My area is thick with woods, rarely you can see further than hundred yards. That said I tend to ride closer to the middle - we are overrun by dear and suburbians in minivans. 
Must be interesting to ride in such open space, didnt experience anything like that except maybe some parts of Alps and France.  But the traffic is much thicker there.
Great video, thanks again.

Hey heffay, how did the gel seat pad work out? Up for a ride in the near future, before we start getting melted? Thinking of meeting in, say Payson, and riding around that area.

heffay,
    Thanks for the "RIDE" man !I felt like I was on the bike doing the driving myself...and I Needed a Ride on that road right now  :)... I've found that with the changing surfaces of the road + whatever is slippery on the lanes sometimes as far as traction is concerned will keep me moving to the best surface of the lane...no matter where that may be.

That must have been nice to be able to ride with no cars in front of you to block you're Line;the CB350F sounded good & it seems like you've got her dialed in Nice.  ;)

I'm thinking maybe this Saturday? (I'll start a thread on the open forum, in case any other riders want to escape the smog pit. ;))

Very cool I especially liked the old school reel film "artifacts".  I do have a suggestion for music selection next time.  How about a little BOC go go godzilla ;)

Go Go Godzilla is also a good choice, but wouldn't flow with the current theme... as you said though, next time  ;)  Artifacts?  like what, because I added none, are you referring to the shake, the ride added those.
On my end there were lines here and there and even flashes like watching a old reel projector.

Also I didn't notice anything wrong with your riding style.

The lines were probably from bright sun or reflection, most digital cams do it.  The jumps or flashes are my anti shake software at work... Be glad, the originals would make you seasick  ;)

Between Marble Falls and Fredricksburg, Texas, just before a three mile dirt road.  After that road, the bike is the dirtiest it has been in a long time.  It may take a month for be to get it back where it was.  :)

I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.

Those shots are only 10-15 miles from home. 15 miles in the other direction puts me at the base of Mingus Mountain, which is a bit more exciting! Hard to take pictures that do it justice, since it's unwise to stop in the middle of a 15 MPH off-camber hair-pin, with the mountain on one side and a drop-off on the other! ;D
