360° Motorcycle Ride

360° Motorcycle Ride

Big Dog k9 motorcycle, American Ironhorse LSC and Harley-Davidson Fat Boy 360° video ride in San Diego California.

This 360° motorcycle video was done with a Insta360 One X camera. This camera does NOT move. All the movement was done in post-production. Keep in mind that this video camera was mounted on my Big Dog k9 chopper. So, there was a lot of vibration. Yet, the built-in stabilization did a great job of making the video smooth! Read more »

This ride is on Saturday 10-19-19 and is open for all riders, not just choppers. But, naturally, I hope we have a good number of choppers join this ride. This is the day before our big Borrego Days Festival ride. This custom motorcycle show is the fourth annual show sponsored by the Ramona Chamber of Commerce. The funds raised at the show go to Scholarship Programs and local non-profits through the Ramona Community Foundation. Read more »

San Diego best motorcycle ride - San Diego California Chopper Motorcycle Ride

San Diego best motorcycle ride

The Montezuma grade s22 ( the entire Montezuma Valley Road is about 22 miles long) which is a little over 10 miles going down from Ranchita to Borrego Springs California.. Many motorcyclist in the San Diego area consider this one of the best motorcycle roads in San Diego County. This road has all the twists and turns any motorcyclist would love combined with great vistas out over the desert. There are at least two gas stations in Borrego Springs for those of us with small gas tanks.

Yes, as it shows on the map above, this ride will be about four hours. With gas stops, and lunch at the Borrego Days festival, you should figure a total of about five/six hours. If his is a little much for you, or you just can’t get away for that time we have another shorter ride on 10-19-19 to the Ramona motorcycle show, the day before this ride. I’ll post info on the Ramona ride tomorrow. Ideally, you  can make both of these rides! Perhaps thinking of th Ramona ride as a warm-up to the Borrego ride. Read more »

Chopper Motorcycle Night Southern California

Chopper Motorcycle Night at the Torque Moto Cafe

Chopper Motorcycle Night – It’s always a pleasure to see a gathering of good looking custom chopper motorcycles. Many consider the custom chopper to be a rolling work of art. You could have a hundred stock Harleys at a meetup and just two choppers. It’s a sure bet the more cell phone photos will be taken of the two choppers, than all the combined photos of the Harley baggers. Read more »

Chopper Motorcycles

This is a little video retrospective of some of the chopper motorcycles that I’ve owned over the years.

I grew up on the East Coast and that’s where my passion for high-powered chopper motorcycles began. Actually my first motorcycle was an old 1950 something Harley-Davison with a suicide shift.

This is the first use of my new 360° VR camera to video a motorcycle ride. the camera is a Insta360 One, that records in 4K resolution. For best possible viewing results, change the resolution of this video up to 4K and full-screen, if your device can handle it without buffering. If you have a problem, just lower the resolution until it plays back correctly.

Riding up to Mount Laguna and Julian California is the most popular San Diego motorcycle ride. If you look closely at the video when we’re riding into Julian you’ll see a large amount of motorcycles parked on both sides of the main street. Read more »
