Thanks guys. Yep, Boondocks... that's me! lol (Dragon NOT!)
Tried something different on the ride home. Zip-tied the holder to my brake reservoir. The camera was pointing too far skyward, so I stuck a piece of a stick under the back of it, but it bounced alot! So I stopped, pulled out the stick, then tried a couple quarters shoved under it to try to give it more angle and it still wasn't good. When I got home, I strapped it to my right front turn signal stem. Might just work there. If I got out later, I'll try it.

Yep, just turned the camera around for one of the trips. And Celia, if you are still looking for buckhorns, check my post in The Marketplace. I'm done with my parts bike.

Piglet, thats a nice ride. I like the fact theres industry all along the way. Not International corporations, local owned stuff.. aww yea..

Try to not allow yourself to ever Feel bored driving that same stretch. Dont get lulled into believing nothing can happen today, cuz youve been down that road so many times & nothing happened.. stay alert.

Thanks for caring man, but I would never let my guard down on that road. Lots of angled side streets that people whip out of like they be crazy! And the peak of the hill that I cross, has a busy cross-road, right at the peak, and its in a bit of a curve. Its hard to pull out from those side roads, so I always slow down, though many don't. And then there's the deer, etc, etc..... yea, never a dull moment on that road, fer shure.

I just said boring because its not all pretty/scenic/etc. Yet... Once the trees start changing colors, it will be prettier.

I have to ask, what is that item hanging on the bottom of the left side of your helmet? You can see something there in the head shots.

Its my communication system - Cardo Scala Rider. Hubby and I can talk to each other while riding. It also has FM radio, and bluetooth connection to cell phone.

Okay,... I've been playing with my new $1.49 keychain video camera ($16.00 when you add shipping and a 4gig mini SD card from Amazon)...(This camera eats a Gig of memory every 10 minutes, so buy at least a 4 gig card)...(half hour to a an hour of running time on a charge from the built-in lithium battery)...)...
Available here...
http://cgi.ebay.com/Mini-Car-Key-Chain-Camera-DVR-Covert-Video-Recorder-New-/...

... and I noticed this weird, underwater effect when it's hard mounted to the handlebars...
Here's a short video comparison of handlebar mount, and helmet mount...
First is the handle mount, then the helmet...

... and here's an exciting video, I call ...
"Bot returns a video in a ratty T-shirt"... Huh

...
(... again demonstrating the underwater vibration effect)...

Ludicrous Speed !... ... Huh

You think maybe the heat could be causing the "underwater" effect? And I bet you go to bed with that helmet on, don't you? (Oh, you need to fix the date on the camera too... haha)
