Taking a short ride out to fitchburg, I talk about my crash I had on friday night. No footage of the crash unfortunately, just me talking about it.

Finishing up the ride and some parking lot practice. Pam demonstrates her awesome no-speed bike navigating skills.

Continuing on with Pam's ride. Sound goes out for the last like 30 seconds because Pam is a freak.

Speaking of freaks, I get really odd in this video and talk a lot about coffee. I'm not sure if Coffee   more...would approve.. That Ninja 250 must be putting out some good exhaust!  less

Riding behind Veda on her first longer trip on her new ninja 250. I start ranting about helmetcam companies a little way in.

First vlog from the new bike and it's pretty early. I say a lot of dumb stuff because its early and my brain isn't on.

Short video of the bike sitting in the carport. Asking for exhaust suggestions and commenting on the crappy weather.

Talking about some of the logistics involved in riding your motorcycle around the world. The first being a carnet for your bike. Having some mechanical knowledge helps when you bike break down. I discuss   more...a rough plan and time table for my trip and the problems involved with documenting the journey through video online.  less

I start off talking about some ideas I have for new camera angles in future videos and then respond to 88hawaii's video about finances being the biggest obstacle for traveling around the world by motorcycle.   more... This is part 1 of a 2 video response.  less

Talking briefly about how my Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx performed on the road and what I like and dislike.

Kawasaki Ninja 650r 40 to 100 in 5th gear

Riding around the parking lot of the Phoenix Motorcycle Show where there are hundreds of bikes. One of them has propellers in the exhaust, which I thought was pretty cool. I'm hoping to find some new   more...gloves with all the vendors in town.  less

Video of how the Crystal Blue model # M13 tank protector for the 650r looks like.

Breaking in WilsonRydeR's Kawasaki Ninja EX650R...
Always chage oil within the 1st 50 miles.

some guy on a ZX-14R about 15 feet away...

So there we were, riding along and up pops a set of stairs on a trailer... Last of the Vermont videos.

Finishing up Rt 17 and heading to Rt 100 in Vermont. Talking about riding, skill level and the fact that I am turn signal retarded.

More of rt 17 in VT. I put this one on fast forward and there's almost not talking, but its fun! Some more normal music for this one.

More vacation footage. This is more of route 17 in vermont. This iz a muzak video primarily with more of my goofy music taste (Cibo Matto for those who care). If you don't want to watch riding + music..don't   more...watch this one. :)  less

Riding through Vermont through some towns towards Rt 17. I talk about how the trip got planned, where we were going, places we've been, etc. Wind noise is intermittent..sorry about that.

More political ranting - I pick up where the last video left off. Then I talk about the LAPD incident some more, police officers in general and attempting to understand people.

Links to photos of the   more...other accident I was talking about: http://www.erratic.ws/michele/car/  less

More going off about politics and how it affects people whether they care or not.

We start off with the tail end of some parking lot practice where a very uninterested Veda drums on her bike then does what I ask. We take off for our ride about 5 minutes in. I talk about apathy and   more...politics a lot. If you're offended by opinionated people go whine at someone else.  less

Recording my trip home. I just put a laminar lip on my bike to redirect the wind and unfortunately it really kicks my audio in the ass. Once I get on the highway I kill the audio and speed up the video   more...with some music  less

I talk about a Paul Revere sighting, babble randomly, then a gaggle of Harley's come up and kill my audio with their straight pipes. You can't hear it in the video, but one of the first things one of   more...the guy yells is that his brakes aren't working well - so we get out of their way and let that mess pass.

The audio is toast through some of the video because of their crazy pipes, but it comes back when we slow down. You can hear them for a long ass time even after they're gone from the view.  less
