I spent the morning working on the Ural, so I didn’t realize how nice it really was until I had to make a trip to the hardware store. I took the Super9 since it is easy to park. It is a moped, so you can park it at the bike rack next to the door – very nice for quick trips to the store.
It was WARM, way too warm for all the cold gear I was wearing. Sunday Minnesota finally got started with spring. We had blue, sunny skies and the temps soared up to 62F! I raced home after the store and changed into some cooler gear. I broke out my summer gloves and helmet, and the Gerbing gear went into the closet.
I took the WR250R out for a couple different rides. The SV650 is still in pieces… I really need to get the wiring finished!
Here are two of the many videos I captured this weekend:

ReplyDeleteI really liked your 2nd video. I liked the change in camera angle to record backwards. It had me wondering how you did it. Must have done a lot of takes . . .
I knew that orange rubber thing did something. I am sure it was the mount rattling. I have to figure out how that "thingie" fits in there

Thanks Bob. The editing on the second idea was my wife's. She's the smart one around here. Not a lot of takes at all. The road is nice and twisty, so we enjoyed riding it a few times for fun. We had the idea later to edit the video.
ReplyDeleteI'll get a picture of the orange thing in action, hopefully today for you.

orange thingy doesn’t work on this type of mount, so put some tape under the mount instead
Nice man.. looks like you are getting creative with the GoPro!! I really like the chest-cam view too.. can see the rider and plenty of what is up ahead.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bash3r. The GoPro is really a great camera and can be used in so many ways.
