- May 07, 2013, 14:34:36 PM Ok, I went out to the dealer and bought a handlebar/seat post mount for the camera. They didn't have the roll bar mount in stock. I put it on the turn signal stalk, and went for a ride. The results are very encouraging. The jello effect is minimal, and there are no funny clicking noises. The vertical line on the right is the edge of the plexi lower..Not sure they actually do anything, so I took them off. The ride is up Bliss Rd. on Granddad bluff. Most of the turns are marked 15 mph....yeah, right. Very happy with the results. Thanks for the idea. I think I'll put it on the other side so it will pick up the exhaust sound for the next test. So far this is the best motorcycle point of view movie I've been able to get. I think I can make it work the same way on the W......

- May 05, 2013, 19:41:20 PMTroll, I mounted my GoPro on the left turn signal stem (Used the roll bar mount from GoPro) It really shows the lean angle and there's no vibration, I had to run the camera in upside down mode but it flips the playback right side up. You can see the location in the photo.

- May 05, 2013, 18:49:53 PMI have a helmet mount, and it's great, but...Having it on the bike gives a different perspective. The lean angle of the bike is not evident with the helmet mount, but the pictures are clear. I want BOTH!!! Always want something I can't have...I'll figure it out...I'm getting closer.

- May 05, 2013, 18:45:25 PMGreat poker run for VET'S today.Believe the final count for registration was 46 rides.Mostly Harley-Davidson but I did meet another Drifter rider....how cool.
Troll there was 2 riders who had the Go Pro mounted on their helmets.One individual had it on the very top/center and the other right around forehead height.

- May 05, 2013, 10:35:03 AM Here's a link to a part of the Charity run I did yesterday. I believe I have figured out a pretty good way to mount the camera. Sometime during the ride, something splashed up on the lens, so the video is not really clear...sorry. This is a section of WI 108 going south through the Mindoro Cut (google it). We had 2 novice riders in the group, and I warned them about the last leg of the ride...later I talked to them about the more technical part of the ride. I do this road 5-6 times a year, anyway..so I'll redo the video with a clean lens.

- May 05, 2013, 07:25:01 AMTroll I wanted to thank you for sponsoring the boy scouts and doing that run.Have a few guys at work who's kids are members of this organization.Thank you!
I myself did a run yesterday to sponsor a young girl who is very creative in the art world.However she lacks the overall credentials in regular school class's to qualify for a scholarship.Didn't know this young lady one bit but,her parents did this huge write up and like most of us Americans are struggling just to put food on the table.Good turnout,only Drifter there as well.Sorry no pics forgot the phone.
Today I'm doing another run for Veterans at a nearby VFW.I'll be sure to remember the phone for pics to follow later on tonight.Very cloudy out at the moment so hopefully it won't rain,we,'ll see...lol.Ride safe fellow members!

- May 04, 2013, 19:38:18 PMSo far, I've never run into another drifter at a ride unless I planned to meet someone with one there. It's tough being the most stylish one at the meet, huh?

- May 04, 2013, 19:35:24 PMThe local Kawasaki dealer sponsored a ride today as a fund raiser for the local Boy Scout campground. Pretty decent turnout, considering it was snowing/sleeting/raining yesterday. It was supposed to be cloudy and 50 with a 70% chance of rain...but it wasn't! About 50 bikes, 150 miles, only ran into rain once for a short time. We went North a little, and I took this pic. from the parking lot of one of the bar stops. Lots of different bikes, Victory, H-D, Kaw. Honda, Yamaha, one 1973 airhead Beemer, and one Drifter...mine...
