Deals Gap....one my faves

Been going up to the mountains of NC, TN, GA for the last several years. Started out with a solo trip in 04 and has blossomed into a 10-12 rider affair each Spring. Rode a Kawi ZZR1200 the first couple of years, a Honda CBR the last few, and will likely take my - new to me - 98 ST2 the next time up.

Actually spotted several Duc ST's up there last year which set the ball in motion to find one for myself. A couple of months later, and voila.

Don't have a camera mount for the Duc yet but here is a little vid from a fall trip in 09. That's my brother in front on my old ZZR(he loves that thing, I did too).


Here is a little vid from a few days earlier as my bro does he first trackday.


And here is a clip from recent trackday with some friends.


Looking forward to capturing some good times abaord the ST2. Anyone have any suggestions for a camera and mount that work aboard a V-twin. I'm thinking the vibes may be a problem for my old miniDV cam as it already suffers some on a smooth running I4 bike.

Very nice Mike!
I enjoyed the vids, brings back memories from our 1st get together last spring at Deals Gap. We might have been the ST's you saw up there. I have no experience with a video mount, you may want to pose that question in the ST forum.
