Why there are times when you should switch that annoying, bloody Mobile Phone off.... ....!

...and as for Toilet Paper!....

Just popped down to the Royal of Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire today, armed with a 1-1/2" hole saw, to one of my lovely Lad's place/workshop, for him to drill out both of the baffles on my silencers (mufflers*) to make it sound a little bit like a Harley Flathead at a slow tick over, together with usual V-twin shake experience....

...in my dreams... ...!

At least the increase in noise volume warns other nearby motorists that I am around now!.... ....!

Latest trip around the Highways and Byways of rural Herefordshire on a sunny Thursday 1st of September 2016...>>>

A nice little hour-long ride along familiar County roads.

Typical English Weather, Dave... ...!

You never know from one day to the next, whether the weather is gong to be; "Poo" or "Nice"......
In England, its mostly biking "Poo" for most of the year.... ...!

That's when I watch SOCAL, Arizona, New Mexico, etc, Motorbiking on You-Tube... ....!

I don't find much fun, 'biking in Poo weather!

I get wet, and cold, and unhappy... ...!

Slight change in the weather!

Today was quite warm; 23*C (74*F), so I donned my Levi waistcoat over my short-sleeved tee-shirt for a change, instead of my usual leather jacket, and it was a real joy to go for a ride, free from all the usual motorcycle clothing clutter!
Obviously, crash helmets are compulsory, and I always wear my gloves, but I must admit, I chickened-out when it came to wearing my Bermuda Shorts and Sandals....
...that only works in the heat of Southern California (Santa Monica)... ...!

I video recorded my hour-long journey around the countryside, together with text narration, accompanied by the new sound of my exhaust pipes, devoid of their silencer (muffler) internals, in a vain attempt to make my Honda Rebel twin sound like a 1938 Harley Davidson Knucklehead vee-twin!!
....(in my dreams).... ....!

Tomorrow I will upload the video to You-Tube for viewing, this time, in H. D. 1,080 resolution, (and Dolby 3D surround sound?.... ....), so it will take a few hours to upload and process on my slow Internet speed!

Watch this space tomorrow!

Paul.... ....!

[Fozzer]

...and tomorrow comes...>>>

Yesterday I finally gave up trying to upload my latest one-hour countryside trip to You-Tube at a resolution of 1,080 in High Density (HD).

I calculated it would take nearly 3 days to upload the full video at my copper-wire upload speed!.... ....!

Cancelled the upload at 25%....life is far too short!.... ...!

Re-uploading it again today at a resolution of 1,080.....and NO HD!

Its processing slightly faster now.

See how it goes..... My previous videos have been recorded at 720 resolution 30FPS.
They process reasonably fast.... ..... but the scenery is not as clear as it is at 1,080 resolution!

Looks like "High Density" uploading and processing on You-Tube is a definite NO-NO!.... .... ....!

(I may try a short, 5-10 minute video in 1,080 HD sometime, just to see the difference).... ..!

Paul....uploading....again.... ....!

[Fozzer]

And here it is, finally...>>>

http://www.youtube.com/edit?video_id=xhjM-XzOrQ0

It was recorded on my SJ Cam 4000 camera at 1080P, but You-Tube appear to have lowered the resolution automatically to 420P during their processing, which always makes the foliage look blurred at a distance... ....!

...but, at least, it uploads quicker.

My original Video, before uploading to You-Tube, and recorded at 1080P, 30FPS, is much smoother and clearer!

More experimenting with the various options required... ...!

Anyhow....

...enjoy my shirt-sleeved Tour!.... ....!

Paul.... ...!

You are right!
Its the Watch...rather than the Edit!

Ta for the heads-up, Dave!...I corrected it on other Sites!

Thanks Paul our narrow country roads and horrible mini roundabouts.

Thanks Paul our narrow country roads and horrible mini roundabouts.

You will also notice the terrible state of our English Road surfaces...drains, pot-holes, trenches, etc...

My Honda, (and me), being so light, the bike, (and me), bounces around all over the place!

I stabilise the videos in the editing process, but even that cant cope with all the road bumps!

The big, heavy, Harley Davidson Road Glide cruisers hug the road smoothly, with the front and rear suspension taking up all the bumps!

Also annoying, are the hedges on either side, which restrict views of the English countryside, unlike the roads in the USA which don't have hedges!!

The removal of the exhaust baffles has made the sound more noticeable, and safer for me!

Its just a shame about the transmission whine, (crankshaft gear to clutch gear), which is probably wear caused by insufficient oil changes by its many previous owners.
It is expensive to cure, requiring a complete clutch basket and its large gear!

I just poke my ear plugs in!

Paul....more stuff to come....

Paul, no wonder they stopped filming The Avengers!! First, Dame Emma Peel vanished. Then with this traffic, every episode would last 6 hours!!

Paul, no wonder they stopped filming The Avengers!! First, Dame Emma Peel vanished. Then with this traffic, every episode would last 6 hours!!

At least I don't live in down-town New York, or Miami, or on the I-5 in LA!... ....!

I travel 2 minutes from my house, in my town, and I find myself in open countryside!

The most painful traffic time is when the school children come out of school at 3:30PM, and their parents come to pick them up, as they appear in my video.... ....

...fast-forward it a bit, if its troublesome!... ...!

I must avoid going for a video bike ride at 3:30PM.... ...!

Once in the open countryside the traffic is very sparse!.... ....!

Try some other of my videos for variations in traffic... ....>>>
