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)
Number 1 was looking the other way.
I thought that was going to be that for the day. omg.
He pulls out right after the pass then turns and heads south.
Number 2 was the moment of hesitation then hard breaking

After having to go thru a bunch of "SIGN UP FOR FLICKR" bullshit I got this:

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Love how you looked down, checked your speed, made sure you were out of range, then started passing over double-yellow again

BTW, GoPro Hero? Or something else?
The helmet mount is nice.

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.

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.
