Motorcycle Ride in Oahu, Hawaii on a BMW F800GS

[sockeyehealey]

Great video. Can't brag about camera, though. Just about bought one, but I'll try home-made contraption/mount first. Rented Shadow then a Yamaha Star through same outfit last year. Will rent BMW next time. A lot of fun. Took body surfing/lunch/pub breaks around island. Thanks for reminding me to get back.

@sockeyehealey

Yeah, the video quality is not ideal, and I had it aimed a bit too high as you saw... What a beautiful place - can't wait to go back someday!

"I recently returned from a once-in-a-lifetime vacation in Oahu, Hawaii... "

I always feel sorry when I hear people say thing like that since I live here

Great video man music everything, what is the helmet camera brand?

[bgorrell]

It is a Go Pro - was a bit disappointed the angle wasn't better though! Thanks...

[ptittigrou1]

superbe video franchement merci

[jamalcemal]

can you send me a copy of your track?  I LOVE IT!

[Eisenrot]

Loved the chillin music, goes just fine for joyride :) Next time I'll try some jazz too (Chet Baker or Dizzy) while riding my f650!

So long: Sam from Hungary

Thanks for the kind words - best wishes!

whats up with the music ?

[bgorrell]

The music is my jazz group playing live - I am playing the tenor sax...

[bladerunner6]

do not like your camera position at all, i think you can do better like Spencerian does, check him out, he is the best i have seen on YouTube sofar

[bgorrell]

Yeah - I am not in expert by any stretch with the camera - sorry you didn't like it! Only posted this for fun anyway...

Great video , I agree with the jazz it goes well with the bike. I just purchased one 2 months ago and have 4k miles already.

[bgorrell]

Thanks!!

Such a great video, I love the jazz music in the background gives the idea of a smooth ride. Thank you for sharing.

[bgorrell]

Thank you!

How much is the rental fee?

[bgorrell]

I paid $175 for 24 hours - a bit high, but of course so is everything else in Oahu!

[ZZRMan]

yeah but being able to ride a F800GS on the island - priceless.

So how did it perform?

[bgorrell]

The F800GS is a great motorcycle! Just saw how it was voted dual-sport motorcycle of the year in Cycle World, August 2009... Was a blast!

Makes the world look really curved haha

[bgorrell]

Yeah - the camera is a fish eye type - glad it didn't look that way for real or I would have likely slid of the edge!!
