I never watch anyone's video. I feel it's like a fisherman who lives right on a lake gets asked to watch a video of someone fishing.

Well, I feel a lot better now. I thought it was just my videos you didn't watch George! I told you guys it wasn't just me!

I totally understand the sentiment but there are plenty of things I enjoy doing that I also enjoy watching videos of. For example: surfing, diving, martial arts, making love ... er, lovely floral arrangements ...

Motorcycling is no different. I watch videos on YouTube. Some professionally done, others shot by guys like us. It's fun for me. Have I convinced you yet? No? That's okay. I still love you George.

RE: Me messing around with my GoPro
I watch motorcycle videos but I lose interest if there is head banging music, or a lot of wind noise, or if someone is just going down a straight road for a long time. On a video I'm generally good for up to 15 minutes.

I also watch motorcycle movies... Long Way Down, Long Way Around, On Any Sunday, Wild Hogs, Worlds Fastest Indian etc

RE: Me messing around with my GoPro
Well done, Mr Un_Decider! Really enjoyed the "ride-along". Your bike is setup beautifully.

Don't know where you pitch your tent in the Lone Star but if you're ever up near the Red River country give me a shout. Got some nice roads up here.

I like your windscreen - I think you called it a "Dart". Can you offer me a bit of info on it? Specifically:

Is it available in clear?
Where can it be purchased?
Approx $?
How it's mounted? Difficulty level to do so?

I like it's size...

Again, very good job on your video.

Thank you for the kind words of compliment!

That is the Dart Marlin windscreen, $180 shipped. The Marlin is their larger screen. I started with their original Flyscreen which is about $20 cheaper. All of them are available is light, dark, and midnight tint. Mine is the dark. Here is the link to their site:

Dart is based in the UK. You see a lot of their stuff on Triumphs.

It mounts really easy. You get new headlight brackets that hold the wind screen brackets. It's all very clean and factory looking unlike universal fit items. The hardest part is adjusting the headlight since the new brackets don't have any sort of indexing marks to line things up when you bolt it all back together. I just eyeballed it and then made my final adjustments after dark.

Don't forget the all time classic - Easy Rider.

UD, I had to watch your nicely done video again... Wanted another look at your Dart windscreen, and also to enjoy the ride.

It's shot with the chest strap mount.
