I finally realized that my wife's laptop had video editing software built in, so all those GoPro videos that have been building up can be edited and posted. Instead of creating a new thread for each one, I'll just post them all here and then bump the thread when I add a new one. I don't add music or effects to my videos, I just cut out the most boring sections and post everything else.


This is climbing Yarnell Hill on the Wing, 2-up. 5:24
Yarnell Hill is part of the back way into Prescott from Wickenburg. The climb is a couple of thousand feet but it takes place in just five minutes.

This is a six minute video (posted earlier) of Hwy 78 from the NM/AZ line westward into AZ. This will lead you to Clifton, and from there you hit the bottom of the 191 (Devil's Highway) and ride north. I'll be posting the 191 videos later. On the Wing. 2-up. 6:00

This the last section of the White Spars run (hwy89) as you come into the back side of Prescott. On the Wing. 2-up. 2:46

Middle section of the Spars run. Following the group leader on his HD. On the Wing. 2-up. 1:24

This is probably the best of the three Spars videos. It gets pretty technical 6 minutes in. The whole video is a little over 8 minutes but it's steady turns and curves the whole time. On the Wing. 2-up.

Apache Trail. This is NE of Phoenix and is part of the original route to Roosevelt Dam when it was being constructed. This is a great technical road but the road condition on the lower end is not great. It is double yellow all the way and when the snowbirds show up in the winter months it can be quite difficult to get around them. This is on the Wing coming back down from the upper section. Riding solo. 5:41

I think this was my first video. This would have been solo on the Concours and is primarily the lower section of Apache Trail below Tortilla Flat. There is a lot of rattling but that is the camera vibrating in its holder. I have since started using a wedge to hold it steady. Some great views of the lake off to the side. 3:21

This would have been my first ride down Yarnell Hill and is solo on the Concours. The downside of using a HD camera is that when it is overcast like this you don't get a real good clear image. 5:19

This is Hwy 60 east of Superior on the way toward Globe. You climb through some very rocky mountains on the way up and go through one tunnel. Not a lot of places to (legally) pass. Solo on the Concours. 3:27

Devil's Highway (191) north of the Morenci Mine. Northbound. This is about a month after I bought the Wing in 2010. Poor lane discipline at times. 2-up. A little over 7 minutes. There will be several more Hwy 191 videos as I have to break them down into smaller chunks.
