I guess it's finally time to crawl out of my cage and show my face...
It is hard to be extraordinary, interesting or different in today's day and age, and I always thought that motovlogging is exactly about being individual - after all each one of us is showing the others their story.
Motovlogging for me is the group ride experience without the group. It's a way to interact with other riders on so many different levels. It's majestic. It forever multiplies our inherited need and desire to share stories from the road, our epic adventures or even day to day occurrences which either annoy us or amaze us in their sheer stupidity.
Motovlogging gives us an ability to strengthen our community.
The motorbiker's nod is the perfect example of how bikers feel the comradery from the get-go.
I've never felt more part of anything in my life until that first nod I got from the other biker.
I felt proud to be part of something much bigger than me.
That was it. . . there was no going back from that feeling anymore. . .
How exactly does one enter the world of Motovlogging 'with a bang'?
I'm sorry I am making you read through yet another generic 'hello my name is John Smith' thread.
I really wish that I could come up with something more interesting. Something to make you laugh, engage and straight away be interested to read the next thing from me.
Things like that do not come easy, though, and I guess this is not any different.
My name is Przemek (I hope the mix of z's and r's and other various consonants doesn't confuse you too much! The name's polish and hard to pronounce for non natives; blame my parents). My blogger name/nickname/title whatever, brand, logo or anything that gives me an online identity doesn't exist yet, as I'm not yet cool enough to make up anything I like the sound of.
I currently ride a '97 Suzuki GSF600s Bandit - and I really don't like it, but respect it a whole lot.
I dream of a V-Twin rumble, stylish shades and minimalistic gear - riding out into the sunset. I dream of a machine which I am proud to own.
Current financial situation doesn't allow me to change the bike just yet, but I'm using this as a very important time in my life - learning to ride correctly. The sound of a scraping peg is like a unicorn licking my eardrums, and as time goes on, I get visited by the amazing ear licking unicorn more and more.
Why I started motovlogging?
This is the thing - I am yet to start. I know where to start, I know how to start, I just don't want to start for the sake of starting or settle for mediocrity(that is for my own, imagined, made-up standards).
I'm here for research, tips, bouncing ideas and keeping close with like minded people.
The setup is a GoPro Hero 3+ Black on the chin bar of my modular (flip front) helmet.
Sound wise I'm waiting for a Sena S20 to arrive through the post (should be next week) and then a bluetooth backpack for the GoPro.
In the meantime I will probably drill through one of my casings and run a lapel mic into the helmet.
I will be editing videos with Vegas, as my laptop doesn't like Adobe.
Still need to do loads'a testing to really pinpoint the exact quality of video that I want to get.
You will be seeing posts from me recording my progress and where I am going with this.
If you have lasted long enough to the end of this ridiculous wall of text (sorry, not sorry)
As a reward, here's a picture of my bike:
(not yet, be patient, I still need to get my first 20 in...)
The idea in my case, on this forum, is to use this as a platform for developing myself from zero to motovlogging hero.
I'm starting with nothing - no experience, no plan - zilch, zero.
Let's see how it goes, eh?
Oh... and hello, by the way.
