Socal meet and greet ride 9/4/16

Oh and btw can someone, computer savvy, organize a place to drop photos or videos in one place so we can download?

 

Thanks for organizing this Ragtop! It was a great ride, all the way around, getting to the meeting point, riding to lunch and even getting home. Sunday is the day to ride on a 3 day weekend! We had little to no traffic coming home and I don't think we saw but 2 CHP all day! Glad to be able to meet all of the members that came out today. Also another Happy Birthday shout out to Lint! Very cool the restaraunt gave him the plate of cookies to share.

Riprocop, I'll see if I can use a Dropbox account to post but it won't be for a while. Most likely tomorrow afternoon.

 

I don't have Dropbox, but here are a couple of pics from today.

 

Big huge thanks to all. First time headed west over Palomar Mountain Road since 1990! Lots of new roads for me. Big thanks to OOTV for lunch!!! Actually big thanks to everyone. You really made it a great birthday!
Got home and my wife greeted me with a DELICIOUS dinner, dessert and a new kind of beer!!!

 

Aaaanddd, to top it all off, my wife is watching MOTOGP with me! I'm blessed!

 

Nice!!!
Awesome day indeed. Good race too.

Well raw video is one thing but an edited video is another, that takes some time. I'll do my best but lots to do today...I'll do my best.

I have raw video on my Youtube, I have 5 uploaded and 5 more to go. PM me if you want to see them....

 

Yep. T30 Evo work quite well for a sport touring tire!

 

Well I'm a little bummed because the front camera footage of us going up the mountain wasn't that good, the camera lens was too fogged up at one point so I just went ahead and use mostly the rear camera footage. I think the other parts of the ride footage might be good but need more time to deal with editing. This one isn't the best but figured I'd post it none the less. You'll probably notice where I slowed down a bit as I had a moment with the rear stepping out, seems my PP3s are getting to their "greasy" point so had to keep the cornering speeds down.

Very well done, I was going to say don't you just love bugs, had that happen a few times *&^$! but then the fogging started in.. what would you say was the cause? still nice. now you just need to go out and do it over right?

 

I think the cause is the hole in the side of the case where I run the USB cable through to keep the camera powered while I'm riding. I think since the case is no longer sealed it starts to fog up. They have anti fog sheets that you can put inside the case so I'm looking into grabbing some of those for the next ride. I have a 200GB micro SD card in the camera so as long as I have an endless supply of power, I can probably get a whole weekend of riding from the camera. That being said, I think I was able to reduce the wind noise that the hole also introduced as I built a little wind shield with some silicone. Although the sound in most of the two camera videos is from the rear camera as it sits almost right above the exhaust, giving the V4 roar to these videos.

 

Looks like your rear spun in that first right after the first cattle guard on South Grade. That's a tricky turn if everything stays planted, let alone if the rear end trys to pass you on the exit. Nice job keeping that tidy.

 

Yep, that's where it was. I knew it was significant enough to be noticeable on video!

 

Thanks bud, just streamed it onto our flatscreen at work---everyone's all Roy must be in here because I always have racing on.
