Great Texas Motorcycle Roads vid's
« on: April 06, 2008, 12:02:33 PM »

I plan to start filming as many rides on all the best roads I can find and then posting them to Youtube. I am open for suggestions on roads to ride I just completed my first vid for Texas Park Road PC1 through Bastrop and Buescher state parks.
The idea will be to provide some info on the roads and where they can be found as well as provide a look at the ride it's self.

I am new to this and am only using a pocket size digital camera mounted to the tank of my bike so don’t expect Hollywood LOL.

But let me know what you think.

Its just the mount doesnt allow for much stability so if the road gets bumpy then the camera bounces.

what about a helmet cam?  I think duct-tape works as a mount there, and it should take most of the bounce out...   8)

I have a cam that was a helmet cam but it was not great and did not hold much video.
I may look for other ways to mount this one I think it will all be a learning exp. O0
