In this one you can still see the headlight lens...and the atv's are still clean




in this one (a little wile later) headlight lens is gone and I do not know where I lost it lol ........and the atv's are a little dirty

I wasn't paying attention when i mounted the cam and well....if you sit in your chair and put your left elbow on the armrest then put your left ear in the palm of your left hand and tilt your head to the left it looks fine.

tomorrow I am mounting it on the back of the atv to see how that angle works



hmmm I guess photobucket only allows 10 min vids because the rest end of the vid is missing.

It looks like you had a muddy, good time, MidLife! I positioned myself as you suggested for the second video, and it worked! Thanks for posting the nice ride report. What video camera are you using?

Awesome! Glad you didn't get rained out.

My neck got sore from that position, so I perched the laptop on the fishbowl. Can you mount the cam on the bars? The new mic seems to work well.

Miss K seemed like she was having a good time. She rides like Mrs. Weldangrind; driving Miss Daisy.

ya i forgot to center the cam lol i had it on the handlebars once but didn't like the video it took....on the helmet seems to work better ...going to try it on the back of the atv today as well as on the helmet again (properly)

Fun pics! I laughed out loud Linda asked what was so funny so I showed her. Good ride.

Hope finding a replacement lens is easy.

There's nothing wrong if you own a Zong, MidLife!

Sounds like you're enjoying it. I guess that new carb was worth it.
