Chasing the Sun

I like it. Well done. Looked like a good ride on a good road in good weather.

Cheers

Thank you! I think there will be quite a few more rides at sunset in my future. The weather had cooled to a perfect temperature and added to a great ride.

Very Nice. I counted exactly FOUR cars in the entire video, including at the immigration station. I would KILL for those kind of open roads here around Chicago!

Haha! Well, there were more cars than that. I got caught behind a few but edited them out of the video. Still, that road, at that time, is relatively open. It's far enough out of the city and away from the coast that traffic is very light. Not for one second do I take it for granted!

Well done! I think I'll go for a ride this evening.

Thanks MTC! I hope you did get out for ride.

Great video MG. I especially like the camera perspective. A few times I noticed what I call the "wagon wheel effect", instead the rotor looked like it was going backwards. Are the roads always that bare ?

Thanks Chap! I saw that too. I really like this filming angle. I noticed a lot more bounce when I use the helmet mounts. I must have a springy neck. There's also a moment in the video when the sun is shining through the wheel and the holes in the brake rotor that I found to be pretty cool.

During the week that two lane road gets somewhat congested. Big trucks hauling gravel and construction supplies clog things up. But on the weekends, it tends to be relatively open and empty. We have a large interstate that also runs east and west that most people take who want to get to where they're going quickly. For those of us who appreciate winding roads, it's hard to beat the 94. Most weekends, between 8am and 10am, the road has a ton of motorcycles. A large number of them being sport bikes tearing through the corners.
