This is my Brand New 2014 Honda CTX 1300
Hey All, I will be going to the 4th Annual Military Heroes Benefit Ride this Saturday. There is more information on the organization at: http://www.militaryfamilies1st.org/ .

It will be at the Wallis and Witcher VFW Post 3031 in Rogers, Arkansas. The registration time is 9am Central with Kick stands up at 9:30am and last bike in at 12:30pm Central. It will end at the Eureka Springs Chamber of Commerce. I plan on having a better camera setup with my Sena GoPro Backpack that should come in today, and maybe have it by tomorrow hopefully, and I will start vlogging again when I get it, so I can reduce that wind noise that has been on my last few videos. I will take a video of the ride on that day, so you all can see it on my channel. I will probably upload it that same day if youtube can ever process it faster than it has for me lately. LOL
 
The army round here had a stunt team show on today was pretty cool

The Chinese National Aerobatic Troupe did something similar in 2004. Here's a scan from their program - better than any picture I could take in that dark light :p :.....

Bah, who needs soldiers when you have something around 12 women on a bike ;) ???

(no offense to servicemen, of course :) ...)
 
LOL, Wow, this is the video I got on my channel now of the ride at:
I am going to make a copy of it, and also post it on my channel when I get it done thru the Adobe Premiere trail version to try and edit out the wind noise.
Some of those bikers thought I was the lead bike, when the real leader got lost more than once with a GPS that I think he did not update the night before. LOL. Not only that, the ride had started out with about 10-12 bikes as u will see, then it went to 5, then 4, then one of the guys on his Harley, got a flat tire, was able to keep it on 2 wheels and upright, but ran off into a ditch, about a few miles away from the final destination point. Then there was only 3 in the group, and then one went on way ahead, and it was only 2. Then one of the leaders of the group, wanted to tell me what I was doing wrong with going around corners with some hesitation, and to learn how to lean into the corner, (I guess he did not understand that I am still getting used to the bike at this point.), and yet, when it came to a sign pointing to Eureka Springs, he was confused, when the sign clearly pointed to where Eureka Springs was, and how far. I ended up following the signs, and made it to the intersection, where the event was happening, and then went just beyond it, because that same guy thought that was not the place, with a big fire engine hook and ladder, with an American flag hanging down, then asked me if it was, and I told him I think it is. I wished I had gotten all of this ride, but my camera was full of videos by this time. Then on the way back, I thought I was part of a group until they all left me alone going by themselves, so I followed a publisher of a Riding magazine to Hwy 412, then got caught in a rainstorm with all my waterproof gear on, and finally made it home. What a day huh?? LOL
 
Nice video :) ! That wind noise does sound like it could be the modular (stereo earphones). Also, are you using an image stabilizer in your software??? Kind'a looks like it - those wreak havoc when it comes to shadows ~_~ .....

Otherwise, it looks like it was a pretty much a cool time... except for the rain :) .....

Thanks, well the speakers are the speakers that came with the Sena SMH10 Communication Device, so I am not sure if there other speakers in the helmet, aside from those speakers, but I think those are the only speakers in the helmet.
I am using Youtube's image stabilzer right now.
Yeah,it was a pretty cool time, aside from the leader getting lost more than once, one of the riders telling me how I need to ride, when it was clearly obvious that the same person could not trust the GPS, and thinking there is always a different, more scenic route into Eureka Springs, and the other things that happened along the way. LOL. :) I guess I should have bought along my Tom Tom, huh?? LOL :) There was not a whole lot of military style organizational thought put into route planning though, that I could see. LOL!! Yep, the rain was one of the many interesting parts of the ride home, aside from one guy having a flat tire on his Harley, and that his wife had to come from Bella Vista, which is about an hour away from where he broke down, and yet was still able to keep it on 2 wheels. Aside from that, the group constantly leaving me behind when traveling in a group, instead of sticking together. Yet, now that I look back at this ride, I guess I am glad I did not get a Harley, but wished I would have bought my Tom Tom along for the ride. LOL :)

Sorry, I meant I was listening to your video with stereo headphones... it sounded like the wind noise was coming from the side towards the front every time you turned your head. Sorry for the confusion, if I was reading what you typed right :p .....

CBR, anything to be top poster of the month, huh :p ~_~ ???

No worries, thanks for letting me know. That helps a lot. I do have a chin skirt that came with the helmet. I put it on today, and I will see if that helps somewhat, since the boom microphone is inside the cheek pad, and near the speakers. I wonder if I should have done that in the first place. If the weather can hold up today, I may do another vlog today with the chin skirt on to see if that reduces the wind noise.

LOL CBR :)
