blakeloke Report post Posted May 8, 2016 Ray, Great video with background music and speed recorder! How in the world did you get that posted? Now, I have another challenge to figure out. Safe travels......Blake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
huffypuff Report post Posted May 8, 2016 Wayne that camera is called a black box that I brought online about 4 years ago that is obsolete. Cobra makes one that sells for $100 in Costco. I have just in case as I had brake check from a few idiots that don't want to share the road with slower motor coach. Blake I posted on YouTube then share the link to many. Took 100 minutes to upload 5 minute video with my .35 mbs upload internet connection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildebill308 Report post Posted May 8, 2016 Great footage! What gear and rpm were you pulling? My luck is to get behind someone like the coach you passed who is going alot slower and be blocked in by passing traffic. Then I just half to slow down and stay in line.

huffypuff Report post Posted May 8, 2016 Bill that is the coach in my signature pulling my 2006 Jeep Liberty. We were very loaded as we were heading south for the winter. It was a very steep climb and the fellow that was going slow may be more loaded or have other issues. My coach was performing well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rsbilledwards Report post Posted May 8, 2016 Ray, Great video, since I grew up in Medford, Oregon it brought back great memories... When I was an older teen and attending S.O.C. (Southern Oregon College), I used to ride my bicycle up to Mt. Ashland ski area in the spring time. There were many times I chased the semis in those days as a sprint workout. Then the ride down was a blast and very fast... oh what a great time it was being young and dumb!! Thanks, Bill Edwards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
huffypuff Report post Posted May 9, 2016 Bill I bet those bicycle rides up those steep grades kept you healthy. I don't know how anyone can mountain bike as I get tire on flat land. If those rides down the grade was without brakes it would be fast and scary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rsbilledwards Report post Posted May 9, 2016 The adrenalin rush made me sick a few times. I had an early tear of the lateral meniscus of one knee and the cycling allowed me to ski. Yes way back then as a Medford farm boy I was pretty stout and not bad today at 70 but old man time is tearin it up way to fast. I plan to go out on an empty tank...
