@MrHomeSkilet I would call US 30 the final version of Lincoln Highway. It roughly follows the path of Lincoln Highway in the twenties. The beginning and ending spots are a bit different and in Illinois parts of it follow Rt 38 instead of US 30.
I think seven going back to when I was on another site. Six were vloggers and one had a channel and commented and participated but didn't do videos. Could be an eighth one but I'm not sure.
I did ask her about her helmet being noisy. Mine is very quiet. I didn't know that there were adjustments for the shield fitting to the shell. Then again I never looked. Maybe I will check when we ride together next time.
It's not from the shield. It's from underneath, especially the sides. My neck is too skinny. I have the same problem with every helmet I try, no matter how snug it fits on my noggin'.
Besides, even if it were super quiet, I would still wear the earplugs to protect my hearing as much as possible (engine noise, etc.). My hearing is important to me, as it was my job for a few years (and I learned a lot about how sensitive the human ear is (often without us realizing it).
We have undercover police riders on big bikes, like the GSX-R. Hard to spot them when they're undercover, normally they have bluetooth headsets on their helmets and ride in groups, though alot of riders also do that!
Great assessment, Chuck! We are a breed apart in the motorcycling community! However, I'm afraid my camera setup would not be very interesting, as I just use a wee Cannon Powershot mostly. Still haven't bought a full-faced helmet. This winter, definitely! Done with freezing my face off!
When we do a meetup I would like to learn the post video editing and narration you do in your vids. Mostly making the narration NOT sound like narration. My attempts just don't sound very natural yet like yours do.
It would be a pleasure and an honor to share any methods, tricks or tips with you! And likewise, I would love to learn anything I could from you, about filming, or about the myriad things you could teach! You are quite the Jack-of-all-trades!
After I finish my meetup with Iroquois14 in KC I will be going to Omaha for another meetup. August 11 around noon to 1pm. Some friends of mine are picking the spot to meet. Keep in touch and I will let you know.
I knew this was going to be a great vlog when I saw the 'DD' logo. Chuck, good to see a seasoned biker shepherding a younger biker, especially, where to get the best cup of joe.
Man, it took me forever to get the camera set up... I cut that part out when I posted the video I just posted (still uploading and processing as we speak). It would be a great outtakes as a response to your vid here. Lots of me muttering and sighing...
aaahhhhhhhhhh............. i remember the days when i used to ride a 250cc. those were the days......... I would never ever go back to that bike again. hahahahaha! Get a 600 girl!
Why some folks can't understand the joys of the ninja250 I'll never know. Personally I'm not really into them, but I'd never tell an owner to get something else... 'tis far better indeed (& way more fun btw) to ride a slow bike fast than to ride a fast bike slow. idk why so many riders always overlook this truism.
LJ stick to the 250 & learn to master it 'cause if u do you'll be a much better rider for it. Work on ur skills & explore the FULL performance envelope of the 250...
I've seen the ninja250 at the track & it's plenty quick in the hands of a skilled rider... problem is many riders don't have the skills to understand that. I see (inexperienced) 600 riders getting passed by 250s on the track & the look on their poor faces is priceless! :-)
I'm sure she will when she is ready my friend...I've got a liter bike, have been lookin for a 250-400 lil runabout for the simple fun of it...weird how priorities change as you go along..
With u as a mentor & the amount of mileage she's racking up weekly, she'll be a seasoned pro b4 too long... She'll probably even gonna put out more of those *ahem* "squid only tutorials" too ;-) *heheheh*
Does she realize how fortunate she is to have u a mentor like u? Most noobs just wish they could be so lucky :-)
Does YouTube realize how lucky they are to have me making vlogs here. LOL just kidding......
Seriously she is doing fine and wants to start learning group rides. I have a special team of teachers for doing group rides. All of them are seasoned vets and close friends and family members of mine.
Her plate is a Missouri plate and she is living in Illinois so even on the slight chance someone would do something it would be a dead end.
I think the thing about editing out plates is a bit over blown myself. Illinois only allows access to that info by law enforcement agencies and Secretary of State. And even then for business reasons only. Cops have gotten busted for running plates for personal reasons.
You know, I often wonder about whether or not to hide my plate. I imagine a really determined person could find info on me and "hunt me down," but since thousands of people see my plate as I ride anyway, I figure the risk is the same. Plus, should any fool actually try anything dumb, my wife is registrable as a lethal weapon, if not a weapon of mass destruction!
whoa... cruiser vs street lol weird riding combo :P cool:)

there is an arai video, that shows you how to tigten the arai shield to the helmet.
Instant decrease in volume.
they say that helmets that come brand new, they probably still need to retigten the visor.
