Rainy Day Little Adventure
Today, here Los Angeles, rain...alot.
It's been long time this much rain here, so I was little exited. I wanted to ride, need some excuse for in this rain??? Get a movie and some snack/food... ha ha ha. Ready to go, I tried to mount my new HD camcorder >> dropped and no picuters.... NO PROBLEM, I can use my old water-proof small camera for this adventure. Here is the video for my rainy day little adventure ..

Re: Rainy Day Little Adventure
Busy, you are definitely a rider for all seasons. But please do not ride and hold the camera. I know you were experimenting but it is quite dangerous.

I wouldn't do that if my new camcorder wasn't broken... But after today's adventure, I feel that I can implement some kind of Camera Mounting on the Rider's Body(Jacket)??? I don't know yet, ... just blink of idea on my head. I like ride in the rain alot; don't know why??; but riding in the rain gave me my old memory of Riding Bycycle In The Rain.. ha ha ha... But not like riding under cold weather which you might have to encounter every winter time... Thanks

I'm just a basice member, joined at last year??? don't remember. And I visit forum when I got bored and need some INSPIRATION for my next riding... ha ha ha. The members of ADV are really great humans at least with Motorcycle Riding >> I admire them really. And alot of nice riding information >> sadly most of them for the Dual-Sports or Dirt bike. So, I consider that I want to have some cheap/used one; like bmw F800GS or F650GS Twin??? >> um, expensive But no budget for me, need to save $$ >> may be next year or later ha ha ha O.K. whenever I got ADV, let me check your ID ...

Re: Rainy Day Little Adventure
As I don't want to spend $ and time to fix my camera, I tried to fix it myself.

Re: Rainy Day Little Adventure
A faster method would be to just drop it again to get things unstuck. So easy even a caveman could do it. LOL. Seriously though, I do admire your talents and inventiveness.

After fortunate fix, I felt great.. ha ha ha 1. I tried to re-screw some left overs, but still left couple of them and some metal tensioner??? Didn't figure it out where to put... but seems O.K. so far. Do you want to have those >> I can send you ha ha ha. 2. I won't try (actually Can't) >> Wheelies, Canyon Leaning, and Off-Roading for a long time...... ha ha ha 3. Yes, I tried to hit the camera on soft part >> didn't worked. (Yes, it sometimes worked for me) Tried to find Sanyon Digital Camera Service Department in So. CA >> no luck.... I thought that it might take at least month to be fixed >> Yes, try it myself... Thanks ....
