The music isn´t from Deep Purple. Can someone tell me from which is this song. Thanks ake

Yes, you are right. The sound track was disabled, and I used the audio swap feature to add some music. Whats odd, is the song information is not popping up now, and I have no clue who the artist is.

Beautiful scenery and great footage... so smooth. I see that you tagged it with the HF100 (I have one too)... How did mount it? From the shooting angle it looks like you mounted it on your helmet?

I ride a KLR 650 and anything bike mounted comes out way too shaky... Let me know how you did it.

rdks,

Thanks for the comments. You are correct in that I mount the camera on the top of my helmet. There are two key points to obtain the quality illustrated in these videos. First, the camera mount must be calibrated to point in the desired direction. Second, the rider must practice capturing footage to learn how to manage the viewport.

Yes, when things cool off a bit, a run through the Houston area would be good. I really need to capture more of my local stomping ground, and post them. Thanks for your comments. Cheers,

Doug....

Always enjoy your videos. You might want to try 149 and 3090 from Montgomery to Carlos if you ever get close to Houston. But it looks like you have no problem finding Nice Roads.
