Went to TC website to view the vid, they did a nice job except for the "gut-wrenching" part. Glad to see you mentioned, KB, although you ain't no papparazzi. Nice that they used some of your stills too. Good Karma!
Les got caught with the on board camera completely cutting an inside corner in the oncoming lane!
Thank ya! The footage from Les was flipped video at some points, Les doesn't ride on the wrong side of the road.
Love it KB, but you do shoot Dragon celebs like us!
I like how they mentioned the problem with tractor trailers,and I figured they fliped that left knee going over the white line.I did jump up and yell at the TV when I first saw it.
Flipped video???? If your left knee is on or near the white line then you are on the wrong side of the road!!
Saw it Sunday night.
Good Stuff!
My 75yr old Father got a kick out of it!
Just google image flipping a video or rotate.The camera was mounted on one side of the bike.The editor that put the clips together for the show obviously wanted shots of the knee on the ground going left and right.How do you do that with the camera on one side of the bike?Flip the video.The mind of a video editor is a strange thing!
If you flip a picture or video you flip the complete image therfore if your left knee is on or near the white line you are on the wrong side of the road.
no its like looking at a negative frome the back the video was of the right knee
@2WO: Old Dogs, New Tricks--maybe your Dad should bring his ride to the Dragon. He could be 4WheelsSometimes. I'm pushing Fourscore and Ten myself, and had a hoot last summer.
Great work. I wish it would have been a longer segment.
"@2WO: Old Dogs, New Tricks--maybe your Dad should bring his ride to the Dragon. He could be 4WheelsSometimes."
Too funny Pilote! Dad would take his 1948 Ford 8n tractor. KB could get some bodacious pics..
fourscore10 is 90yrs old, yes?
Still tearin' it up, eh?
Very good to hear, good sir!
I will stop riding when I fall-over at stop signs cuz I can't hold myself up!
2WO: Oops. I can't count in base-ten. I guess that's threescore and ten. SEEMS like a long time...
Came in with the Old Mini. If not Model T territory, at least late, late, late, middle age.
Ancien ENOUGH, I guess...

FLD: Nope, it was flipped...mirrors the image, doesn't rotate it. Here's a shot of them mounting the camera to his bike:
Clicky da Picky
@ Pilote
Heck, 70 years old is the new 35!
Keep the rubber-side down and the thumbs-up!
@2WO: I do what I can. Young as you feel and all that.
Is that 1948 Ford 8N tractor the small grey one with the red powertrain? Remember them fondly-all over the place when I was a kid.
Maybe that's the NEXT BIG THING in Hog tires: forget car rubber, I gotta tractor tire on a 24" rim on mine!
Young is as Young does!
"Is that 1948 Ford 8N tractor the small grey one with the red powertrain? Remember them fondly-all over the place when I was a kid."
Yes it is. My Grandfather bought it new in `48 and Dad has kept her going.
Got my first driving/shifting lesson on that 8n in 1973 when I was eight..
@2WO: Odd you should mention 8-year-old shifting. Visiting my Grand-nephew for Xmas. He's 8, and a car nut. Taking him to the hobby shop to pick out his gift. And will teach him to shift from the passenger seat on my Civic Si. "What, Uncle PA--no paddles?"
Row, row, row your pint pot,
Merrily down the road.
Hit the limiter now and then,
That's the only way she'll go.
It's absolutly a "flipped" or "negative" I cant believe it was only 5 mins. long. I must of watched it 25 times. Nice that they got Les an older gent that can haul but is mature. Sweet azz VFR too. I hate they said tolbert(sp) has "RACED" the road for 7 years.
