Chopper Motorcycle Comic-Con Ride
2019 Chopper Motorcycle Comic-Con Ride
I for the last couple of years San Diego and Orange County choppers have gotten together for a ride down to Fifth Avenue in the Gaslamp District on the last day of the Comic Con convention.
California chopper motorcycles
This is one of the very few times where it is the destination and not the ride that we get together for. This is perhaps the best opportunity to meet and have costume comic characters pose next to our bikes. (more…)

360° Chopper Motorcycle ride
Big Dog k9 360° chopper ride – Insta360 One X
A short chopper ride from San Diego to El Cajon California. El Cajon is just east of San Diego California. My bike is a 2017 Big Dog k9 clone with a Insta360 One X camera mounted on a selfi-stick, attached with clamps to the base of the handlebars.
The other bikes were a Big Bear Athena chopper, and two custom builds. The ride was to the El Cajon Classic Cruise Bike Night. (more…)

La Mesa California is just east of San Diego California. This is a totally free to attend and to show your vehicles. This show runs through August 29 on Thursday evenings.
Although the show is mainly autos and hot rods, motorcycles are also entered and usually on any show night you can see a dozen to a dozen and a half motorcycles there. There are two winners picked each night, and the night that I was there with my modified big dog K9 motorcycle I won one of those awards. (more…)

San Diego Motorcycle Event
San Diego Motorcycle Event
Majestic Wine Mixer fund raiser for Cammies & Canines, an amazing organization saving lives 2 at a time. Their mission to end Veteran homelessness is paired with rescuing dogs from being euthanized. A great cause, an exceptional event and many good looking motorcycles.
I guess technically you can and say this was a San Diego motorcycle event, but, because there were so many bikers with good-looking bikes there, it may as well have been. Besides the ever present Harleys, there was a good-looking Big Bear chopper, big dog K-9, a number of good-looking rigid choppers and even one of the lowest to the ground Honda choppers that I’ve ever seen.

San Diego Motorcycle Painter
San Diego Motorcycle Painter
I met Kevin about a month ago at his studio in the Midway area. He helped me with some paint chips on my Big Dog k9. If you are planning on a total bike paint job or just a custom helmet design, I think it would be a good idea to our own local bike painter . . . Kevin:

DIY 360° video of your motorcycle rides
Best camera for getting 360° video of your motorcycle rides
360° video of your motorcycle rides – – This is a short demonstration video of using my Insta360 One x video camera on my 2017 Big Dog k9 clone. Because the camera films everything in 360°, you really don’t have to worry about aiming it at any specific point or in any direction.
When using the manufacturers app for editing the video you can decide what angles and what scenes or special effects are applied to the video. Once the video is edited, you can export it as a regular ‘flat’ video. With a normal video camera you could never get all these different directional shots. Actually, in order to do that, you would have to, let’s say shoot facing forward, then stop and remount the camera so it’s facing backward, then stop again, and change the camera to point out to the right side, etc.. With this camera, because everything is captured, you can decide what shots you want to include in the final video and also make some incredible special effects. (more…)
