Default On Any Saturday....(helmet cam video)

Grab some popcorn and soda and surf over to the link below to watch as I navigate the trails at our family farm. After about a year of fussing around with a handlebar mount for my Oregon Scientific ATC2K helmet cam I finally glued a mount to the side of my helmet and made a true helmet cam. The results are better but not quite Hi Def. For the money I guess I shouldn't complain. I doubt that it will win any Oscars or Grannys(?) but maybe it will generate some buzz or ZZZ's. If this doesn't make the snow bound KLX'rs jealous then go to Amazon.com and buy a copy of Bruce Brown's "On Any Sunday" where I take most of my inspiration! (and if you don't know what "On Any Sunday" is then you need to buy it or rent it).

Special thanks to Nobrakes for some tips on getting up on Vimeo and for setting the video bar so high for the rest of us to follow!

Enjoy.....
Kmac

Nice vid, Kmac! Thanks for the tour around the farm, you have a great riding location there, those trails and fields look like a lot of fun. I'd love to get me a place like that - maybe someday.

I'm pretty lucky to have it. I "cut my eye teeth" there on a Kawasaki F7-175 back in the '70s. I go up on the weekends, make a few laps, do a little farming and get some fresh air and a break from the work week. The bikes stay at the farm so I just "arrive and drive" as they say. Beats having to load everything up, then unload, then load up .....and drive along way.

Thanks for taking us along. It's starting to warm up, up here, and I ready to get on the bike.
