I'm on call, gonna miss the kiss-my-60-degree-awesome-day ride tomorrow,
but we have mountains right here in Oconee County, and my mother-in-law
got me a new goPro camera for Christmas... I've had this idea to mount it
to my mirror...



My buddy Henry came over and we headed out to find lunch... Henry used to have
a bumble-bee Valkyrie, now he has an ST1100...

Here's Unity Church Road...







I always expect this guy to be coming out the driveway when I go by, no luck
yet...





Unity Church Road hits 76, and it's off to the mountains  cooldude





There's a side road you can hit to get an awesome vista right before you
get to the Chatuga River... to the left is probably Georgia mountains, to the right,
North Carolina...





Over the Chatuga River... queue the banjer music...





OK... we're over the hill, in Clayton Georgia... time to eat!



... but not at McDonalds... nope... a couple of blocks off the main drag... near
the Supply Mart...



... in a little strip mall, next to the Cash 4 Gold...



LaJerezana!

I'm not sure what that stuff they sell us in the Americanized Mexican
Restaurants is... revenge for the 1848 war maybe...  Grin ... but the actual
Mexican food that Mexicans eat, the food at LaJerezana anyhow, is
awesome... Here's the whole kitchen... I swear she was smiling, I
must have hit the button too soon...



My vote: Valkyrie envy!  2funny



We came back to South Carolina on War Woman Road, and stopped at the
Stumphouse Tunnel and Isaqueena Falls, first
time ever for me, even though I live right here...

Carolyn made a batch of tie dyes a couple of weeks ago, these pictures were
still on the camera...

Nice shots with the new camera. Do you have the option on that one to actually see what your clicking/filming?

Tell your wife great job on the shirts too! Size large please...  Cool

She got me this nice hat, too!

There's such a thing now as a GoPro HD Hero2... I have the GoPro HD Hero (not 2)...
I don't know the differences, but this new one is a lot better than the gummy little
3 megapixel one I've been using for the last few years...  cooldude ... this camera
seems very fish-eyed if you take a picture inside, or you can see some fish-eye in
the above picture, but "big pictures" don't seem fishy at all to me...


Hey Mike are they easy enough to use with out alot of figuring thinking about one for myself?

I have a lot of those pictures (like above) of me staring into it trying to figure out what to do next...  2funny

They're pretty easy to understand, the manual fits on two sides of a piece of paper... I think
they are a little cumbersome to try and manipulate while riding...

They have a little screen option (I don't have it) that fits on the back, then you can see what
you're shooting. I just get it pointed in a general direction and have it take a picture every
X seconds... I told Carolyn about the Tee shirt compliment  cooldude

I have the GoPro Hero 2, hope mine does a well as yours. If you plan to mount yours as in the first picture, I'd say you are a brave man, those cameras sell for well over 2 hundred.

If you are riding  and it is a must that you keep your eyes on the road, you are riding too fast.

Those little stick-on pads are stout. My other goPro rode stuck onto my air-wing for several
years... it's the suction-cup mounts that scare me...
