SENA Prism - Bluetooth Action Cam - First Impressions
/
SENA announced a great looking camera a while back, and I've been anxiously awaiting its release ever since. It was finally released a few weeks back, i quickly put my Sony action cam on ebay, and the second it sold I went to order the SENA PRISM. I'm not going to do a full review here, after all I've barely had it a day. But i will give my initial impression along with some photos and video.

I'm not bright enough on the road. Its becoming more obvious to me this winter as its dark out early, and because my friend Yoshi has an R1200GSA with LED headlight and aux lights, he's bright as hell on the road and i want that. It feels like a safety issue.

Sunken Mine Road + New riding buddies
/Great day riding. Mixed and matched two of my buddies and even added a new one today. The four of us met at a cafe in Dumbo. Had a cup and started up north. We followed a track I found online. Unfortunately the track took us through the Bronx local streets to get up to cold spring harbor. Wasted time. Lesson learned.Once we got up there it was awesome. We hit some dirt roads and some winding smooth roads. Great mix. It was freezing and I'm pretty sure I convinced my buddies to invest in heated gear. It even flurried on us a bit. Looking forward to the next ride with the same crew.
Edit: I realized this is very close to where i camped this past summer. Looking forward to camping here again now that i know about these dirt roads.
6K Service
/noting really exciting here. i got my 6k service at bmw nyc. i had to schedule a few weeks in advance. i reached 6k just ~4 months after i got the bike. i found out i was supposed to do an oil change at 3k. it doesn't say so anywhere in the manual, just says once a year or if you do a lot of miles to do it sooner. they said it wasn't a big deal at all, and that i should do my next oil change on my own at 9k, and then bring it in again at 12k for scheduled service. they were reasonably priced (i think), and they had it done for me in 2 hours while i waited.
Your relationship with your bike...
/“You see, all motorcycles leave their respective factories the same as all of their siblings. It is only through their relationship with their owners that they begin to differentiate themselves from each other. From custom bits and aftermarket exhausts to battle scars from conflicts with the pavement or, perhaps, just a liberal coating of bugs and road grime that point to a happy, well-used motorcycle, bikes frequently mirror their riders’ personalities.”
