Took some video today while I was out riding. This starts at the Look Out but I didn't run that hard as there was 5 cops coming down the hill before I started and I was a little freaked out about that. ::)

About 2/3's through my sound cut out and I'm not sure why but the video is still pretty good. If you have 18 min. to kill click on the link :doorag:

Wow, what a beautiful area. I am still partial to my Colorado mountains but Deal's Gap looks nice! Thanks for the video.

Good video, Lamont. Hope to get over that way one-of-these-days! What did the T-Rex owner think of the Spyder?

Wow....a Spyder and a T-rex together. You should have traded rides for about 5 minutes!

Hey, that looked like fun. :bigthumbsup: I was starting to get dizzy watching all of those twisties! No sound was missing. Man, watching this video made it like I was actually riding that trail myself on the Spyder. Very cool! :a18:

Meant to ask you earlier ............... Where, how, ...... do you have your camera mounted - and - how did you get the exhaust sound over the usual wind noise? Thanks ... Thinking 'bout a video camera set-up.

The T-Rex guy was cool and really liked the Spyder. He drove that thing all the way from OK. :doorag:

Not sure how I go the pipes over the wind but I used a ram mount on my mirror. It's just a cheap little camera too.

;D :a20: 8) I think it's hilarious that everyone is looking at the Spyder instead of the T-Rex!

We have a 2004 T-Rex too, and it's the same where ever we go with both of them. The Spyder always gets most of the attention. :bigthumbsup:

Seeing that video makes me want to move out of Florida more than I already do. This state is so flat, there is no where like this to ride. The SpYder is my first open air riding experience and I'm quite limited in my choices of road here.

At Deals Gap you can buy a T-shirt that says; 318 curves in 11 miles. Last year while I was in Daytona, I saw a T-shirt that said; Florida - 11 curves in 318 miles !!! I feel your pain... ::)

Great video, found myself down shifting a up shifting through most of it. U did a great job with the video. A ride like that really put the Spyder to the test. Curious though, what was your max speed, I know you were playing it safe after seeing the cop cars, but I was just wondering because it looked as if you took a few of those curves at 40+ :bigthumbsup: :spyder:

Never really looked at the speed. :dontknow: I'm sure I was doing the speed limit the whole way. ;D

I MUST find that shirt!!!! Sad when the only "hills" in your state are land fills. And the only "curves" are the entrance to the highway...
