I'm going to Socially Distance myself on my bike

[Brentbat]

Well, my wife headed back to Australia early, so that means I'm solo during these crazy Corona-filled times.

I'm planning to socially distance myself with 2 days of riding this weekend. Not many cars on the road, should be wonderful!

I was just talking to my doctor the other day about this very subject and had this this pop up in the notifications on my phone after I hung up with him. I thought it was pretty good timing

Does seem like a time when people can get some VERY UNUSUAL photos. Right?

That drone does a pretty good job of keeping him in the frame the whole time!

I sent a message to my son, who has a commercial drone license, asking whether this was a self piloting ("follow me") drone or was there a remote operator. It's interesting that the camera pans at times and then there are times when the drone follows to keep the rider in the frame. Very cool video, and the music helps.

I've been following ride freak since he was on an xr650r . He's also ridefreak on adv.

Now we have fiber internet I probably watch YouTube 98% of the time.

JMZ is great at social distancing. Someone check him out, see if he has a bike, and send him stickers.

It looked like self piloting. I know there are some where you can tell it where to view from: front, rear, side, an angle, etc,... and they constantly track you and adjust according to your movement. I would guess they also have some kind of collision detection/avoidance ability to keep them from running into things like trees, buildings, and such.
