Cognito Moto 350 on RacerTV
« on: September 11, 2015, 03:25:21 AM »
RacerTV this week featured one of Devin's builds at Cognito Moto.  The 350 cafe bike he built for Fox's 40th anniversary is the subject of this week's RacerTV on YouTube. 
Beautiful bike.

Sorry.  Edited to change imbedded player to a link since the video owner prohibits it being shown outside of YouTube itself.

Came out really nice. And it's a nice review of his project. Did you glean any inspiration for Logan's bike there, Ron?

The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S.

I did, cal.  I realized that you really need to stop on your way through Atlanta and wire this puppy up like you have done for Devin!  ;) :D

Seriously though, it did reinforce with me the desire to use that rear loop with the integrated LED lights for the rear of his bike when we get to that point.  I also really like the look of those Fox shocks, so they achieved their goal (Fox that is) with commissioning this bike because it has me thinking of their shocks.

The narrator they use for that video series is so annoying, he sounds like a robot.

Cool build though, they do great work.

It's a little motor and likes having the tits revved off it.

Love that hoop.

Discussed this in another thread a few days ago, but I have a video walking through the wiring mock up for it, if you need it.

I wanted to strangle the narrator (listening to him).  The bike is beautiful.

the narrator is a computer generated voice over. Its a "text to speech" program so they can avoid having multiple audio takes.

They should call him the British Mr. Roboto!
