        You're welcome

        I've got hundreds more...nearly 500 in all...not all are good however....but 95% are...no way I could or would post 'em all.The helmet cam has an auto mode that takes a random shot continuosly every 5 secs.Can take a total of 1500 pics on regular batts...1700 on rechargeables...BTW the last 3 pics were taken off the bike with my handheld point and shoot 8 megapixel Kodak.

                Well that is the intention Ofc!I think with the new wide angle lens will make the photos more spectacular.I will show you all what this set up looks like attached to my helmet....

                    My pleasure..it should also be noted that this cam will take 56 mins of video and its not too bad in terms of picture quality...I am still looking at the new wide angle cam for $139 since I already have all the mounts...so that is pretty reasonably priced

                        Hi Brent...there are no bad routes in this area...and the roads are nearly empty most of the time...this area in in the general vicinity of the PA Grand Canyon ...so many roads...so little time

                          Hey MADMAX-IM it looks like you were in my backyard, Any one of those pics could be my home town roads. I'm 20 miles from Pine crk. Rt87 & 287 I'm on them all the time. There are great rides all around Williamsport. Next time you come up, let me know, I could show you a few more. I'm sick of running with the Harleys and Hondas.

                            That last pic looks like Hynerview. I run up it a few times a summer, when the wife feels like it...riding that is.
