Yes, I know. It's been about 6 months since my last upload. Life went a bit wonky and the channel had to take a back seat for a little bit unfortunately.
But, I'm back and starting off with nothing other than saying nothing really and talking a little bit of junk while I'm at it. I hope you guys enjoyed this one, and Hannah's new growl ;)

I won something!! The topic of this month is - "What's the worst thing that's happened to you because of nature, excluding crashes due to weather"
Here's my story:
Back in high school, I was on the way to my then girlfriend's place one lovely Saturday morning when something hit me on my leg. Nothing out of the ordinary as I was wearing shorts while riding. BIG MISTAKE! I reach down to my crotch region to scratch an itch and a wall of pain hits me in the crotch reason. WTF??? My penis is on f*cking fire!
I eventually get my my girlfriend's place and strip the lower half of my body down to birthday attire, and my penis is swollen as f*ck, with my girlfriend staring at me, horrified at what's unfolding infront of her! I'd been stung by a bee... ON THE COCKHEAD!!!!

I got pretty upset about the whole coffee pot thing. I need my morning coffee.
If you've checked my #grumpybearjune video, you'll know I'm planning on doing an exhaust modification to my bike. I've gone to Wicked Tuning to get a quote on the work and I'm happy with what Terry (the owner) and I have discussed. This should be coming soon, so stick around!

Bike: 2008 Yamaha YZF R6 Camera: Garmin Virb Elite @ 1080p30f Recorder: SGS3 Editor: Sony Vegas Pro 13VIPER IS BACK [AND SO ARE THE BAD DRIVERS]Viper13502016-05-24 | It's been a very long time since I've actually done a vlog. I've had so much going on in life so when I got this little break today, I decided I'd do a vlog, edit and upload all in one day.
Not much of a topic today. Just random stuff and a compulsory rant about bad drivers.
Bike: 2008 Yamaha YZF R6 Camera: Garmin Virb Elite @ 1080p30f Recorder: SGS3 Editor: Sony Vegas Pro 13MHM Track School Session 4 - Slow Group - 7 May 16Viper13502016-05-17 | Last session of the day with my confidence coming back nicely. Also did my fastest lap in this session even though I was very tired. Can only imagine what the MotoGP guys experience.
Bike: 2008 Yamaha YZF R6 Camera: Garmin Virb Elite @ 1080p30f Recorder: SGS3 Editor: Sony Vegas Pro 13MHM Track School Session 3 - Slow Group - 7 May 16Viper13502016-05-17 | Third session out on track. Getting my confidence back after having my moment on session 2.
I was still pretty damn scared getting back onto the throttle on the main straight which made me slow things down on the back straight as well.
Bike: 2008 Yamaha YZF R6 Camera: Garmin Virb Elite @ 1080p30f Recorder: SGS3 Editor: Sony Vegas Pro 13MHM Track School Session 2 - Slow Group - 7 May 16Viper13502016-05-17 | Second session out on Hannah for the day. Had a bit moment (it felt big) coming down the main straight when the handlebars started flipping side to side. This caused the brakes not to work at the end of the straight, which almost caused a bowel movement. So I pulled off, gathered myself and went back out again later for session 3.
Bike: 2008 Yamaha YZF R6 Camera: Garmin Virb Elite @ 1080p30f Recorder: SGS3 Editor: Sony Vegas Pro 13MHM Track School Session 1 - Slow Group - 7 May 16Viper13502016-05-17 | First track day on Hannah. Starting out the day with some attitude adjustment lectures before heading out for a two lap sighting of the track and showing us how to enter the pits safely.
This is so that riders who have never been on this track before can get familiar with the layout and get used to having all the space available to them unlike on the roads.
Bike: 2008 Yamaha YZF R6 Camera: Garmin Virb Elite @ 1080p30f Recorder: SGS3 Editor: Sony Vegas Pro 13DIY Headlight Protector: Part 1Viper13502016-04-18 | See part 2 of this video on NakedDave's channel here: youtu.be/KHiAy24CnOE
NakedDave and I decided to make our headlight covers after we reviewed my rearview footage at night. You can only see lights, and can't distinguish whether there are cars or bikes behind you.
Seeing as I do quite a lot of lane splitting, and winter is fast approaching, we thought some amber headlight covers will aid in being more visible and thus safer as well.
Recipe: Beer, Oven mitts, aluminium foil, perspex, oven, more beer, your best mate, patience, masking tape, felt, velcro tabs
1. Create a template of your headlight using the masking tape (I put talcum powder on the sticky bits to make it easier to deal with after removing it from the bike) 2. Using template, cut perspex to slightly oversize using a jigsaw 3. Heat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius 4. Cover headlight and surrounds with felt to protect the bike 5. Place perspex on top of foil in baking tray (stops it from sticking) and heat for approx. 5 minutes 6. Wearing oven mitts, take the perspex out the oven and mold over felt-covered headlight until cooled enough to be hard 7. Sand / grind off excess plastic 8. Carefully fix to bike using Velcro tabs

This took some deliberation as I had to prepare myself emotionally to stick something to my 'new' bike. This is just a short video of my commute home the other night and the stuff that happens, just so that I could play around with the different views.
The second camera angle came out much better than what I expected. I'm very happy with the result and will continue playing around with the different views and when to use which.

AAAND I STALLViper13502016-03-09 | Here's a short video of some commuting this week. I made this so I can upload a video of the incredible sound this bike makes. And I stalled my bike for the first time, at home, on camera. FAIL.
After the reveal video, some of my subs were asking for a video of me taking the bike a little higher into the rev range. Well here it is (Looking at you LawMongrel)

I've finally received my R6 and she's even better than I'd imagined. Mint condition, low mileage and a real looker. I'm beyond happy and couldn't have gotten better. She made our first date a very tough one, but I 'pushed' through and we're well on our way to becoming a great team.
Thanks to everyone for being so patient, and supportive during my stint on the CBR250. You're all awesome!

After editing and uploading this video, the transport company has arranged the bike to be collected and delivered after the weekend. So all the lies in this video are in fact not lies at all!
Needless to say, I'm bursting at the seams waiting for this bike. I'm so excited that I can't contain my smile (read bowel).

That's b*tch in one of South Africa's eleven native languages.
Some viewers might spot some hints as to what's coming up, so stay tuned to my channel for the anticipated update after all the uninformative random ramblings of the last couple of months!
Check out the motovloggers that I mentioned in the video!

I also touch on what's in store going forward.
This was recorded in 1080p30f. Let me know what you guys think. I've also got a great new mic setup (YES, ANOTHER ONE) and it works way better!

I'm pretty sure you can't see what he's doing in the video though.
I also stumbled upon some footage which turned into an intro video. Let me know in the comments what you think of it.

For some reason, this week, Viper has been making weird noises more often. It must be from the withdrawal of not having his own bike, or from referring to himself in the third person in the description of this video.

I meet up with NakedDave at Motorcycle World for undisclosed reasons. We ride around, I moan about the heat and he loses the 250's license disc after some idiot tries to run me off the road.
I've got an updated mic setup inside my helmet, so please let me know if there's any difference to the sound quality.

After doing this vlog yeserday, KTM came back saying that the cost of fixing the Duchess is more than what it's book value is. Things are not going my way...
I have to apologize again for removing the crash video. It will be uploaded again once the insurance claim has been settled.
Thank you to everyone that has sent me their wishes and support!

This video is that ride and all the entertainment she provided. It seems as though as soon as the helmet goes on she forgets that she can be heard by other drivers.
