Guy amazing makes it across 16 lanes but with a bad ending.

Priceless. Genghis6199

Quick look at the bike with clip-ons replacing the raised handlebars - then a zap around some bumpy lanes to see how she feels. A bit more mud & farm debris on the roads than was hoped for and a   more...few straight stretches of road that have been edited out where the speedo seems to have been malfunctioning quite badly. Results:- very comfortable rider position, overall control feels much improved, top-heavy feel totally gone. Downside:- mirrors required readjustment. Caution; rider experience may vary.  less

Watch and see what happens in the carpool lanes etc.. ! Yes it's very Legal in CA to split lanes, we do bend the rules a bit, but I've been doing this since 1984 in CA, I grew up in AZ so it's not legal   more...there, but when it's 110 out ya do it regardless or you will get burnt by your motor heat or the heat in your face from the wind!  less

Each year five-per-cent of Hollywood A-listers cross the Atlantic to make London their home. If this fame-drain continues – in twenty years – there’ll be no stars left in LA.(WKO News)

Taking a ride down some country lanes near to where I live. I talk about company benefits and how unions are not prepared to fight for workers any more.

Preamble: I absolutely HATED history as a kid, BUT, bein’ fairly observant for a kid, I realized that most older adults LOVED the topic, so I figured that one day, when I got MUCH older, I’d begin to   more...enjoy history too . . . . . those days have apparently arrived! LOL

Brighton (earlier known as “Brighthelmstone”) began as a Saxon village when the Saxons conquered Sussex in the 5th century AD.

In 1313 Brighton gained a charter. This was a document granting the merchants the right to form their own local government and certain other privileges. A fish market was held daily on the beach. There was also a weekly pig market and corn market, as well as a general market where all kinds of goods were sold.

The earliest map of Brighton shows a little town about one quarter of a mile square. There were 4 streets, North Street, West Street, East Street and South Street (kinda makes SENSE huh? LOL). In the middle of the 4 streets were many small land holdings. “The Lanes”, highlighted in this video, started as pathways between them all. There were also fishermen's huts along the shore.

The unneighborly French burned down Brighton in June 1514. This was easily done as nearly all the buildings were of wood, with thatched roofs, and the buildings were all packed tightly together (as they are to this day).

In 1545 the French returned, but warning beacons were lit, and brave Englishmen from all the surrounding countryside rushed to the town to defend it, and the French, after sustaining large amounts of casualties, were driven back into the sea.

By 1580 there were about 400 fishermen living in Brighton; the overall population was around 2,500. By the standards of the time, Brighton was a fair sized market town.

Brighton's popularity and size grew, when, in 1750, Dr Richard Russell, a resident of Lewes, wrote a book in which he claimed that bathing in sea water was very good for your health. Rich people began to come to seaside Brighton hoping to be cured of their various illnesses. At first the travelers were a trickle, but later became a flood. In 1783 the Prince of Wales and his friends visited Brighton which ensured its popularity.

In 1841 a railway to London opened which made it much easier for visitors to reach Brighton. By 1848 it was estimated that 250,000 people visited Brighton each year. West Pier was built in 1866. Palace Pier was built in 1899.

When World War II began in 1939 many schoolchildren from London were evacuated to Brighton to escape the bombing. Since Brighton was, of course, a seaside resort rather than a manufacturing town it was anticipated it would escape bombing. Yet Brighton was not as safe as people thought it would be, and the town suffered considerable damage as a result of bombing. There were 56 raids in all, and over 5,000 houses were damaged or destroyed.

Today about 8 million tourists a year descend on the town (no warning beacons are lit for this type of invader however LOL), and “The Lanes” today, are a wonderful mix of shops selling all manner of things from antiques to jewelry to memorabilia, and there are cafes and pubs in the area too, and you REALLY get an idea of how jammed together the old buildings were “way back when”, and how convoluted the maze of pathways between them were in the days before city planning.

Still in Idaho riding next to some white water rapids. A UHaul almost pulls out in front of me. Later on I found out that I should have turned onto the road that the UHaul truck was pulling out from.   more... He distracted me though and I ended up going 20 miles out of my way before I realize. I love cagers...  less

Freeway Splitting Lanes

Taking you on a ride back to where I live. Some nice variations including some fast stretches and some single track lanes. Oh look out for the lovely donkeys at the end.

I've remastered this for various   more...reasons and added some funky effects to parts. Hopefully this solves some problems I had earlier.  less

Just to mix things up a bit, I'm uploading another "off the bike" vlog. I take in some of the beautiful countryside of the surrounding area where I grew up. All this went completely unappreciated   more...as a kid, it was just the norm for me and my friends. It wasn't until I left home that I realised what I actually had on my doorstep.  less

Two of Four. Army of Eight. I might make this video private... the music, the riding... not recommended.

Cruise in Ventura. Part 4 of 4.

This was another unexpected video. I was challenged to use this song.

Watch from at least 4 Feet Away! The movement might make you dizzy.

Part 5 of 4? This one was unexpected. Was showing my girl reverse speed, and this was the result.
