I don't want to come off as if I'm beating you over the head but more of a brotherly love of correction. I can't help but to cringe every time I hear someone downshift without matching rpms (throttle blipping) and the transmission gears clunking like that. It's a necessary skill for any manual transmission even with a slipper clutch.

One of the best examples of staying in an rpm range, blipping the clutch, and controlling the bike is non other than Ghost Rider himself. He does an excellent job of matching rpm's and staying in the "power zone". That is the rpm range that your particular bike has the most acceleration torque and the most engine braking. It's a skill that needs to be mastered but it takes practice. For the 600RR that range is 9-15k rpm's. Notice where ghost rider stays in his rpm range?

All good still new so plenty of practice I still gotta do will definitely work on it

Hey Greg, what are you using to record? A helmet mounted GoPro? I'm looking to record some rides and would like some input.

Go pro hero 8 black mounted on my helmet the biggest issue I came across was the wind noise you can get a windslayer on Amazon for around 12 dollars and that should fix that issue if you look at the video I posted at the top and any of my other clips on YouTube you will see the difference a windslayer makes

Which mount are you using? An aftermarket "chin strap" mount or a GoPro mount?

I was planning on using my smartphone but you bring up a good point about wind noise.

I'm currently using this setup I found a better one on amazon that fits the helmet better haven't ordered it yet though I originally got a 50 piece set that had every mount but none that fit the helmet this one has some 3m tape on steroids I'm not sure if you plan on going fast or not but in case your wondering how well it sticks mine has held firm through 145-150 mph without coming loose or moving any

I looked at some of those kits with the 3M tape. I actually have some of the tape that I use on other things but I'm not likely to trust tape. I've learned one thing, if it's not bolted to the bike securely safety wire it with a tether. I lost my tag and tag light about a month ago on a long 100 miles trip through the back country. The new tag bracket is safety wired and another wire goes to my tag itself.

I was thinking about sticking a dash cam to the tank... (Only because I have 2 of them still & no car)

& using a battery tender to USB adapter to power it...

But it would be pretty worthless video from that angle with the black windscreen.
