You know, many years ago I knew a welder. I swear, that guy could take a piece of hanger wire and weld up some artistic welds on thin aluminum, while having a conversation with you... and rebuilding a lawnmower engine with his free hand...
He was just one of those guys that made your best effort look weak in comparison... Know what I mean?
I've made a couple of videos over the last few months trying to learn the craft... and improve my ability to build good content for the site...
The other day, as I was surfing around, looking at what other folks have done with videos... to get ideas... I stumbled across this video of a "Biker"... making a run on the "Dragon's Tail" at Deals Gap...
While the video itself might not be superior quality... it's the content of this particular Motorcycle Video that caught my attention...
I think... that I'll keep it around... and any time I get to thinkin' that I'm some bad ass biker... I'll watch this video... to put my ego back in its proper place! :o)
Makin' a Goldwing run like that? Whooooooowheee! THAT my friends... is a genuine, unadulterated, double rectified, Biker! with certified, oversized, solid brass Cajones! ;o)
... and then... stop and consider something... there's TWO of 'EM! the guy filming is riding a Winger Too!
pssssssssssss.... that's the sound of my ego, slowly lettin' out a lil' air! :o)
Grab Your Handles and Ride!

Listen carefully as they go into the turns, that slight scrapping noise are the engine heads scraping on the street. That limits your lean into the corners. Used to have a Goldwing and that is a very unnerving sound when you are riding an 800 pound plus bike.
Safe travels, Eric
Eric... :o) I think maybe I'm one of those fellas that so many don't understand...
My Ol' Raider is slung pretty low... so when I run the twisties like those fellas... my footpegs hit the asphalt pretty soon... but... it makes me giggle :o) I'm just impressed with how smooth and graceful, those boys push those Wings through the Dragon... It's a classy bit of riding... at least to me! :o)
