Chopper Motorcycle Ride

Chopper Motorcycle Ride

Here in the Arizona area there are many motorcycle rides.

But there’s quite a difference between a motorcycle ride and an exclusive Chopper ride. Sure, Choppers have their admirers and their detractors, but one thing’s for sure when a group of Choppers get together for a ride they attract a lot more attention and admiration from the General Public then a bunch of stock motorcycles.

California Lane Splitting Rage

Car Driver Blocks Motorcycle  California Lane Splitting

Motorcycle rider says: Before you rip me… I’M NOT WEARING EAR BUDS! I’m wearing ear plugs (motorcycle approved 29db) to prevent hearing loss. I can hear this jerk talking, but I just can’t understand him (or care what he has to say). The music sounds loud because my goPro microphone is inside my helmet right next to the Sena Bluetooth speaker. I can hear horns, sirens, motors, etc. no problem. I can hear better than when I’m in my car with the windows rolled up for example. CVC 27400 section D if you want to look it up.

In 2015,  a study from the University of California, Berkeley showed that lane splitting is safe for motorcycle riders, and in fact is often safer than waiting in traffic! Read more »

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. Read more »
