- June 09, 2014, 05:14:58 AMTroll as a Veteran rider and instructor for many moons if you had trouble keeping up practice is definitely in order for me .
GB .... I'm thinking one of two things here
1) leave about 20 minutes before the pack
2) draw a straw to see if you get the last spot or my self 
Either way looks like I'll have a riding partner for the dragon

- June 08, 2014, 20:21:13 PMYep, practice is in order for that. I plan to take a trip to southern OH later once the 1500 is back on the road. I'll probably be in the back of the line, though - that way no one will get upset with me for holding them up....

- June 08, 2014, 19:53:57 PMTroll that dragon sure looks like a nice road to travel Were you leading the pack on this video ? The reason I ask is because the only other riders in the video are riding in the other direction . I'm definitely going to have to find some road around here to get my practicing in .

- June 08, 2014, 18:33:32 PMIt's all an experiment. I don't know what the camera sees until I get home and look at it. I believe I can fix the "red thing", which happens to be the inside top of the bubble nose fairing.

- June 08, 2014, 17:47:53 PMNot bad....not bad at all! The red piece in the foreground does the jello thing a little, but not bad. Can the camera be mounted in roughly the same place but a little more forward? I think if you got the back edge of the red piece out of the frame then the jello effect would be much less noticeable or maybe go away altogether.

- June 08, 2014, 17:44:38 PMI created a new account because if I used my id I already had, it would convert all my Picasa stuff to youtube, so yes that's my first upload. Goes pretty easy. The camera is mounted on the handlebar in the space between the risers, right by the fork crown nut....Any place else and I get the dreaded jello....I'm playing with the angle to get the best view. Not much space to work with on the "W". You better find some place with curves in Ohio...the Dragon has 318 (switch backs, hair pins, elevation changes) in 11 miles, and I do believe we're going to be doing it, again!

- June 08, 2014, 17:36:33 PMNice video, Troll I have to admit, I can't figure out where the gopro is mounted, though? Good perspective.
Is that your first post on youtube? how did that go?
