Also, besides a few good motorcycle narrators, hearing some people speaking gets annoying in motorcycle videos, especially when they drag on conversations. This is especially anger-inducing in videos where the title will say something like "Motorcycle stolen and recovered." I click on videos like that, thinking there will be a video of a chase (there are a few...), but all I get is the guy, who is a regular at putting out motorcycle videos, talking about an incident. All the while, while he is speaking about the incident, all he is doing is riding around speaking about the incident. Teens and twentysomethings seem to love these so-called 'vloggers' but I don't get it. I want to actually see something interesting if the title implies it, rather than a mundane video of a guy riding and blabbing about an exciting event!

Your video is much more interesting than the usual schlock of videos out there...you are not babbling about anything, you don't have annoying music, and you showed us Volcano which is interesting in that I had never heard of your town until you joined Chinariders, and I grew up in So. Cal. Keep 'em coming!!
Thanks culcune. HAH! Music. That's a whole nuther thing to figure out!
I went out and shot another this morning and I'll see if I can replace the one above, once I figure out how to get it back over to You Tube.

Yesterday's was shot on 960/60, the setting that the Go Pro manual said would be the best for body mounted, action type of footage. This mornings I topped the camera out at 1080/60. The quality seemed much more "jerky" than the 960 but we'll see how it turns out if I can get it loaded over here.
