This is posted in the quick board section, and I thought you might be interested. Gotj, Etennuly, 86129squids and others made a great run to the dragon with the new owner of an 1125R. I posted a still photo gallery and five videos of 1125R footage including the footage of me following the 1125R on our dragon run. I suggest watching the videos in order from 1 to 5. For some reason the gallery displays them left to right from 5 to 1. The Dragon Run video is uploading now so if you don't see it check back. Enjoy! http://gallery.mac.com/markrlarsen |

That was hilarious trying to hear you guys talk with three Ulysses fans singing at the same time. Been there done that but never three at a time |

Yep, if we work it just right we can do three part harmony! |

Mark - that's the first time I've seen the new album format at dotMac. I like being able to scrub thru the photos and videos from the browser. If y'all want to see what I'm talking about, put your cursor on an album preview and slowly move it across the icon pic. You will see all the pix, or a scrub preview of the video. Very nice, thanks Z |

Mark - I'm at work now, on my Dell POS. I only see 1-4 of the Dragon Run. etennuly nice Big Ass Windshield, VERY nice fitment. What was the camera? It takes very watchable movies. That and the tech-mount would be a cool addition to the 1125R. Then my wife could see what it's like, 'cause she WON'T ride on it with me. Z |

Zack, the camera is a Panasonic HDC-SD5 Hi Def. It records to a memory card. Mac's handle the AVCHD format of this very well. It's under $1,000 with a DVD burner. Circuit city has had it as low as $800.00. The ride videos are up now. They are a little blurry due to the heavy movement and compression in the camera. I used a handlebar mount for the ride shots. Pretty shaky on the Uly. Probably much better on the 1125. I'm a recent convert to the Mac. Check out my company's stuff at http://www.digitalmediaone.com |

I did this morning. Watched you giving a rundown on some of the stuff y'all do. I'll check y'all out more in the morning, long end-of-day. Z |

Nice, Mark. Finally got to see some of the Dragon. I bet that's a freaking beautiful ride in the early summer. I can't wait till Summer gets here so I can hit the mountains. A couple of roads that go up along rivers or creeks nearby are like that, just not for as long. Mmmm, Peak to Peak... Early rides are slow with sand and gravel, but after that gets knocked off the road it's lotsa fun. Screw sugarplums, I know what I dream about. Z |

Nice videos Mark, I wish I was further up north where there is some good riding... Not too much in Florida where its mostly straight and flat. The guy on the the 1125R has some good lines IMO. |

Hi Johnny. I used to live in Phoenix so I can relate to the straight and flat. None of us were burning up the curves that day, but there is something about the Dragon when you get in the zone after several corners and it all starts to flow. Look us up if you ever get over this way. We'll show you some of the best twisty Buell roads in the U.S. |

Hehe, I might have to do that! There is a train route that goes from Tampa to NY and you can take a vehicle. Take the train up with the bike and ride back down... One day |
