Nice work Guzza, stabilization works wel on the camera and i like the choice of music, the lack of sunshine also added to the eery atmosphere.
Lots of unique things happened during this period, i watched the skies empty around N.Z. with only some international cargo flights operating and the lack of pollution with a website called "windy", made for interesting screenshots at times;

Cool, moody vid. Rather apocalyptic in some ways.

Hey Guaza, I'm trying to figure out where you were riding. I paused on a few of the exit signs but can't place where you are. I'm guessing somewhere north of L.A. like the 14, perhaps?

Freeway traffic is returning to normal in Orange County. Commute times look sort of like a limited government holiday, like Columbus or MLK day. To the point that being in a car would be tedious again. During the height of the lockdown in April, there would be no time advantage to riding with how light the traffic was.

Excellent video. What windscreen do you have on your bike?

You got it! That was on March 29th traveling north on the 14 from Interstate 5. I will sometimes ride that to the 138 and then back to LA on 15 south. Great ride up there.

Thanks! That’s a Slipstreamer part# S-03-C. It was my first modification and was drawn to this style because of the wind protection for the hands. If you decide to get one and plan on permanently mounting I recommend blue Loctite to secure the nuts and bolts in place once you have it all setup to where you like it.
