Title: 2 Kymcos, 2 brothers and 140 miles of twisties.
Post by: WT100 on August 31, 2010, 02:01:57 PM

Well my "Brother from another mother" who taught me to ride when i was 14 has moved back to town and we're riding together again after almost 20 years.  He got his Super 8 first and i got mine about a month later.  This weekend we did a run down the twisties that surround Branson MO.  Less than 2 weeks old and i'm just shy of 600 miles.  I guess you could say i like this scoot.   ;D

Very nicely made video.

Wish i could made videos like that. I got a digital camera. It can record video also but i have nothing to mount it with and also i think it would vibrate alot.

What did you use to film it and how did you manages to attach the camera to the scooter ?

Hey thanks.  I use a Countour HD POV camera.  It comes with little velcro mounting disc that i attached to the black plastic right above the passenger foot rest.  I have found that the lower middle section of a scoot is the best "low vibration" spot to mount cameras.  Passenger footrest is a good place to start.
