Well it does seem to polarise people. Some will spend endless hours watching them and others spend their time watching paint dry or grass grow. My doctor recommended them as an alternative to sleeping pills, but then again she doesn't ride a motorcycle.
Now I'm no Steven Spielberg or J. J. Abrams. In fact I have very limited video skills other than being able to pull the video off the camera and into iMovie to cut it up and possibly add some music in the background. Truth be told my wife has done most of that side anyway. I'm more of the silent type in the background.
Anyway, back in 2014 Ros and I spent 5 weeks in the US and Canada (coming from Australia) and rode our hearts out. We captured most of it in still photos and words on a blogg site, but occasionally we took some video footage from a camera mounted either on my helmet or hers. Then picture the two of us perched on a motel bed each evening with laptop and editing software trying to patch together a short snip of the adventures from the day, and then trying to upload it to the web via the less than "high speed complimentary internet".
Back to the point of all this - it is now 2016, we are soon to depart on our next adventure (in May), and I finally got my act together, put all of the videos in one place, and hopefully ironed out the copyright and viewing rights restrictions.
So for those of you who don't have trouble sleeping, please move on to the next post on this forum. But for those of you, like me, who enjoy spending a couple of minutes watching others ride their bikes on roads and through landscapes I would one day like to or indeed have already travelled - here are our videos from the adventure we called Endless Roads - https://plus.google.com/u/0/collection/8qIbRB
This is a link to my Google+ page, but you can also find these videos through YouTube directly on the Endless Roads 2014 Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL39Jl5AVpjLHvuc6xO3Wh9chWqjxGEUlY
Any comments are welcome and if there are still issues with viewing these internationally, please let me know.
If there is interest and indeed there are people out there, like us, who enjoy watching motorcycling videos, we will be taking more on our next adventure which we have so imaginatively called Endless Roads 2016.
And finally, for those who are of my vintage, perhaps you may want to cast your mind back and take a guess at where the soundtrack in the Lombard Street video is from. No prizes but let's see who guesses first.
