Had great lunch ride with Hornblower and some of his ridding buds. BBQ at Speedy's in Lexington, NC. I had to come to the airport for work but the rest rode on. Weather Sunny and 63 deg. Wow we will take it.:Saweeet smilie:

Yeah, what a day in NC! We definitely try to jump on these warmer days when they occur. Lexington, NC is famous for BBQ so Speedy's is often a "destination".Quote:

Seriously, PICS PICS PICS! Be a sharing bear!Quote:

There were pics posted some time back of my rear tire but I don't know if they're still on the forum or not. If anyone has something specific they would like a pic of, just say the word and I can do that. :icon_biggrin:
Just messing with ya, but if we're gonna rub it in to the guys with PMS (Parked Motorcycle Syndrome) we should at least let them see some pics. :icon_mrgreen:
:yikes: I afraid that Hornblower's mug would cause me photo machine to malfunction. :poke:Quote:

That way, when I get much older, I can look back and remember when I could ride faster :shock: In the meantime, I just have to remember to use the camera in my Galaxy S4. It actually does a pretty good job.
YOU...have a Galaxy S4 ? Geezzzzz...I am still using an old rotary dial flip phone...just ask Kevin and Dale. They always laugh at my old phone. :icon_frown:Quote:

Anyway, what was unique to this camera was that it also included a wrist band, like a watch, but it was the remote control unit for the camera, so if the camera was mounted up on the dash...you could just use the remote unit on your wrist, to take pictures. (possibly this is already old news, and I am just SO old, that everyone else on the planet, including HB and DS, already knew about this stuff.

I used to take a lot of pictures on my trips, but no one wanted to see them, and I was there!Quote:

Of course, I know you're not really being serious about being OLD and SLOW and neither am I :icon_biggrin:. Speaking of cameras, there are several so-called action cameras available today but most are in the $200 to $400 range. Still, I will probably hold out for the GoPro Hero. Yep...still a redneck but now it's ridin' an F6B with a GoPro on the dash. Some things never change :clap2:.
Worse comes to worse, you can just hang a point and shoot camera around your neck and shoot pictures from the saddle. I've done that with my Canon. Takes better photos than my Drift that I mount to my helmet.Quote:
