Default I guess I have to go shopping

Riding today around 90 mph and watch in horror as it flew off the bike. I really was concerned about somebody behind me having their car damaged by it or worse get into an accident.

bye bye highway peg

Back when I was first riding after my accident, the wife and I got behind a guy
hauling 'junk' on a trailer. Just as I moved to the left lane to pass, a "crowbar" fell off the
trailer and bounced up in the air after it hit the road.

Close.....................

That sucks. My left rear lens cover popped off during a group ride on Saturday. I stopped by a CVS to buy some clear tape to keep my LEDs from hanging out of the housing.

I bought a goPro and a suction mount last year. Successfully made a video last year with it mounted facing backwards and down toward the mufflers. I was worried about the suction mount, but it was guaranteed to withstand 125 mph winds. Worked great that first time.

After I had the new cam and exhaust done, my bike had a little more shake. lol Did the same video drive again. AT least the camera waited till I got back in my neighborhood to fall off. And I heard it hit the pavement. Went back and picked it up and other than a small scuff on the camera enclosure, its ok.
