Title: Tootling around on the T
Post by: Testarossa on May 27, 2020, 05:17:35 PM: Another local ride, this time on the freshly rebuilt '74 850T. Coming home with the groceries via back roads. I've trimmed the bits where I had to follow slow traffic.

You must have been behind, Scott, or I'd have overtaken you :evil:

Hi, JJ. I hate those stickum GoPro mounts so for about $8 I bought this strap-on thingy (looks like it came from a XXX catalog). The camera shakes a bit, creating video that looks like the bike has no suspension. I'm going to try putting a fat rubber band around the GoPro to stabilize the thing. Next video: The Mille over McClure Pass.

Dusty, I'm very glad that I can amuse you!

Yes, that's the issue with GO-PRO...is'nt it? Vibration...and that's also "the scourge" of all motorcycles in general! :laugh: :grin: :wink:

Thinking about getting a GO-PRO, but for $300, I dunno... :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :shocked: :shocked:
