Out in early December in the PNW on a small trail I found just off the road. Just bought the bike so not much extra's yet.
Cheers, Yes I do enjoy the mountain roads over here, and the tracks too. I always consider my co-pilot who knows nothing about bikes, roads or rides, but she does like the beautiful scenery and enjoys the fresh air out there too. We choose our rides together and enjoy the fun of exploring new places. Next one is to do the Cebu Transcentral Highway, the mountain road which runs from Cebu City up over Tops to Balamban then on to Toledo and back to Cebu via Talisay. It is only 134 km total from our house, but will be a good days run, stopping for lunch and pictures etc. The Transcentral road is good but very windy and to be avoided on weekends due to the number of 'fast bike' and 'quick car' idiots who go up there to burn rubber and create a spectacle, often of themselves when they crash. IMHO the only thing that spoils riding over here is the other traffic and the idiots who seem to think that because we ride what is termed a 'big bike' here, that we are out for a race and not a gentle scenic ride. I usually get a move on and travel at around 80 or 90 km/hr if the road permits, which to the average 100-125 that they ride, I suppose, is nearly flat out. Thoroughly enjoy your pictures and I will soon be posting some more too. Now that I have the Cannisterectomy and the De-Cat done, I have a much 'cooler' bike to ride - I also have a new Muvi K2 NPNG Action Camera fitted so it is time to get out on it. The camera fits perfectly to the bike and the big buttons on the waterproof case mean I can easily control it with gloves on. I have it set at 1080p 60fps so the quality is excellent but files are quite large. I only have Cebu Traffic footage at the moment, but soon we plan to get some mountain road shots too.
I envy you guys that have the weather in your favor. Keep posting so we that are suffering "cabin fever" can stay sane. :>)
I'm doing a big trip in a few months time, and I bought a cheap action cam to see whether I can be bothered filming/editing while I am on holidays in addition to the usual photo taking. I live in suburbia, on the outskirts of Melbourne, a city of about 4 million people. I am only about 10 minutes ride from the more rural suburbs and farms and countryside. The video was taken last weekend on roads about 5-10 miles from my house. I thought I'd post it up just so the people currently suffering through the northern hemisphere winter can see what the sun and blue skies look like , and a bit of the Aussie landscape and wildlife that i came across. Maybe next time I'll aim the camera to show less of my helmet I corrected that in the 2nd half
I'm feeling warmer already. BTW, at the very beginning I didn't realize it was a helmet cam, and for a couple of seconds I thought you were performing some megadrifting.
As long as we are doing "Show and Tell" here is a video from my ride last weekend, ice and all. Best viewed in 1080p (Hint, change by using the little gear on the lower right once the video is started). Filmed in North West Arkansas, USA View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMvNkqMvo58
Today`s cam placement test drive, cam testing for a change not only in the helmet. Hard snow is cool to drive. In some places snow is too soft, such as the video shows
The sounds are absolutely terrible, something needs to develop them. External microphone would otherwise be good but the package is not waterproof then
Original post, video on Sunday 25/01 in afternoon. Now, on Friday, 30.1 afternoon still waiting moderator approval More than two months, more than 20 posts and still do not have rights to send a pm or post...
Washington isn't so bad right now about 50, was very tempted to ride around this gate because the road looked great going up the hill and who knows what was on the other side. Might have to go back mid week some time.
I am in the same boat too. I had my posts awaiting up to two weeks for Moderator Approval and I still cannot PM anyone. This is making this site difficult for me to use and I find I am now becoming a 'lurker' as I have little or no incentive to post any more. Over at Adv Rider my posts are 'instant' and I am finding that forum much more useful now.
I was inspired by this thread to post pictures of my Terra in scenic locations from my rides around the Philippines....Uh, I don't have any I have lots of pictures of my Honda XR 125 in scenic spots and I have these pictures of my TR: Yard TR - Batangas, Philippines Waiting for my buddies to come back with my repaired flat - Minduro, Philippines New Rubbers (always a good idea) Caloocan, Philippines Rain - Cavite, Philippines My theory is: When I'm on the XR, I stop and smell the roses... When I'm on the TR, I don't stop unless I have to; I was 2 up with the wife, no rain gear, during the rain stop
