Want to Ride? 206,000 prior miles & 77,000 miles on this Wing and counting...

Jkgraphics is a personal website devoted to my adventures.  My current motorcycle is a 2006 GL1800 Gold Wing.  I've used RAM Mounts to attach a Canon 1100 IS digital camera above the right handle bar to shoot pictures and video while in motion.  The movie files are best viewed full screen, as they were taken in high resolution.  Since many have had questions on the videos, here's a photo:

The camera, a Canon 1100 IS, has image stabilization.  It is secured by a RAM Mount system which consists of a base, an arm, and the camera base.  RAM Mounts are available from Cycle Gadgets.   I chose the HB-2 base and the long arm to elevate the camera in the middle portion of the windshield.   Using the cruise control, it is possible to shoot pictures and videos while riding, but you'd better have good riding skills and be aware of your road position.  If there is any doubt in your mind, do not attempt to take pictures/video while moving.  Here is the Pacific Coast video.

2010 Winter Tour:  Roswell, Heart Attack Grill, Las Vegas & more!

Retired (or Tuesdays off) and living near Myerstown, PA?  Ride with the Guardian Angels and find new roads and places to eat!

Welcome to Lebanon, PA where we drop a Lebanon Bologna for New Years.  If you have a high speed connection,  here is the 2005 drop!   Are you from or have you become a Pennsylvanian?  Take the test!   We also celebrate Groundhog Day (Grundsaudaag in PA German) in Myerstown, which is just east of Lebanon.  Groundhog Uni rides the Union Canal, then makes his prognostication.  Spring is close when the snow geese return to the Middle Creek preserve.  When spring arrives, you can balance an egg.

2010 Agenda:  I'm touring the southwest - link above in red box.  On Feb 12 - 14, the Death Valley Tour runs out of Beatty, NV.  The Biker Breakfast on Sunday in Lawn, PA goes from May through September.  This year marks the second annual Smoky Mountain Ride In which has been expanded for 2011 into a one week event.

This is definitely over the top:  Knight Rider accessory for the GL1800!

I have a situation where our garage could not be a 3 car garage.  So, I had a '2 1/2' width and had a custom 4 foot wide garage door installed for my Wing.

WOW!  I won a prize for the 2007 Post Office Day in Annville!
