Atlas Rider – 8 Month Motorcycle Trip – I thought that I would tell you all about a great trip one of my fellow motorcycle vloggers is doing starting this Monday. Atlas Rider (of Atlasrider.com) will be starting an 8 month trip from Chicago to the Southern tip of Argentina (and possibly back up to Brazil). This should be an epic trip as he plans to document the journey through video and writing on his site. If you’d like to know more I seriously recommend you checking his site out as one of my personal dream adventures would be to ride the length of the Pan Americas highway from Alaska to Argentina.
Good luck on your trip buddy and I look forward to watching all of your posts and updates!

It’s been a while my friends so I guess I should post an update for those who are bothered. I’ve just got back off of a long vacation in Mallorca which was great – although the lack of a motorcycle and the internet are at times a strain. I’ll post a full feature on this in a later entry as I have uploaded all of the photos to my Facebook account and from there on in it gets complicated.
My life is getting pretty complex now, this is mainly centred on my move. I am not satisfied with the property that I would be moving into but it is only a couple of months now before I need to be gone from here. I’ve found a property which I REALLY like but it’s a little out of my price range I think. It has all the benefits and the only positive is that I would be VERY stretched for money. That is unless somebody wanted to sleep with me in the apartment in the same bed and split the costs. I’ll be taking applications later in the week (seriously, shoot me an email if you’re in the Scarborough area). The benefit of being in a relationship…
I have continued this paragraph on the day after I wrote the previous one and it illustrates my point precisely – that my situation changes so dramatically from day to day that it is hard to keep up with myself, never mind write about it on here. I’ll post about this topic when I am certain from now on.
As the famous words that gracefully fell out of Master Yoda’s mouth were once spoken – clouded his fate is…
Here is a nice screen shot of my bike that I took with the video footage from the Go Pro:
Go Pro HD – Dawn Time Lapse – I decided that seeing as the weather of late has been awful and i have captured nothing good on my rides i would make a time lapse and test out some of the Go Pro HD’s other less noticeable features. At 4AM i went to bed and turned the Go Pro on, setting it to take a picture every 10 seconds. It took 1380 pictures over the course of nearly 4 hours and captured what i was looking for pretty well for a first attempt. Here is the finished video:
I did promise it so i thought that i’d finally get my ass in gear to create the worst video known to man kind. It is a collection of short clips and images from my recent trip to Portugal. It serves better as a test for the Enova HD camera that i purchased last July. I bought it for about £50 ($70) and i think it is pretty good for what it is!
I’ve not posted a written article for a while so I thought I’d go ahead and update you all about what’s happening. I’ve basically been riding around with the Go Pro rolling all the time but to be honest all of my rides have been pretty mundane as of late. Hopefully I’ll be going for a blast tomorrow so if that works out then I should get some nice footage. I have snippets here and there of good stuff which I’ll eventually make into a compilation after a while as well.
I did get some new gloves the other day and I’ve done a photo shoot haha. Pretty amateurish as I did it myself but nevertheless. Here are some of the images:
The gloves look and feel amazing, I typically like the shit kicker look haha. Besides this my life has been pretty slow paced as of recent, I’ve ordered a 1TB hard rive just this minute and my 32GB SD Card should arrive tomorrow. Apart from this I’m going to a wheelie competition this Saturday and I have a chance at winning a GSXR 750 or a scorpion exhaust for my bike (something high up on my list). See you guys next time and remember to subscribe to me on YouTube.
