Title: Luckyyy...Lucky Post by: Desmostro on January 03, 2010, 11:04:36 PM Ever have one of those moments of hesitation before hitting the gas really hard and then realize you just saved your arse by milliseconds.
twice. The usual hwy 1 antics on this blissful chilly day (short Video 1:31) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8mQOI5NqWs Number 1 was looking the other way. [coffee] I thought that was going to be that for the day. omg. [bacon] He pulls out right after the pass then turns and heads south. Number 2 was the moment of hesitation then hard breaking ;D Title: Re: Luckyyy...Lucky Post by: desmoquattro on January 04, 2010, 04:26:16 AM Private page on the Flickr site...and I didn't see a video link?

Title: Re: Luckyyy...Lucky Post by: Desmostro on January 04, 2010, 06:28:53 AM fixed [roll]
Title: Re: Luckyyy...Lucky Post by: Michael Moore on January 04, 2010, 06:33:00 AM Damn, first nice day in a while and they're all over the place! [leo]
Title: Re: Luckyyy...Lucky Post by: desmoquattro on January 04, 2010, 06:37:52 AM Love how you looked down, checked your speed, made sure you were out of range, then started passing over double-yellow again [thumbsup]

first beautiful day in a while? both guys were tokin' a fattie enjoying the sunshine Title: Re: Luckyyy...Lucky Post by: Le Piou on January 04, 2010, 07:53:39 AM Love how you looked down, checked your speed, made sure you were out of range, then started passing over double-yellow again [thumbsup] +1 ;D Title: Re: Luckyyy...Lucky Post by: Michael Moore on January 04, 2010, 08:09:42 AM BTW, GoPro Hero? Or something else?
The helmet mount is nice. Title: Re: Luckyyy...Lucky Post by: Desmostro on January 04, 2010, 08:40:48 AM give a cop a break first beautiful day in a while? both guys were tokin' a fattie enjoying the sunshine [laugh] [thumbsup] BTW, GoPro Hero? Or something else? The helmet mount is nice. VHold HD Turned out to be a nice little camera. 135degree wide angle. 16Gig hard drive - 4 hours a battery. Cylindrical form is fairly aerodynamic. - way more than GoPro. Helmet mount was a little challenging but I think I got it figured out finally. Title: Re: Luckyyy...Lucky Post by: Michael Moore on January 04, 2010, 09:32:59 AM Ya, the GoPro does seem like a bit of a sail. On the bike it prolly isn't a huge deal, but I could see where at (ahem) speed it might be a (literal) drag on your helmet.

The Gopro is fairly aerodynamic when you couple it with a suction cup Mohawk. That's why it's a top seller at Cycle Gear.

I like the VHold HD design a LOT. I hate the GoPro one... But it seems that while the GoPro is just a little bit better for the picture, the GoPro mic is way less sensitive to the wind than the VHold... So I just don't know which one to pick...
