Default Why is personal riding video so scarce here?

I know all you guys have awesome bikes, and a large percentage probably have video cameras. Why aren't there more current videos of day trips? Is it an issue of legal liability?

There doesn't seem to be much enthusiasm for anything here. Where are the sights and sounds in "Sights 'N Sounds"?

I'll have footage from GrandSport Speedway in a couple weeks...first TD on the CBR. I'll be sure to post it up...should be interesting...

Here's one from TWS:

I'll definitely watch it. I'm sick of watching 480p stunter video with awful soundtracks on Youtube.

I'll work my way through your Youtube channel.

This is a good question.

I have one of those pocket keychain things that I have yet to try out but i'd like to, problem is I seem to have misplaced it in the move. I guess a GoPro might be a good investment as well.

Its on the to-do list.

You can get the 960p Hero for $170.

Every weekend we should be seeing a whole new set of videos by members of this forum. We've got members from all over the world who could certainly post awesome video to be enjoyed by all. In my short time here I've noticed only a handful of the same members ever seem to post unless someone has a question. I too am guilty of asking questions, but at least I'm trying to contribute in other ways.

I want to see some videos of back road day trips in Australia, Japan, Europe, Hawaii, the continental US. Where are they?

If you are bored , you can even click the link at the bottom of my sig pic and it will take you too a few of mine on utube
Yeah, I've taken a little crap for my videos. From more aggressive riders I get chided for entering turns to slow; from others I get criticized for speeding or crossing the lines.

I'll check out your vids. Love those old Hurricanes.

I don't currently have a video camera, but I do want to pick up a Go Pro at some point to get some bike/ski/car footage with.

However, this article Man Arrested After Posting 195 MPH Corvette Run On YouTube definitely has me thinking twice about uploading anything from some of the more "spirited" adventures. And I'll definitely pick a mounting point that keeps my speedometer out of the shot.

Aside from that, videos are awesome and I would love to see more posted up.
