    Anyone use tank bags?

    I use a Givi ST602 tank bag which locks to the gas tank. They don't make it any more.

    Drone in Follow-Me-Mode

    The drone will hover where it lost track of you. Once the battery level gets too low it will "Return To Home" (RTH) returing to the last home point. Normally this is where it took off from.

    Sharing rides and YouTube challenges

    I like the video editing and the way your wife added the maps. I think the 360 camera may have some visual aspects my GoPro's do not.

    Video Camera recommendations

    Does anyone have a recommendation for a Go Pro or other camera to mount on my FJR? I currently have a Review XP C300 Action Camera. It works well, and was inexpensive, but I am not happy with the image stabilizer. I do not want to mount the camera on my helmet, and prefer to mount it on the nose...

    Dropped it

    Yeah, pulled in to a parking lot last summer, and a car was pulling in heading towards me. I hit the brake and lost my balance. Very embarrassing to drop it in front of someone. Not the first, and probably will not be the last. I'm glad I put Canyon Cages on my bike.
