Update number: negative R squared
So the bike will be delivered tomorrow Friday May 22nd! All the paperwork is done its literally just the delivery. I had so many headaches. I would not recommend using a credit union and independent dealer. They dont trust each other.

The R1 just got delivered and I'm at work for another hour

I can't wait to get home and suit up and do my first ride video. Gonna be a great day.

Yeah I don't plan on opening it up today that much haha it will stay in D mode for sure until I get comfortable with the ergonomics and throttle. Thanks for looking out hippo! Video to come

Just got off the thing. Holy hell. 1.5 hours is more than enough of that. My word

unfortunately lost about half of my footage. need to get a new microphone. the one i have is great but it uses a mini 3.5mm that comes unplugged at times because it doesnt fit into the gorpo adapter well.

Dude I forgot you had this thread out here when I watched your R3 review; pumped to see your R1 content.

What mic are you using ? My Purple Panda Mic fits into the GoPro adapter seemingly fine, no issues.

It's a really nice sennheiser levalier mic but it uses a mini 3.5mm panel connector which is meant for a sennheiser wireless pack. I didn't realize it when I ordered it. It works, but it comes out under heavy wind. I taped it down but it looks too ghetto. And yeah I bought a purple panda. Looks really good.

Good deal on purple panda - seems like all the main motovloggers are using it now. I'm still fiddling with where exactly to put it in my helmet to get the least echo'y helmet sound, the best balance of voice/road/engine noise, avoid the deadcat touching my face, and avoid getting my breathing/mouth sounds.

Side note - I saw that mention just now on the MaxWrist live stream, Gemini. Good looks, man!
