Took the RT for a little spin over the weekend. Rode to Alpine TX on Friday, and had dinner at Reata. Was fantastic. Saturday headed to Big Bend National Park. the scenery was spectacular and the temps got to the low 90's. Some pics are posted here http://www.panoramio.com/user/3088648

It's been years since I rode to BBNP. 1972 on my 1971, 750 R/S BMW. Hope to be able to do again someday on our 2010 RT Spyder.

I am curious about your video set-up and mount. Looking at options to do ride videos of our group rides.

Thanks.

You are so lucky to live so close to BBNP.

We went there last spring and will go back again. So beautiful an area and so much to see.

Thanks for the videos. They're great!

A wonderful video. Thank you for sharing it with us. It is almost as good as being there. Great camera mounting angle and view. Other have asked about particulars so I will wait and see. Would love to give you folks some Alaska rides like this view. It was great to be cruising down a road again. Now I am even more eager to get riding again. About 3 weeks and hopefully I will be on the road again.

The camera I used, is the GoPro HD Motorsports package. I used their suction cup mount on the right side engine cover. I tried to mount it on the fender, but the vibration was heavy. I'm not all that sure I trust it staying put for long distances. I would feel better with a way to tether it. They also have adhesive mounts in the package, may go that way eventually.

Nice. I'm looking at the GoPro SD, the cheaper version. I am interested to know how easy it is to operate .

So simple a truck driver can do it. :roflblack: Two buttons. Top is the shutter, front is on-off/settings.
