EXCELLENT video and ride.  Bike sounds smooth.  
PLEASE provide more ride vids thru the season!

My LS is in the final phases of carb adjustment and should be ready to go this next week.

Peter,

This was the pilot episode, as it were.  It came out better than I expected.  My last experience filming from a bike was with a Super-8 cine camera on a home-made helmet mount.  It was cumbersome as hell, but the helmet mount does have some advantages.

I want to do something about the wind noise, but don't have any kind of a sound-processing system.  I like the engine noise, but the wind is distracting.  I want to do some footage with classical music for a soundtrack, and maybe that will be the solution.

Enjoy the ride.

Steve

Sweet.  Try taping or otherwise attaching some foam to cover the microphone hole(s) on the camera.  That will cut down on the wind noise but you should still be able to hear the bike rev. Thanks for the vid!

Great video! Tried to comment on your YouTube page but kept getting a weird error.  

I've really been wanting to get a good camera to film such videos, as well as some mountain biking.  I think you all would enjoy a video of our local twisties on Mt. Lemmon.

I enjoy riding that area, too.   The gap roads (Lincoln, brandon, Middlebury) can be alot of fun - and Rt100 and the roads feeding in/out of it.  

Are you going to the swap meet at Emerson's motoworks on June 5?  I was planning on going, but now have a music gig in Boston to do that afternoon... :'(
