Photos from this weekend
« on: June 22, 2008, 10:42:57 PM »
I came up with the crazy idea of taking some photos while riding the bike. A few of them actually turned out. It's been slow around here lately so I thought I'd share. Next time I'm driving out in the country I'll try taking some more... driving downtown and taking photos was a little bit sketchy to say the least.

My favorite of all of them

I think my knee took this photo. Nice shot knee!

It's more fun to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow.

Good work!

Good stuff.

I've done that before trying to shoot short bits of video. It felt a bit dodgy trying to hold the camera with gloves on then stick it back in the tank bag when getting to traffic etc.

Is one of your handlebar clamp bolts loose?

Erik good eye -- it's actually a rare earth magnet that I put over the ignition keyhole when I use a disc lock. It does look like a loose bolt.

Those turned out pretty good, Mike.  I like the backlighting on the one from your knee.   :motorsmile:

Nice pics. I like that top one too. This is the best self-portrait I've ever been able to muster up on bike:



Little camera controls are hard to use when you have gloves on and you're rolling down the road...

Forde someone must have switched them around on you. I've had 3 sets of clocks and they were all in this order. They just bolt on, if the wires in the harness are long enough to reach you could just switch them around.
