Default Riding to Sturgis 2009 videos

Okay...anyone wanting to get pumped up about riding out to Stugis...check out these videos.

Since I wasn't able to figure out how to cut the wind noise, you'll probably want to cut your volume down.

We rode up from NM through CO, part of UT, WY, MT and finally into SD.

In case anyone wants to know, this is my camera...mounted on my friend Mitch's SG. He had a RAM mount with a 4" arm. Much more stable than video shot from my bike for some reason.

Professional vidographer/editor I am not! You'll want to check out the deer crossing in front of his bike at the 36 second mark in the "Ride to Sturgis" video. Yikes!

Great video Monstead. What's the camera? I'm impressed that the videos are that smooth, especially mounted on a four inch arm on a Harley!

Thanks...I'm out of town and don't know the exact model # off-hand. It's a Panasonic HD of some sort...uses SD cards. Picked it up w/in the last couple of years when Sharper Image was going out of business.

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing. Definately gets the riding juices flowing. Was that the Flaming Gorge near the start of the first video?
