Let's see your CB1100 out on the road!

That’s much nicer than the tail end of my commute. I pass two gas stations, go down a street that’s perpetually under construction and cut through a park to get to my back gate.
 
Yeah, the back side of the commute is pretty nice, but the front part is typically from the bowels of the military industrial complex and involves a beltway of one variety or another...

The roads around here remind me a bit of the Ohio roads from the 2021 gathering...
 
Agree. Lovely tail end for a commute.

Indeed. I think it was your video with the 360 degree cam that got me interested in noodling around with them. The audio is surprisingly good. I didn't do anything to mitigate wind noise, but it didn't seem to be a problem.

Another point of view from the same video at the same time.




The point of view is a bit extreme given the camera mounting (top of helmet)...but it's fun to play with. It's supposed to render out the stick holding the camera, but that didn't seem to work in this case. I'll have to experiment some more.
 
Those views, and my fledgling efforts to produce more videos really makes me want one of those 360 cameras.
I'm still using a single GoPro 8, and I just blew my tech budget on a new (used) phone that will allow me to communicate with newer rental cars when I travel. Recently had a brand new Chrysler say "eew, that phone is so old, I won't talk to it."
 
Did a ride last evening to one of my favorite places in the nearness of my hometown as a preparation for an upcoming one week tour next week to the Weserbergland in my country. The CB runs fine as usual.

 
Great video Tommy. Love the photo Wisedrum

I played hooky from work Tuesday. Here's why:

Reason 1

My view at roughly 7:00am Tuesday from the cafe' near my office

Reason 2

My weather app at 10:30am

I told my staff that I had a client appointment outside of the office at 2:00 and that I would likely not be back in the office by 5:00. I'm reasonably certain that they knew that there was no client and no chance that I would be back in the office by 5:00.

Rode north along St. Mary's Rd. then circled to the east and came south on Sheridan Rd. along Lake Michigan. Stopped for coffee and a snack in Lake Bluff and finished the 87 mile loop back at home a little after 5:00. Great way to spend an afternoon even if it meant a pretty hectic catch-up day on Wednesday.

She wasn't going to let me outside with the ceramic mug until I told her I would tag Hansa in my Instagram post. I prefer my coffee in a mug and am not am not afraid to compromise myself to have it that way.
