Well finally joined!!
Gday all, gday ARidersLife, i was the other GoPro on the Anti Hi-Vis protest ride in melb.
Me - MrFalloffalot.
From - Melbourne (eastern 'burbs) Australia.
Riding history - Apart from stuffing round before i was old enough, on the day that i was 17+9months old, i couldnt wait to line up at VicRoadsCorp. to sit my Bike licence and start riding EVERYWHERE.
That was in 1987, since then WHAT A RUSH!!!!. And still love feeling it.
Allways said if i am too old or paraplegic, im bolting my GPz600r motor to my chair!!!
Job - Started out in life working with my brother at his Mechanic shop, lots of jobs since then. Been self employed for last 25yrs, Property/Commercial Maintenance Services.
Certainly NOT rich, but spent ALL the money on gettin a 'few' bikes in the barn.
Current ride - 1983 z750 'Scrapheap', bought for the '2012 Scrapheap Adventure Ride', cost just under $1000 and did the whole Charity ride (2000klm) and STILL going.
Got few more in the barn, with intentions to have 4 or more on the road as 'Historic/Classic Rego' (25y/old+). Cost is $120 p/yr for 90days use. So 90x4= 360 days use, should be plenty, and for only $480, compared with M/cycle rego which has just gone up over here, to just over $700 PER BIKE!!!
Why i started Vlogging - I started in around 1998/9, but only got a u-tube channel in 2008. Now that i FINALLY got off my arse in 2013, to figure out the password and actually put some Vids up.
If 'Vlogging' is about 'Verbal chat', then alot of my vids only have grunts+moans from falling-off/effort riding, etc.
Never wanted to talk over my vids, cause im the kinda guy, That wont stop!!.
So lots of Rides/Races/Trailbiking/Group rides/4wding and not much talking. I dont have all my vids up on my channel, (im guessing) but i have about 2-3000hrs of footage, which alot of ive never editered, so LOTS of late nights to come.
My Gear - In the 'beginning', i used a JVC Handy-Cam bolted to a peice of board, that was bolted to my gear rack. VERY vibraty, and got alot of crappy whatchable footage this way from 1998 till 2001/2.
After that i bought 'Security' camera's like Lipstick Cams & Matchbox Cams linked to Handycam's & DVR's.
I then got a GoPro Gen1. Fuzzy video, Crackly audio, but its portable.
Soon to update ALL my gear, NOT sure what to get Drift vs Gopro vs Contour etc, as i want a great run like ive had with the GoPro. (NO faults, NO breaks, NO issues, apart from shitty quality).
Ive been editing some of my footage over the years, some trips/rides to DVD. Maybe about 10/12 dvd's. BUT with YouTube's copywrite stuff, i cant just upload coz of all the music on them :evil:
The all important youtube channel link - https://www.youtube.com/user/MrFalloffalot
(Only a few Vids, but im working on it)
Thats about it for now, any questions, Ask.
Looking forward to gettin to know a few of you, even go on some rides, paint an Elephant perhaps.
Cheers.
Sean.
