It's winter time, some can't ride right now. The best way to get some Motorcycle Therapy is to watch riding videos. So let's post videos of past rides here.

I'll start, Lone Star Rally in Galveston, Texas 2019

Here's one a group of us took on the west side of Houston in 2020.

I like this video of my last ride with the original Viktor Star “The Gnome Rider”(the same gnome that @lesblank has in his video)… need to watch the end to get a glimpse of Vik having fun….
I also like this road a lot, rt 60 in Suches GA to a restaurant called Two wheels only, many many twists and curves. We have many roads in this area that are better than the Tail of the Dragon….just awesome!

Like the seat belt set up you had for Vic. Hopefully you didn't scare the mess out of him, would have been bad for you. Nice video. So help me, I'm going to start sending you my raw footage and let you make a video worth watching.

Thanks @lesblank, I think he did, good thing it was raining….😆

Sorry about the video quality. My front camera is mounted behind my windshield so it gets a little grainy and the windshield vibrates. But, the interesting thing about this video is we had just left a small restaurant along the Salmon River in Idaho when we came across some fisherman. At about 7 secs into the video you'll see a guy standing in the bed of his pickup. He was so proud of his catch he was jumping up and down showing it off.

Should have grabbed hem on way by, would have made a great lunch.

When I wanted some wind therapy in Houston this was my favorite loop. Was about an hour ride and most without traffic.

Took a really nice New Year’s Day ride around Lake Lanier Georgia
Here is the relive and the camera video to follow once I have it ready.

Really nice seeing you out on your bike. Glad you got some wind therapy time. Thanks for posting.

Here's a short one at The Dragon.

Here's a video of a nice ride a few months ago.

 

[bpe]

Some XT action. Mid-town Atlanta. Some historical points of interest. Around time stamp 4:06 I'm rolling through the intersection where Margaret Mitchell (author of Gone with the Wind) was struck and killed by a car. Around time stamp 6:30 I'm going past the Fox Theater, venue where Lynyrd Skynyrd (greatest Southern rock band of all time) recorded their live album One from the Road. At the end of the video I'm pulling into a Krispy Kreme doughnuts. I think it's the first one in Atlanta. Now owned by basketball star Shaquille O'Neal. It had caught fire a couple of years ago and shut down for renovations. After it reopened, it wasn't long before another major fire broke out there. Currently shut down and set for demolition, to be rebuilt from the ground up later.
I fast forwarded the video a few minutes, I know y'all can only take so much bpe footage at a time 😄.

Took a very nice ride thru North GA mountains this morning.
Went up to Cleveland GA to Alt rt 75 to Richard B Russell Scenic Hwy then right on to rt180 to rt75/17 thru Helen GA.
Once I get some time I will post the camera video footage.

Nice ride! How's the temps there?

 

[AlanRides]

Took a nice ride for the last day of 2022 to take advantage of the weather that was pretty close to perfect, started out around 63° and stayed between that and the low 70's most of the day. Last hour or so it crept up to 77°, but then on the final 15 mile leg home it dropped like a rock back into the low 60's. Mostly clear blue skies and very light traffic until around 3 PM. Grabbed a couple of scavenger hunt targets while we were out, but @lesblank posted the Happy New Year target about 45 minutes before I did.

Even the short jaunt I took on I-10 had very few other vehicles, I can't remember ever seeing it this light, especially in the daylight hours:

For the first time in a long time I didn't have a single oncoming distracted driver drift toward me as we approached for the entire trip, mostly on 2 lane blacktop. I did come across this distracted bicyclist who was typing on his phone as he pedaled. Screen grabs don't do his talents justice.

Here's a fairly boring, just under 5 minute video of some of FM-252 in the Piney Woods. Sorry for the winter sun causing it's usual glare issues. And I forgot to mute the sound.....

Really nice looking ride. Of course the app must have malfunctioned when it showed the 106 mph.

I'm going to give you a run for the money on the Scavenger Hunt. I'm also looking forward on who going to get the most court houses and historical markers. We have a great group of riders here to make these destinations and waypoints to be achieved quickly.

Nice ride! How's the temps there?

Yesterday was low 50s so not too bad. When I got into the mountains it was low to mid 40s but still not bad.
About an 1 after I got home it rained and the weather guessers didn’t call for rain neither did google.
So I really lucked out.

Nice you made it home dry. Cool, wet weather socks.

Well @AlanRides I had that covered for you, I had some inconsiderate come down the on ramp, I move over one lane to let the traffic merge and the inconsiderate came across the white line trying to pass the other folks getting on and couldn’t so the inconsiderate decided to try and run me over and off the road. Other than that the ride was fantastic!
