Default Just a little first time video.

Just fooling around with a cheap digicam and my mount I just made. Made the mount in about 2 hours with some 3/4" square aluminum tubing and some long metric bolts and misc. other bolts and parts. I cannibalized a $10 mini tripod I bought from Best Buy last year, thats gotta get replaced because the quick release and swivel ball are the weakest points of the mount, I picked up most of my vibration through them. I'll modify it or make a new one once I pick up a miniDv cam, as the mount point and where the camera will sit will be different anyways.

$15 of parts from Home Depot, 2 hours, and a little creativity.



$15 mount + cheap *** vivitar digicam = video (highly compressed at this point, not very good quality, but I was mostly just showing off the neat little road. )

No. I just know the difference between beat-***, cracked, uneven public roads where the speed limit is 30mph, and the track. I was going 50-60mph the entire video.

The video was simple, but I like to watch people cruise nonetheless.

Gotta love New England roads

That was the point, more the road, than the video. The road &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; the video. :D

What? You didnt see my swerving in some of those curves? That was me avoiding huge holes/cracks/canyons in the road.

I dont talk **** about peoples cars, I talk **** about their perceived level of intelligence, because if you havent noticed, people post some pretty stupid stuff.

And me caring = 0. Its a first bike and I've been riding for a whole month! wow.

LOL, thats my temp gauge. My gas gauge is.......my trip meter. 4.7 gallon tank x 55mpg. I gas up every 200-210 max though.
