Awesome video Paul. Felt like I was actually there in the helicopter. Those girls smiling and winking at me kind of made me blush :blush:

Made my first video test yesterday.
Now, I just need to learn to edit and add music and I'll have something to show you.
I didn't buy a GoPro camera ($300) I bought a phone mount ($20) and it works great.

Shot some amazing video on my phone, but it won't allow me to transfer to mail or to a compression app or to YouTube. It says my phone doesn't have enough memory. So I'm looking for a mount for my Kindle now.

On the up-side I am re-gearing the bike for quicker start and slower top end. 40mph is fast enough...I'd just like to get there more quickly.

When I was paralyzed 6 years ago...for my balance recovery my friend Jeff let me do history tours on the "GANSETT". How sweet is this for "going to work"?

My friend, Wade, runs the parasailing boat.
I told him about you folks and flying....his idea...."fly me AND the bike"!
When the right day arrives......hmmmm.....YES!
Will do videos and stills.

Really looking forward to it.

And now it's mine! (NOT this particular one...but like it.) Cost more than I expected (and I can bargain!)
Took it to the airport and this beautiful machine got up to 110 mph. Now, it's back to being being a show piece and casual riding.

My everyday ride has been tuned (re-geared & racing carb) now for quicker starts and lower top-end. 0-40 4.5 seconds. But, I'm too darn old to do wheelies!

Will post some pics soon, if you'd like.

Love that bike Paul! I also really enjoyed the Laguna Seca run...even just the sound the ebike in it made. Inspires me to make one of my own...black and more sinister looking of course :whistle:
