Default New Items for Road Trip

On June 16, 2009, my son (man4mopar) and I will be riding from Rochester, Minnesota to the Smokey Mountains. In preparation for that trip I have purchased several items that may be of interest to Forum members:
We are planning on doing the Tail of the Dragon and Cherohala Skyway rides while there. Going to take my Nikon 35mm Digital camera and my camcorder along and attach it to the handlebars on these rides.

Will let you know what I think about the above items upon our return from this trip.

If you have time jump on hwy 19E to Burnsville NC and go south on Hwy 80 it makes the dragon look like a kiddy trail... in some places you can look down and to your left and see 4 sections of the same road below you, plus its 30 miles longer than the dragon. at the bottom turn right on hwy 70 and you will be headed back toward Asheville.

Your gonna love the dragon and the Cherohala skyway...did those roads and more last June, and had a blast!!

Do you have some sort of case for your Nikon? I would be worried about some big bugs or rocks taking out your lense?

Not going to mount the Nikon, but I am mounting a small digital camcorder. Taking the Nikon for still shots when I am off the bike.
