Thanks boobtubeviewr! Yes, got the Vado a couple weeks ago, got the full face (flip up, on my) last weekend. Just haven't had time to get it all together. It definitely was a strange ride and I got some looks on an 80 degree day with jeans, t-shirt and full face helmet on. It definitely changed peoples "waving" pattern. :o) Ride Safe!
Thank Mike! You grew up in Mass, so maye you've been through here. By UCONN. I also have video of a ride down 195 through UCONN, but mostly it's just of being stuck in college traffic. The whole helmet debate. Yes I'm lucky I get to choose. But then sometimes when I don;t wear a helmet (out for a cruise), you wonder why you're not wearing it, because if something happens, etc. If you have to wear it all the time, then it's a no brainer (pun intended, except I guess it would be a "brainer").
You know, I've only really ever driven through CT on the way to NY, NJ, DC or Carolina. We Massholes always complain that CT is endless!!! That stretch of 95 goes on forever!
I've been down to Danbury a few times. And my brother is a permanent guest of the state, if you know what I mean ;^o
Awesome vid Gunner!!! Thanks very much for the scenic tour,Beautiful country!!! I think @ 3:14 I saw an Eagle or a Falcon!! How cool is that? The GoPro works real nice!! I tried to rec a vid on my FLHRP with a camera phone in my top pocket...needless to say it didn't work out so good!!! lol!!
Thanks Pat. the ride was great, not sure about video quality though. It could be a bit clearer. Maybe I have to tinker a bit. Yes, that was a BIG bird. Could have been a turkey buzzard. Had one think it could take off from the side of the road and out fly me until he almost bounced off my windshield. He decided to change flight path and went straight up like at an air show! Incredible! Didn't have the camera with me. I could have reached out and pet it. Yes, I tried the "pocket cam" too. Peace!
My pleasure Papa2two! I borrowed this GoPro. I would really like the GoPro HD when it comes out. Just got a Vado HD at a ood price, and a fullface to join the club! : o) Wow, POV 1.5 very nice! Ride Safe!
"... I'm jumping on the Vado bandwagon and may have to get the full face helmet."
-- Glad to hear it SG. I'm gonna subscribe now & I look forward to ur motovlogs.
Btw, you'll forget that ur wearing the FF helmet soon enough... U might even be pleasantly surprised by the pluses of going FF ;-)

Awesome! Looks very familiar!
I loved the soundtrack too!
Though it may sound irresponsible to say this, I still have to say I envy the fact that you can ride without a helmet if you want to!

Hey Pat, that weren't no falcon, it looked more like a pterodactyl! Dang!
Oh, and good luck getting some video footage of your own! I'd love to see it!
