Default GoPro for Christmas

My wife got me a GoPro for Christmas. This thing is really cool, got it all set up in my Jeep the other day ready for some wheelin. Went out yesterday on the bike and tried out a few different camera angles. I am pleased with some of the angles and a few I need to work on.

This is going to be awesome when we ride out to Sturgis this year!

Not sure why when I uploaded to youtube the quality took a crap. The original edit looks awesome on my computer and TV but something happened uploading to youtube...

Well here it is anyway.

Well I do a lot of offroading with my Jeep so I will use it quite a bit there. Traveling to different places. And like I said riding out to Sturgis and while I am there will prove to be useful. I am sure I can come up with many uses, but thanks for your concern...

I use mine all the time, I love to hear when folks try to rain on your parade because they don't agree with your gear. Why even click on the thread, just skip it and move on?

I do a lot of PGR and veterans escort rides and events and then upload and share with the group or family after, it's always appreciated and I enjoy recording the memories. Also have a bunch from tour that I edit for myself, I'll watch them in the winter or share if anyone has questions on certain areas or rides.

Congrats on the gift, splurge and get a couple extra batteries and a good size memory disk.

Wife and my 125.00 Sony handycam does a good job also. Now I get to see all the wildlife and scenery she talking about after our rides.
