4 Days to Go and Lots to Do

Further Acknowledgements
Neglected to mention Hermy's BMW (Port Clinton PA) earlier - great dealer, great team - from presales through post-sales service. I bought my LT new there, and they have been great to deal with. See you guys when I get back...

The Snuzzles gang - Holly, Jena, Shera, Terry - thanks for the good wishes today (and the hat) - I will proudly wear my Snuzzles attire at the top of the world.

Szak - who dropped off a biker-approved good luck charm - much appreciated.

Chad A from the LT forum - appreciate the advice on the video mount - situation improving, still not right - the pictures and advice were a help - thanks.

Video (Argh...)
Still wrestling with this (when I should be doing other things like getting ready) - working on two options. The first, inspired by Chris A is a handlebar mirror hole mount:

Still wobbly. Tried a J-Peg mount, with optional boot stabilization:

Best so far, but not great. Will try a lighter camera tomorrow, and a non-HD one. Could be this camera is too heavy to not wiggle.

My images will be posted on Smugmug if interested (and whatever becomes of video):

Back to packing...
Blackie out.
