SEBSPEED Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 Here's a short video of a couple backroads that are right by my home. I go a mile down the road to get to the stop sign at the beginning of the video. No music, just added a title and end, pretty much raw video, quickie all around! It's a faster pace, but you can still get a good look at the fall colors. Couldn't find my riser block for the camera, so you get a nice view of the tach also. Working on a RAM setup this winter. Enjoy, and feel free to comment! There is a higher quality version available, if you look for the link at the lower right of the vid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddulu Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 That was just a stroll through the woods. You hardly hit VTEC! Although you did have a few :squid: moments :ohmy: :fing02: :wub: :wheel: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like I bought my bike for commuting! :wheel: J I've been commuting all week, and it's been damn cold! Low 40's in the mornings, 50's in the afternoon... yesterday and today we're warming up again a bit, right around 70 yesterday afternoon, perfect for a stroll through the woods! I'm going to try and film a couple more roads today, after I cut some firewood... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer alwaysaware Posted October 11, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted October 11, 2008 Cool scenery. Not trying to put your video down but after looking at Drago52's video using that GoPro HERO5 WIDE lens video camera, I think you could have captured alot more of that awesome scenery that your riding through using it. :wheel: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice stroll & wheel. What is your video equipment ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice stroll & wheel. What is your video equipment ? I agree guys, if you take a look at my Appalachian Gap videos on youtube, you'll see that the riser puts the lens into the bigger part of the windscreen. I was in a hurry yesterday and couldn't find the darn thing(it's just a piece of 1x3 pine with a longer 1/4-20 bolt), I was running out of daylight so I just slapped the mount & camera on and went! Mount is a gas cap style adjustable mount from ebay, camera is a Panasonic PV-GS36 minidv. Looking forward to playing with RAM ball setups, there is a sweet setup I've been wanting to try, but I think I may need to get a smaller/lighter cam to make it work. It uses two long arms off the back of the bike, and the goal is to make it look like the camera is flying along behind the bike, but not attached, giving a 3/4 rear view of the bike & rider. Thanks for the comments, keep em coming! :biggrin: I won't be getting back out today, but tomorrow is looking good! :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer trav72 Posted October 11, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted October 11, 2008 and people say the VFR won't wheelie. :biggrin: Thanks for documenting it on video.

SEBSPEED Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 Great vid Seb!So that's Cairo, NY? Beautiful! Those particular county routes are actually in the township of South Cairo, but the rest of the area is much of the same. :biggrin: These are the "foothills" of the Catskill mountains.

SEBSPEED Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 For those of you with an eye for detail, the bobble/front end push/tiny oh shit moment at the 1:50 mark in the vid was a bit of gravel strewn in the very middle of the lane. The road was just repaved earlier this year, and they built it up about 4" with new asphalt, for some reason the knuckleheads that drive around here feel the need to cut the corners and kick gravel up into the corners... :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
