Where did you mount your camera to alleviate wind noise? Enjoyed your video.

[@RobertMerz]

I have the camera mounted on the left mirror stalk, but that is not how I eliminated wind noise. Wind noise, as well as engine valve train, and air intake is the sound we record at the front of the bike, there is no getting around that for a forward facing camera. The sweet exhaust sound we want to hear is at the back of the bike. To capture the exhaust sound I put a camera in a cloth bag and strapped it to the rear seat and captured the audio. I then mix the video from the front camera in with the audio from the back camera in post. It is a lot of extra work but the result is much nicer. Glad to hear that you enjoyed the vid!

@@RobertMerz thanks for the detailed reply. The exhaust “music” is great. Really enjoy your work.

We have stayed in Brookings 2 times for 2 weeks in beach house rental. WOW I have ridden the 101 several times and never got tired of it. I love the Pacific Coast. I have watched this video a few times and it still thrills me. Thank you.

Hey Jim. Nice to hear from you again. Yes there is always something about the coast that attracts.

Well done-very clear, and edited nicely. I live and ride on the central coast of Oregon and I have yet to take any video...Again, great job!

[@RobertMerz]

Thank you very much, I really appreciate the comment, and your watching my vid! You live in a really pretty area, with lots of diverse geography within a few hours, a great area to ride in, and a nice place to do vids!

I'm going to be making this drive in three days when I go on my yearly roadtrip.

[@megadosevitaminc8774]

nice. this is where I live. fun places to ride

[@RobertMerz]

You do indeed have some fun places to ride. I have always wanted to ride the coast with the purpose of catching all the east west secondary highways that connect with the coast, some great rides that most of the destination riders totally overlook.

@@RobertMerz I just uploaded a video riding through the drive thru redwood tree yesterday. that was interesting.
