As is to be expected I soon got tired of shooting still shots and broke out my video camera. Here are some views of the makeshift camera mount I created when nothing was available to get the angle I wanted.  The images record just the front ½ of the front tire, and my camera system has 2 cameras I can mix or switch between.  I’m in the process of rigging a “safe” switcher control so that I can actually take advantage of multiple mini-cams that I can place on the bike in various spots and angles.  I’ve been getting some great footage such as some fun stuff on Lime Creek Road north of Austin, FM 1431 at the same place and a lot of trips in Washington state. . .

This shot shows another view of the camera mount, and a bit of one of my favorite additions: the Wing Warmers.  They allow me to vent ALL the heat from the radiator onto me rather than out the side.  We don’t get much cold weather in Texas, but I ride 365 days a year (sometimes even with ice on the ground) and when the cold weather comes these babies pay for themselves real quick!

   

The following shots show Phoenix with full video gear as she was right before I sold her:
