Tootling around on the T
« 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.

 As soon as that last right with the power pole so close to the road appeared , I knew you were close to the barn .

 Thanks again Seth  :bow:

Hey Seth, Funny, I was on Back River Rd about the same time as you. Probably a few miles ahead  or behind. Oh, and for your info The Top of the Rockies has been cancelled along with Cherry Days. Bummer, no group photo this year.  :sad:

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:

I see a lot of decent used Gopros on ebay and amazon, and a ton of $50 knock-offs. For $50 I'm tempted to experiment with a possibly sacrificial camera mounted in risky places.
