Default H-D Video - Tour of Bear Creek Canyon

Connected the cam to a handlebar mount. Found a tune to accompany though one mostly hears the rumbling Harley exhaust note. Pressed "record" at Red Rocks Park at the entrance to Bear Creek Canyon, near Morrison. Video ends near Cold Spring Gulch. Car I pass is just west of Idledale. See below. Here's a four minute ride through the canyon...

The location of the canyon, west of Denver...


This image is from the camcorder at the start of the recording...


Following the recording and ride up the canyon, parked the bike for a downtown Evergreen lunch. No I didn't get any Henna art put on my body. Cafe is to the right but a car was parked in front. Two other works of iron from Milwaukee came alongside to help with the presence...

Hey,
Thanks for another good one. I like the combination of the music AND engine. I think you have been on that road a few times. You ride it well. Watch out for a red and silver Road King with Ohio plates in your neck of the woods this weekend! The Colorado HOG rally is almost here! Instead of waving, give me the finger, that way I know its you (or another HDFORUMS member).

Maybe as a joke you could have played a different song by Crosby Stills and Nash, "Marrakesh Express", and left us to wonder about your Henna lifestyle.[sm=escape.gif]

Great your ride here is about to happen. I remember discussing this months ago. Anxious to hear all about it.

Might be difficult spotting your bike from head on, coming the other way, so for a week I'll flip off everyone just to make sure I have you covered.[sm=coolness.gif]

Echoing thanks for another vicarious ride through the mountains. We here along the Gulf coast don't get much of a change in the terrain, and anything like this is welcomed -- even though it is via video! We get there as often as possible and ride many of the same routes you've captured on video... I'm waiting on the "scratch and sniff" version of your productions so we can also enjoy the smell of pine, burning logs, and clean crisp air -- however thin it may be!

Thanks again for a job well done...

Ahhh, good thoughts. I have heard of a proof-of-concept device one can buy to connect to a PC, and a web site can trigger the device to emit different scents. This was a couple of years ago and I haven't seen a commercial version, so maybe it didn't make it out of the lab. Maybe we should invent a box with all kinds of scents experienced from two wheels. Twice this past week I was caught behind a garbage truck [:'(]. So we could include that. Then there would be smelling the rain before it falls, fresh air, warm air, farms, feed lots [:'(], flowers, trees, skunks, etc. I think you're on to something!

BTW, was at the Houston Convention Center several years ago in February. Received permission from my bride to rent an E-Glide and see the Gulf Coast. Saw the water at Matagorda, rode through Port Lavaca, saw Corpus Christi, turned west and made a circle back to Houston. Great ride. For me, seeing big water is quite the sight.
