"Embrace the suck, but later enjoy the memories."

Who is that? Google image search isn't working for me right now.
As this shunpiking scooter trash once said.....
"Adventures suck when you're having them."
Looking into this a bit more, I really don't want to be that guy that's all camera'd out, but I might just have to get a gopro and a boom mount for that ride. Too many scenic views, and I don't want to have to stop for each one. Because if I wasn't getting it captured, then I'd be too tempted to gaze, and end up running off the road.
Anybody have any gopro recommendations, and how to manage the data that a gopro generates over a 10-day motorcycle trip?
Edit: Also, I see that Going to the Sun Road requires reservations.
Reservations: Reservations are required for vehicle access through the West Entrance between June 13 and September 28, 2025, from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
I'm sure our coordinator is on that, but I might bring that up in the chat once I'm back near my phone. Remind me, bud? ;^)
I don't care about the weather.
Let's just fucking go. Just start out slowly....
Then yank on the throttle....
I'd probably end up like this, though.
...what was then Mish Mish...
Hadn't heard about that. That's depressing.
I'll let your wife handle going across those.
So the Hammerin Hokies got hammered.
Hopefully the Lady Bombers don't get bombed.
And yet they can't keep a $4M QB...
It's not that they couldn't. They decided he isn't good enough to justify that amount

Also thought most of the House Settlement were minimums so nothing keeping schools from exceeding it

Last time I was in town the wife and I hung out there and had a few beers. One of the few places that still feels the same as it did in the 2000s.
Tennessee- 31st in education, 42nd in median income, 31st in GDP per person. But fucking A - go Orange... above every other fucking thing- God, Country, Family. Go fucking Orange.. beat Bama- all that matters in life.
The settlement is already dead
The State of Tennessee just passed a law that essentially bans their schools from following it
Tennessee now has the most athlete friendly NIL law.It appears to prohibit all of the House settlement's limits on NIL comp (salary cap, collective restrictions, etc.) unless they're part of a federal law, valid court order, or determined to be exempt from antitrust law. pic.twitter.com/7o0QTQBGMi— Mit Winter (@WinterSportsLaw) May 16, 2025
Try getting a job without a connection
Largely agree with the general sentiment, but there are some similarities.
Top executives get paid lots of money as a reward when they fail. See Justin Fuente and the soon to be former CEO of Novo Nordisk.
Can substitute almost any football coach for a school eligible to play in a bowl game with almost any CEO of a large corporation and it will hold.
Oh it will be- weather permitting of course... I have heard of snow in July there. But praying for dry skies and manageable wind!
These are great suggestions. Thank you!
We're leaving Vegas super early to avoid the heat and head into Badwater Basin and up to Zabriskie and Furnace Creek. Then getting out of dodge and up to Mammoth Lakes to camp. From Mammoth Lakes we're going to make our way through Yosemite and grab a motel in the Modesto sprawl.
We're gonna sleep in in the Modesto area to let rush hour die down and make our way over to Oracle Park and then across the GGB and up the coast.
No other modes of transportation other than on foot and ubers in the big cities.
That sounds amazing.
Yeah I loved getting my truck on the ferry down there. Howard's was still closed for the season when I was there. That was the whole destination of the drive too, but this was pre smart phone era and after reading all about it, I didn't realize it was only open seasonally.
Little Bobby Tales and I are riding going to the sun on Harley's this summer... lets go!
Been in the job market lately? If so, you would know that the real world is very much a meritocracy. Try getting a job with no proven experience or without superior skills today.
I tried to work in Glacier NP and Going to the Sun Rd, but we couldn't make it work with flight locations and times and prices.
I bought an SJCam SJ8 Pro in 2024 to record drumming videos and whatever else. I got it on a post-Christmas deal for $120 bucks, which made it significantly cheaper than a new GoPro of similar quality.

The C300 looks even better for 2 wheeled activities.

Not sure if you mount your phone to your handlebars, but the SJCams use an app that you can use to control the camera remotely and see what it's seeing. Might be handy if you mount it to your helmet.
As far as data management, I'd buy a micro SD card for each day. You can get 128gb for about $10 each. Find the recording resolution that will allow you to fit a day's worth of recording on one card. Alternatively, if you're going to have a laptop with you, buy one or two 512gb cards and offload them each night or two onto the laptop.
