Played Hookie Today - Took a Short Ride

[FJRBilldo]

Took the 126 out to the 23 (Grimes Canyon). Basically Fillmore to Simi Valley. Tried the GoPro 2 with the suction cup mount on the side fairing down by my left foot. Had a tether on it just in case k:

The vid says 2010, I'm too tired (and lazy) to fix and upload again since it took forever. Go easy on me...I'm relatively new at this stuff and still trying to get used to this 640 pound monster. The Helibars are a HUGE improvement over stock for me.

Cheers!

Hi Bill,

Hookie is one of my favorite games! You played it very well indeed, have you thought about turning pro.

Best regards

Bright blue skies!!! Nice! Yep that was a good day to play Hookie!

I like that camera view. It's one of my favorites. You had it mounted nice & low and you can see the detail in the pavement on hard left turns. Good stuff.

Thanks guys. Any positive comments from Georgia Roller are great, seeing as he is the KING OF RIDE VID'S!!

I wish I could be a professional hookie-player every. Man it was nice. Only happens about once a year :cray:

Nice vid! Looks like the camera is out there a ways I'd be worried of scraping it?

You cali guys are killing me with all this riding you get to enjoy.

Nice video and have to say that is the shiniest, cleanest garage floor i have seen other than a commercial for a floor product, are you sure you have time to ride AND keep that floor that clean?? :blink:

Awesome vid, I liked the music also. I am really wanting to get a camera just for vids like this. I noticed you said you used the Go Pro. How do you like it? I'm interested in a contour HD camera. Any of you guys have any experience with that camera???

I have a Contour HD but am thinking about the GoPro Hero2. They are supposed to be coming out with a new WiFi Remote so that you can control the camera while sitting on the bike. You will also be able to use your smartphone as a monitor to help line up the shot. The Contour+ has the smartphone WiFi feature but no remote control and is more expensive.

Here is what he Contour HD can do ...
