Most of my pictures were taken while riding since I didnt have much time to stop. A lot of the times I continuously shot photos if I saw something cool because I knew some of the pictures would end up crooked. I just chose the best one and most of them turned out pretty well.

Congrats on your amazing trip. Great pics and video, really enjoy reading it. If I ever have a chance to meet you I would buy you a beer.

So, what happened in Arizona, stay in Arizona?

I started using my camera upside down so that I could take the shot with my thumb of my clutch hand. The camera bag is attached to my left handlebar, and I use a neckstrap to secure it so if it drops, I won't have to go back to pick up the pieces.

You did take some great shots.

Will post in my post-mortem when I get a chance to figure everything out.

The county cops came and I told them not to write an accident report because Ontario screws you over with hit and runs so he just recorded it as a citizen assist instead of a motor vehicle accident.

I ended up duct taping my busted mirror to my handlebar and went on my way.

May I ask why Ontario screws people over in hit and runs? I just want to know, cause it seems cagers are more likely to run from a motorcycle accident since a biker cant really do much (give chase) after being knocked to the ground.

I may be wrong but I have a feeling that if you have no other party it's kind of treated like a single vehicle accident... in other words, your fault.
 
Video: Valley of the Gods, Utah

One of the highlights of my trip. I camped out here and did the trail in the morning. It was a little difficult on a sportbike having to negotiate deep sand, washouts, big rocks, hills, washboard as I did at 5:00 and 8:20. There are some pretty cool rocks at 9:00, not sure where its from. Lava?

You dont really get a perception of how steep the hills are because the helmet is pretty high up but at times it was a little scary.

I dont have much music on my computer so I picked a random one that was long.

At the end of the trail, somoene said "So it looks like you found the edge of the Earth", so thats why I picked an extraterrestrial themed music.
