I wrote down daily notes and am currently writing up daily blogs. You can find them hosted at www.bmwbikes.ca/blog Five blogs are posted, still seven more to post.

If you enjoyed the movie, let me know. Any suggestions or ideas would be welcomed as I will be taking a prolonged bike trip next year. I'm collecting notes of different camera angles etc for my set of videos after next years trip.

That 1 lane twisty road looked really cool! Where was that? Death Valley?

A couple things I noticed with the vid...the part on the strip and any tunnels you went through weren't that great, and any really twisty roads were hard to watch from the video being sped up. That one lane road was cool though and I liked the fly bys in the desert.

The video was nicely shot and edited. My personal preference would be to use the fast-forward effect sparingly, and show some of the nicer roads in real time for a bit. The music was clearly chosen to create a sense of energy, but it got a bit exhausting. Or maybe that's my middle age showing...

Never mind the critics on here! Great video man! looked like a great trip!

Great video consider years ago it was all done with less quality cameras and video editing software was mediocre.

Props again man!

nice vid! 2 weeks to california and back? Did it feel rushed? On average, how many km were u clocking per day. I always figured that was a 3 week run, to properly enjoy sights and factor in unintended delays.
