How I Used A Total Solar Eclipse To Fix My Bike

Living in the path of totality during a solar eclipse allowed me to take advantage of the daytime darkness to aim the headlight on my vintage 1979 Suzuki GS 750 . This rare event was a great opportunity to experience and capture in a unique way . The next time a total solar eclipse will occur again at this same location , it will be the year 2399 .

Great video! The sunset appearance N,S,E and W was wild. It didn’t get near that dark here. Awesome you captured it! Cheers man.

Thank you very much , yes the sunset in all directions was so bizzare to me I had no idea that was a normal situation in a total eclipse ...also stuggled to find a different approach to shoot the eclipse that was'nt run of the mill and somehow related to bikes . It was a neat challenge to try .As always I truly appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment .Cheers ,to you good sir 🍻

That was cool that you got a peak at the ring of fire through the clouds. No such luck here, but the darkness was pretty cool, same with the orange horizons. Yet, in the middle of all that, you might have been the only person on earth who successfully aimed a motorcycle headlight 😁👍👍

Ha ha .. thanks Wayne,, ya man it was quite an interesting experience for sure . You were lucky enough to be in the path of totality too so you know what it was like .And you snagged some very cool drone footage that was really amazing .Not sure if I was the only guy to try the headlight aiming thing but who knows ,,,,Maybe ,anyway it was fun to do .Thanks again buddy cheers 🍺

[@TRyanLearnBikes]

Hey Court thanks very much I really appreciate the great comment And I'm genuinely glad you really liked it, LTLLWML

That would of been so cool to be in and see man nicely captured. And not many headlights would get aligned in day time and out side so you might of made it into the record books on that one. Cool as.

[@TRyanLearnBikes]

Thanks R.K. not sure about any record book qualification but it sure was an odd moment to experience and I figured it might be a unique opportunity to tie in a bike video too ,so thats what I ended up with . Thanks again R.K. also very cool how you shot the reflection video you posted yesterday ....That was excellent

[@KasperOriginal]

G'day from WA. What a brilliant idea! Sorry, pun intended. The multiple sunsets was fascinating! What an amazing experience. I missed a chance to see a total eclipse in Exmouth, North of WA, but I hope to be in the Pilbara for our next in July 2028 it's too good a chance to check my headlight setting to miss!

[@TRyanLearnBikes]

@stevezodiac575 @stevezodiac575 Hey Steve, ha ha ..well crafted very enlightening..pun also intended. Yes the total eclipse was definitely an interesting experience for sure. I had to look up where Exmouth WA was .Did I get it right ? Are you on the west side of Australia ? I hope you have a clear day when the eclipse makes it over to you .And most certainly aim your headlight if you get a chance it's such a unique opportunity .Thanks for watching and for taking the time to leave such a great comment. Cheers 🍻

That was a cool video. We only got a partial down in Florida. That was awesome what you guys got

[@TRyanLearnBikes]

Thanks very much..yes it was a pretty weird thing to experience thats for sure..it happened fairly fast too which made it even stranger.

[@Supermankev2001]

Cool Video I hope you don't have to aim the headlight again. You may have to wait a long time for the next eclipse.

[@TRyanLearnBikes]

Thanks Kev ..ya man I hope I got it right on this try I can't wait another 375 years ..Cheers buddy 🍻

[@KrakensGarageandAdventures]

Five seconds of the eclipse. Five minutes of his face. 👎
