WEEKEND GETAWAY | RIDE UP COW CREEK ROAD | KAWASAKI Z400 | SPRING 2022 | 4K POV | RAW ENGINE SOUND

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Welcome.
Just another POV rider.
Riding out of Houston, Texas.
Sharing my rides for all to see.
In this video, I ride north via Texas County Rd 25 aka Cow Creek Road coming from West Colombia, Texas.
I spotted this road when scouting potential roads to ride this spring on Google Maps.
This road has a little bit of everything: long straights, winding roads, bridges and farms.
Part of it is surrounded by three lakes, a prairie preserve and is a few miles south of Brazos Bend State Park 🐊 (tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/br...)
You will see lots of beautiful sights, trees of all kinds and of course...COWS! 🐄🐄🐄
Temps reached a max of 93F.
Enjoy!

    I've had my Z400 for 3 months, just about to hit 600 miles. It's my daily commuter to work, which is about 10 miles round trip. 😀

    Your smooth shifting is incredible. As a new rider, I'm still struggling with my downshifting...any advice?

    Slipper clutch helps a lot. What helped me a lot is getting a feel for the friction zone on your bike and don’t fully squeeze in the clutch to shift. Notice that in my older videos I tend to fully squeeze in the clutch and release once I complete the shift. I stopped doing this. Instead, I use two (or one) fingers and instead of squeezing in the clutch all the way, squeeze in just enough to where the friction zone is and quickly release once you shift and roll on the throttle. There’ s a MotoJitsu video where he explains this better. Look up “motojitsu clutch” on KZread. Downshifts are the same. Only squeeze in the clutch halfway and release smoothly as you shift down and roll on the throttle. Also practice practice practice. Good luck!

    Thanks and you're gonna love it! Its an awesome bike. Never gets boring. I have full coverage so I pay roughly 80 bucks a month for insurance. Since I live in a pretty large city with a bad reputation on driving, I went for the full coverage.

    I record audio using a standalone audio recorder (Zoom H1n) and have a wind muff over the mics. Then I place it in my backpack or anywhere wind doesn’t hit directly.

    lol it is a mount called andobil Bike Phone Mount that I bought on Amazon. I believe this is the one: tinyurl.com/53wr2xmn It was cheaper a year ago.
