I was inspired by Youtuber Seaman / Japanese Moto Girl’s videos to try out a couple of new camera angles. For my previous videos I used the chin-mount, but I think I now prefer the chest-mount. I just need to angle it up a bit more (as you can see in the video). I also put the GoPro on the handlebars for the selfie view, which I also like. But since I only have one GoPro, it’s not convenient to switch out the one camera to different mounting locations.

I guess if I ever get serious about making more motorcycling videos, I can get another GoPro, but for now, I’ll be satisfied with knowing it can be done.

Enjoy the video!

I stopped by the BMW Motorrad dealer today to pick up a few parts I ordered and enjoyed checking out all the beautiful bikes. These R nineT Scramblers were so cool!

Always fun to check out the toys. 😀

This evening I did a bit of maintenance on Kiki (my motorbike): check oil, check coolant level, and check battery water level. I also removed some wiring I had added to rig up a Garmin GPS unit that I no longer use.

Then I went for a few laps around my neighborhood testing out different GoPro settings, and I have found that on my GoPro Hero9, Wide with High stabilization seems to be best. This is for the chin-mounted camera position. I want to add a handlebar cam that points back at me, and I have a mount set up for either GoPro or iPhone. I just need to test it out. Maybe later this weekend. 😀

I hope you had a good day! またね〜

This morning I woke up early and went for a fun motorcycle ride. First, I went to Lime Creek Road which is a twisty two-lane route that is one of the better ones in the area for motorcyclists. Even though it is very close to where I live, I have only ridden it a couple of times, but I highly recommend this route!

After that, I rode around downtown Austin before stopping for coffee at Sa-Ten, and then headed back home. A fun morning!

Please check out the video I made of the Lime Creek Road portion of the ride:

I hope you had a nice day!
