Riding with Flashback..... 1 Year, 12 Months ago  
Met up with Flashback Friday. Had a blast!

( The video was shot with a HERO GoPRO HD video camera mounted on the left crashbar.... )

Enjoy

Great job Mike. On the second video, I wish you would have looked down at the speedometer just few times, so i can see how fast you was moving to catch up to the lead rider. Keep post them vids, I love seeing open highway.

Hey Mike, Thanks for the pics, It was a good day, and I'm truly glad you beat the squall that came thru, it was 88*F one minute, and 50*F the next...and hail to boot......

BTW,I had forgotten how quiet the stock pipes are, but at least he can hear his phone and stereo! but I do love my stubbies...

Thanks! I'll try to get some more video uploaded. I am still looking for some software that will let me edit the video, add titles, fades, etc.... no luck yet. I know I'll find something soon.... I've got several mounts for the camera, plus a suction cup mount. I am going to try mounting camera to several different places on the bike for different points of view...... should prove interesting.

As far as how fast I was running to catch up to the lead rider, he had his cuise control set for 65mph. I doubt that I was running any faster than 70 or so to catch him.

Here's a list of video editing software from Wikipedia software
I used to use Camtasia but it is on the pricey side.
It will do everything you want and more though.

Great job Mike. If some of these guys want to know how our Road*'s sound you have it. Clean your bell out and it won't sound so loud

Thanks for sharing. The video is amazingly clear and smooth...impressive. Looks like it was a great ride too. I love seeing a bike group with all types of bikes; even if they are not riding together.
