anyone go for a ride today? Pics?

[GateKeeper]

LOL

Don't I wish, it's actually a home that was passed onto the the City, it was used for Corporate meetings and such, now it's just a little touristy area, with lots of trails around the property....

here is a pic when I was there with the car

Part 5 at last... this is all one road we went on that I'd never seen before and it is awesome fun! The whole road end to end is great, and there is some fun tight twisty stuff up a hill starting at about 4:30.

I have to do it again on my own or leading I think...

Went for a ride up the coast the day before yesterday. This is the return trip. For those of you unfamiliar with Vancouver. The bridge { Lions Gate } is the entrance to the city from West Vancouver and the park { Stanley Park } is the exit I take after coming off the bridge which pops out in my neighborhood. It ends at my corner store. { I was hungry }
YouTube said the video may not be available in all countries because of the Tom Petty music I used. So let me know and I'll change the music.

If my Victoria buddies were over, there probably would have been another twenty miles and a relaxing beer at the Long Horn's outside tables.....

 

[eddie21]

Did you say beer? You missed Trevor and me at the Moon yesterday! Are you bringing that camera to Vernonia? You might collect enough incriminating evidence to blackmail some of us into supplying you with a lifetime supply of IPA!

And speaking of Victoria, here's a shot I took in Sidney on the Saanich Peninsula during a ride yesterday.

Sorry it's not the Katana, but it is a GSX!

Rally "Sturgis" on the River in Davenport today. The wife and the metal mistress. Heavy on the HD Culture, very few vintage. Still a car show on the side and a great day with a wonderful woman.

Watching other quality videos is making me think I need to try some music... I think my exhaust + wind noise isn't sounding so good... might have to roll out some ZZ Top which tends to be pretty good music to look at ride videos with

..pete- there's a couple of possible solutions...put a "hair guard" over mic's hole. If you look at outdoor audio recording, you will often see the mics have hairy coverings. This works best imo. you might also see Foam as a cover but for wind, it's pretty useless,imo.
Another option more complicated is to extract the audio track to edit or make a separate audio track from a windsheltered location on the bike and then match one to the video in the editing. I'm not soo much into this as I used to be but using audacity or wavosaur (free) for audio fixups (though Goldwave is MY favourite) then "virtualdub" (free)to sync and add the new track seems to give good results. You can actually remove various frequencies.... Everyone has their own system of course and vdub does need the video to be as ".avi" so you will likely need to convert the camera's format....

I like some music but it's really nice to hear the engine and road too.

Did about 100 mi on the XL this AM with more to come later. A picture for a phototag on another board from earlier today.

Will have the GSX 1100 G out this afternoon for another 100+ mile jaunt.

Can you get another picture of the bike a little further to the left please?

Not today about a 40 mile ride each way if I stay off the HWY.

Scott, here is a link that talks about the historical marker and local history.

Thank you for that. I love reading about the history of sites and will try when I have the chance.

I watched a guy spray fruit trees with this crop-dusting helicopter.
He darted around like a bird. Quite fascinating.

(that appears to be a sweet 175...! )

went to a car show today but the only pix I took were bikes...here's the beater bike tucked betwixt some fancy bikes.

.....a rather nice repair, I think. It can wait til winter rains to fix it now!

and even Kawasakis (?)have skulls on them. Nicely done! but I never dug the "skulls" trip .

Look closely and see the big trout below.


A little ride to warm up the oil in the bike so I could change it. 100 miles to Weaverville for lunch.
