Onboard Gopro video of a fast cornering ride on my motorbike. The video shows the Malojapass from Vicosoprano to Maloja (Switzerland), Google Maps: http://goo.gl/maps/K5AeR Gopro Hero 2 and Zoom H1 are used to record video and sound, sound level is tuned with wavelab, the video is synchronized and edited with openshot. The Zoom H1 is located under the seat in front of the backlight, where normally the tool kit is stored. To prevent the Zoom H1 from bumping around, I wrapped some foam around it. The motorcycle is a Suzuki GS 500, built in 2004, restricted to 25 kw / 34 hp. Michelin Pilot Street are used on the bike, the first radial tyres in these narrow dimensions. Filmed on September 1st, 2013. It usually has more cars on that street, but I waited for a gap between the cars and stopped between part 1 and 2 to be at the end of the gap (when driving like in the video, I'm usually much faster than an average car driver, especially in corners with such a big lean angle). Before such a fast ride, I drive the route at least once before filming to improve the lines threw the corners and to learn about dangers like gravel on the street or construction zones.
