This is my first one so be patient with me. The first part is going down 70 it is good ride too but he music begins as I go into Highway 96. We are riding the Dragon this Saturday weather permitting. Hope you enjoy.

Great video :2thumbs:......nice and clear and good music to go with it. What kind of camera is it? Makes me want to go riding. I have not rode my bike in over a month. Temps have been 104 to 112 everyday for over a month. First time my bike has sit for that long since I've owned it.

Good Road, Great Music, Great vid! Love the sweeping curves. Worth the wait. Thanks Ray (and Gumby)!:2thumbs:

Do the tree shadows and worry of critters jumping out ever worry you? We are much more wide open spaces out here in the west.

The Camera is the HD 1080p Helmet Cam by Go-Pro , set on the R2 setting in the resolution. I ran that road about 6 times to figure that part of it out. The only thing that concerns me riding that road is gravel that sometimes is right in the path of where the tires are going, and to late/ possibly to fast to do anything but hold on and pray..that is usually after a heavy rain. The suzuki would slide through them pretty well,,, really don't want to slide the scooter through them. Everything goes as planned we will do the Dragon Saturday, that should be fun too.

That last day I rode through 96 it was really hot and going through the shadows was 10-15 degrees cooler and always feels good. It is about 45 miles from my house so it feels great riding through there.

Thanks,
Ray :2thumbs:

Very nice video that Ray posted, up and on the Go Pro HD camera, I have one also and highly recommended for excellent high quality video that are simple to operate. Only complaint I would have on the Go Pro is the audio portion, it has built in mic and at speeds the wind noise can drive out the engine sound, if you put the enclosed back on, it's better but still can have some wind noise. I would be top line if they had put an external mic jack at least. Still for the price and the overall quality of the unit, the adaptability and simplicity the GO Pro is excellent.

I have been away working for two months away from everything I enjoy including my bike. I made your video full screen, sat close the the screen and turned on the fan in my face. It was a great ride! :up:

ok 1st off nice acceleration as you left the parking lot...good use of mirrors...but i did notice you were speeding when you passed that car. @nd you got in the turn lane to 96 to soon...shame on you. once on 96 you were speeding again and a couple times you were on the yellow center stripe. Last but not least you need to trim the straps on your goodie bag they are beatin poor ol gumby to death...LOL..:lol::lol: Great vidio. when the wife gets home i got to play it for her..:2thumbs::2thumbs:

Great idea, sometime before it gets cold.

This weekend a few of us are going to ride the Dragon, kinda like an all day Saturday thing up there and back same day. I think we should be able to do it in 8 or 9 hours. I hope my new rear tire is installed by now,I took it yesterday afternoon to get that done. That new Cobra looked good anyway.
