learning video GoPro: No 181 and hotrod in garage

[lucydad]

All,

A learning video...please excuse the lack of any polish.

Apparently I can add titles, and music and such. 

Should I black out the license plates on the bikes?

Will this work?  Have to wait for Youtube to publish and get email notification first?  Try two

All I get is my own YouTube main page.

Triple Jim,

Got it working now...have to wait for email from YT saying it is published...note Triple at end...

Good job LD!  Congrats on having the persistence to puzzle out the hardware, software and file format exchanges.

Keep working the technology, and use the new mount you put on the Guzzi for an active ride video.  Need to learn how to cobble together two separate video clips, and add some titles, and such.  Beats working in Cairo.

I'm with Dusty LD. Now we need to see some of them 'east Texas red clay backroads' (Michelle Shocked). I've always wondered what they were actually like and your bikes are far too clean .

Very nice Triumph.  But in the paraphrased words of Crocodile Dundee, "That's not a triple... that's a triple:"

Nick,

Oh those bikes get plenty dirty.  Thanks for the encouragement.  One step at a time on learning new tricks for this old dog.

Yeah, seriously:  one of my employers is trying to get me in the door to work in Cairo.  $400k/year, plus expenses, and paid for apartment. Seriously?  No, I am done with the oil patch, and living and working in North Africa.  No Guzzi dealer in Cairo either. 

cheers,
LD
about to meet another retired buddy for some fabulous Tex Mex:  mole enchiladas...can't get those in Cairo either.

Triple Jim:

I utterly bow to your Triple-ness superiority.  Yes, the Kawis were original inspiration for my 675.  And, of course, the big, free-air, Rotax, 2-stroke triple Ski-Doo Blizzard racing machines of my youth.  Expansion chambers contributed to my hearing loss...gone in a blue haze and ripping roar...

I rode passenger on a Triumph triple when a little Yamaha a friend told me to try had a piston failure.  It was so torquey that when the driver rolled on the throttle it made me lean back into his rear box, it unlatched, and the box and I came very close to going off the back.  And triples, whether 4-stroke or 2-stroke have a distinct and pleasant sound.  Just like a Guzzi only different.
