Biggest tool in the box, saying hello :")

[mcprocrastina...]

Hi guys, figured id say hello, and then run to shudder in the corner at the thought of all the quirky comments likely to come my way lol.

Well Hi.

Ok, so now that went down remarkably well, hmm, maybe that because I've not posted it yet, god shut up, on point son. I have an issue, not a real issue, but a completely self derived in my head, first world problem issue, that when I think of it, probably will bring the wrath of the motorcycle Gods down on me, hmm to run or not....

I have a CBR1000RR fire blade 2015 model, it was upgraded from a 2011 CBR fireblade Repsol model, it's a long story but the repsol was amazing but flawed, without going into to much detail, I had to change it. That pushed me into a bike that I was not 100% sure on, and now I'm sh*t up the shovel with what to do as I want to change it.

This brings me to my next subject, I'm not the most decide-ably, decisive person in the world, and often do a particularly amazing job of beating the salesman to the sales punch, by doing his job for him, on myself - I know ridiculous right! Ok, so to the point, I decided being its midlife crisis and all, and well the Mrs don't give me much love these days, emm, none really, like totally none, seriously, we had 4 kids, that's her, I'm screwed 20 years married and wondering what to do with all my free time. Oh that's right, it made complete sense to get into vlogging. I know I hear it now, that thunderous lighting sparking in the sky, getting ready to strike!

However, Vlogging aside, I'll plug that at the end if I'm still alive that is - I have it down to 2 Bikes, both very different, I'll link them in so you can see - Kawasaki 2015 ZX10R and Aprilia Tuono 1100 Factory. So putting it out there, does anyone own these bikes and how do you love them and what are the reasons. I'm probably a couple of weeks away from deciding but am extremely hesitant due to previous error in rushed judgement.

Thoughts, yea yea, I'll take the flack, I'm Scottish in NZ, how hard can it be - wish my wife asked me that haha.

what about the VR360 capture vids, the tuono walkaround and kawasaki zx10 walkaround (the two bikes I can;t decide between) + my long term cbr1000rr review :") those other vids are to help others, 15 years previous motortrade, if I can help others, then win.....

But yes your probably right, boring - lols ahwell 7/0 right now.

[recman]

[mcprocrastina...]

lol nope 7 negatives above, at least I think it was 7 negatives. Shiver me timbers I don't rem it ever being this hard to engage with people, I am many things but I'm not a spammer, however in hindsight I can see the logic.

Community engagement perhaps would have been a better approach than just dumping an almighty shit fest of problems in one go. Well you live and learn, and I don't think it takes to much of a response to get the general gist of feelings.

But it is kinda disappointing, I mean its a genuine issue I have. You know what I've had like near 20 bikes over last 15 years, all because I was never into bikes, and my enthusiasm and complete lack of bike knowledge and uneducated ideas around what i should get for my skill level made me numerous a mistake. And for once, this latest rendition (had a 7 year hiatus when I came to NZ, went back to Uni so could not afford a bike :"() was because the bike I got, which was amazing had issue so had to go back to dealer.

So hear I am, building a channel about my stupidity, sharing my knowledge from my experience both industry and personal to be part of a normally great community. I guess perhaps i'm true to the titles description a complete tool out of his depth with motorcycle enthusiasts not open to my story.

It could be worse I guess, I could have no bike!

You may be right, but I guess I'm a tad caught up with the tech, its kinda cool, so making that commitment to cut out more is probably going to take some time. I have removed quite a few videos as my experimenting continues. But yes your probably right - All of what I do is in the ride and in the moment, but perhaps that can be long drawn out for some.

I'll take your point, and I am working to improve all the time, although I suppose when you see/say how shit it is, its probably not fast enough. that being said its only been going like 2.5 weeks and hey who knows what I'll do - once I get my new bike, put some vids, grab a gopro, it may all just flitter away. But the negatives aside, I enjoy it.

You know I was a bit confused at first with the negativity, but yes I do get it, I have probably barged into a nice little community a little on the loud side. And look I do apologize it was not my intention.

Cheers

For 360 videos to be cool, there needs to be something interesting.

[rpsmith79]

[mcprocrastina...]

see thats the problem right there - The tech, Plus great weather, plus my commute = me thinking that is bloody awesome. Hindsight being a wonderful thing, (Although I still think it is), but I will be looking to go to nice spots in Wellington and further afield in NZ, especially Taupo, damn that place is amazing to grab 360 footage.

And trust me 360 while its super cool, a kind of novelty item (Have the VR Gear headset to go with it) it's bloody long time processing and painful editing process leaves lots to be desired. So ultimately I will probably have 360 samsung camera + gopro (or possibly somthing sim Hj4000 maybe) and run with that. Capturing 360 where i think its worth it.

Curious, what sort of things would you want to see in 360? What would be interesting to you - would it be like offroad or somthing?

[mcprocrastina...]

Jeepers, well that was a toasty entry. Thanks for that assurance RPsmith79, I thought man this is a tough old entry, crash and burned right there. If only I can spray some water over the fire and regain some form of lower being to continue with my damn question ZX10r or Tuono, so far ive got 2 on the tuono and the rest on, well you guessed it "get a life you idiot".

I guess I was asking for that one.

Its quite an interesting concept this whole karma thing, so I'm pretty much battered down to lowest level plus 1, so question is there any chance of redemption here or am I utterly toast?

Perhaps this is a rather silly question to ask my toasters, but none the less, hoping perhaps some blessing from the gods will bestow some empathy my way and actually will bring about an answer to at least one of my questions!

[mcprocrastina...]

haha Nuts, I'll happy let you take that now, however not sure the toasting Amigos above would agree, but who knows, maybe ill get cut a tiny piece of slack, hmm maybe.
