A quick jaunt around the piece of road here that I use as a shakedown track. Another awful autumn day here. I am fairly sure I saw a small cloud way over in the background. Bert's Zorst is marvellous. As you can hear, the bike works a lot harder pulling a chair, but this K donk loves it.

Brilliant, but that blue sky must be a real bummer......jealous I am.
what's the story with the low flying bird at 3:02, at first I thought the RAAF were buzzing you ;-)
How have you mounted the camera, whatever it is works great.
and what loverly roads to ride on and not a white line to be seen. The whole road is your own by the looks of it, and not a lot of traffic either.
I better start saving for my ticket ;-0

I love the countryside here. Yes I thought it was an ME 109 banking across in front of me but I couldn't get to the trigger fast enough.

Sorry, I bought a universal type GPS holder...suction type...which wouldn't hold...so I ended up having to glue it with Araldite to the chair behind the3 windscreen. Then the hold which sits in a kind of cup and ball arrangement kept falling out.....so some blutac helped there....and the judicious use of some gaffer tape to hold the camera a bit steadier.

It's an Australian magpie. Fantastic birds...best warble in the business!

I whole heartedly agree with that.
Truely wonderful song.
Hope TWB does not catch this thread or he will be home in time for Narrandera.
In the mating season they can be so agressive they draw blood when they swoop on you and at other times so friendly they walk in to your house and take food from your hand.
Then crap on the floor and leave.
I had one used to follow me round the yard while gardening. It would grab any bug I unearthed while pulling weeds etc. Stand right next to me. Totally wild bird. But never swooped on anyone.
Getting all misty now.

Nearly 7 minutes and not another vehicle in sight!
Jealous...........who, me??
Paul.

Pretty good result Seanni, without the fairing in the frame the shake woul be less noticeable. Yor really are spoilt for roads there - A road that wide over here would be a national primary route full of traffic! I'd loose my liscence if I was let loose on them.

p.s. Where's the heavy breathing from Bella?

Awesome!Thanks for that.Love to see a shot with Bella cruising.

Yes it's all happening here folks. Try to contain yourselves as you get a tour around the thriving metropolis of Guyra NSW.

Must be about time you painted the shed Sean.

Next thing you'll be suggesting I straighten it up..........

nice one seanii ......um perhaps a quick blast up the highway ....and back off cackle would be good too huh ?

maybe down the hill around that 65 kph corner going down "ben lomond"

Nah ... We would have to organise a working bee for that.

I think we can probably arrange that, Charlie

Which road was that, I was trying to pick it but couldn't. Wards Mistake?

Yes, just a short loop from the Wards Mistake rd from next to the roadhouse and then right past the quarry and then onto the Ebor road.

Nice going Sean,
I followed your tour on Google earth, off New Eng Highway onto Bradley, McKie, Baldersleigh, Tingha, Llangothin and home.
At least that's the route I think you took.....made for an interesting tour of Guyra.

The images on Google earth show a much drier area than appears on your vid. the area looks a lot greener on your's.

What cam are you using coz the quality is v.good

DeRodster, it's just a little point and shoot Samsung digital camera which has an HD video capacity. 1280x720p. I just bought it as a point and shoot thingy.....but decided to give it a whirl. One of the advantages with the chair is that I can mount the camera behind the windshield and so get the sound of the bike without the awful wind noises.
Sean.

Yesterday was the first day of real summer (27 degrees and NO rain) and we went for a short 150k ride. A friend owns a go-pro camera and we decided to some shots of the chair. The only problem is that the camera was mounted on the fairing of a HD and it shakes like crazy.
When mounted on the helmet, the Go-Pro makes excellent videos. We'll try again.

Surely you're not saying Harleys(ies) vibrate?

holy cow I amazed they don't fall apart.....

The cameras don't but the harleys do

That's why we live in Guyra, 15 more K's and you would be at my driveway. I's great to ride 20 country K's to town, than 20 K's in city traffic to get to work.

So you're further east of town. Smithy?

Saxon7 wrote:So you're further east of town. Smithy?

21 k's out on the Wards Mistake rd, first property on the left past Tubbamurra rd. If your out this way stop in and say G;day.

Will do!

This is my first video from inside the rig showing the Nova Scotia roads. Nice twisties along a lake.
This is the last ride for the week end as we are waiting for a tropical storm and it will be pissing rain for the next 3 days.

Sit still girl! Sit still!!

It's a pleasure mate! :-)

some nice roads there Bert, Sean might have some tips for a mounting point in the chair , he and Bella are coming along really well,

definitely improving there Sean, great job by both of you.
hopefully you missed most of the wet stuff from the sky that trip.

thanks for sharing guys ( and gals)

Ed, that was the June long weekend when I went to Gloucester and Nabiac....rained all weekend of course.

thought it was, good to see you managed to escape with some good vid.
how was the traffic on Thunderbolts for that weekend,usually gets busy with the Hunter riders heading to Walcha and back.
you would have heard those guys coming for miles through the hills.

Traffic was ok Ed, apart from those Hardley Driveables getting in the way.

Went to Tamworth today and thoroughly enjoyed myself in the new-found sunshine! Well...after the fog burned off.

Wonder who that hoon was on the pink Beemer leaving Smithy's place at 8 grand this arvo? Sounded good!

I cannot tell a lie it was me and isn't it good to have it back on the road again. come to think of it twas doing about 8 grand when it popped the valve I wonder if that had anything to do with it. But BMW say you can run them at that speed all day.
