Martin's View

I've always held the belief that regardless of the brand of bike or style of rider, all riders are cool and I respect at a basic level all of them equally. Now, some excel in the area of riding and others are on a bike to enjoy the many things on the road that I do, such as the sites and smells.

Martin, who can be found online as MBonadio has always been a leisure rider and a really great guy. OK, then there is the fact that for a while he seemed to trade for a new bike every 6 months. Anyway, Martin just recently went on a 3-day trip to the Grand Canyon. He took his time, enjoyed the ride and then came back and shared his adventure in a way that many do, by posting pictures. You can find his report here - Click!

But, today Martin posted probably one of the best reports of a trip I've ever seen. You probably already watched it because it was posted at the top. I've seen a gazillion ride video's some really good and some really bad, but this representation of a ride really strikes a chord with me and makes me smile.

Thanks for sharing Martin, and please don't stop making videos!

Watch Out Hollywood!

Here I come!

Ha ha, OK maybe not, but give me some time and you never know, right?



I've fussed with several different types of video systems and couldn't really find what I was looking for. I got a very pricey digital camcorder for Christmas a few years ago, but it was about impossible to use with my Mac. Then I tried a remote lipstick type camera with a digital recorder and it was OK, but the camera I got was a rearview camera and I had to flip everything to look right.

Then I go a GoPro Hero camera, but it didn't really hit the mark for me, although it is a really cool camera.

Then, out of the blue, a refurbished Canon MiniDV camera was posted up on Engadget for $139 and I grabbed it up. Right off the bat this much easier to deal with and I think this is going to work.
