I love those powerbank jumpstarters. My brother had one and boy are they great. :D SO compact! It amazes me. He says it can even jump 8-cylinder vehicles. Nuts! 2:23 That was a nice little jaunt you had (especially great going with a group and having the camaraderie). What a beautiful view. It reminds me, and eggs me on to ask myself, "Why am I not getting out there to view the world/country?" Just attended my dear uncle's memorial/funeral (He was 89), and it just reminds me, we have this one life to live. Make the most of it.

Nothing I love more than compliments on the Bandit. I love that bike! I know a lot of viewers are here for the Himalayan stuff, but the Bandit is my go-to ride. The exhaust on that was this off-brand, GP style that you can get through eBay. Full stainless construction, made really well, sounds great, easy install, etc. Carbs needed jetting and needles raised, but I enjoyed doing that. I'll put a link in the description in case anyone wants to look into it. Thanks Backpacker Deep!

Nice job picking up on that sound! I LOVE my exhaust. GP style, one of the niceest yet cheapest options out there, ships fast, sounds great and has held up for years now. Stainless construction and made really well. Super easy install. Here's the link: karmakaze.co/ebay-bandit-exhaust It'll take you to eBay. This muffler fits many years of the Bandit. And hey, don't use the baffle. It's loud in front of the garage, but when you're in the open... not too bad. Just right. You'll need to reject and raise your needle up in the carbs.

He has some trouble on hot days, but I think he needs some tuning done. Never been interested in Harley personally, but I can't fault anyone for getting out on their two wheels for a ride like this. Such a great day! Thanks for watching Jeff! 👍
