I thought you guys might want to view a video that was produced last month of me and my Nomad.

Trip,
Very cool...!! Are you getting royalties for that bit...?? J/K...that's awesome and just seeing that really helps put a personality to your photos. Oh....nice looking bike you have there too.... ;)

[dantama]

It's always surprising how much more of a sense you get about a person from video, over still photos.

Inquiring minds want to know...What is the black box on the handlebar, what is above the license plate, where did you get the bag on the backrest, is that a ride bell on the peg, and is there a water bottle holder or anything on the rear crashbar?

[rlfaubion]

I couldn't get the link to the video to work. The link here to the video is fine.

...and how many "takes" did it take? http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

Seriously, congratulations Trip! Nice video. :)

[landman]

nice video trip.

[gghost]

Nice to put a voice to the picture. Good job!

[pirate]

Cool video, Trip! It's neat to be able to put a voice with the face.

[caddman11]

Nice video--I got back into riding because of health issues too---do it now or never.

[bear]

Great job Trip!!

[taranis]

Oh my but how big your head must be gettin'.. can you even get through the door? http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

Seriously, great video. You did really well! And congratulations for getting through your health crisis.

Hopefully we can meet up someday. Can I get an autograph? http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

[dabull]

That was cool Trip...are those stock pipes?

The black box is either my J&M CB or my Garmin Zumo. Depends on which side your looking at. What is above my license plate is my inspection sticker. The bag on the backrest is a windshield bag that I mounted above the license plate and behind the back seat. Nope, no ride bell anywhere on my Nomad. I have covers on my back crash bars.

[lomax]

.....geez, they will let any butt ugly guy do a commercial now!!!! http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

....really Trip, nice job! Thats quite an accent you got going there! Who'd a guessed! http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

Yep....stock (debaffled) pipes.

This.....coming from a BC, Canada guy....eh? Wonder who's accent is more pronounced....Trip or Lomax..... http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

[rickyboy]

Nice work !

I've chatted with you via email a time or two not really saying much but dealing with an issue of some small importance. I always felt that no matter what it was, you cared and that you did your best. I have always thought that you were a "good guy". It's obvious that I was right by just the way you came across in your video commercial. It is nice to know what you sound like and to put the face I've seen with the voice.
We're all fortunate that those people saved your life.
Thanks for what you do.
I am looking fwd. to meeting you {and others} in Custer.

They make you guys pack around huge ass inspection stickers like this?

And what is on the drivers backrest?

That's a really cool video Trip. You did very well with a video camera in your face. Congratulations on your recovery. That is an inspiration for those on the forum who may be faced with life threatning illnesses. Take care.

Trip, your a star now, and I didn't notice no acent either. Sounded just fine to me. http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

Cool Trip ;)

See you in Custer; so you can hear my accent. (Hint; similar to yours.)

It's a heel rest.

[coacha]

I see Oscar in your future!

[paul]

So, when you get the call for Hollywood, give me a call.

Great spot, man. Sound good, look good, and that accent.....ya'll jus nevamind, hea!? Been speaking east texas all my life.

[audiogooroo]

Nicely done pal!

[papat]

They make you guys pack around huge ass inspection stickers like this? I bought my bike in Texas and live in New Mexico and I come home with one. :-/ It did not stay on long.

[trip]

Hmmmm....I've never noticed an accent??? http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif http://s2.images.proboards.com/grin.gif

[Cajunrider]

Talking about accents, it doesn't matter where I travel to in the US, I am always asked "You must be from Louisiana?" The flat Cajun accent can't be mistaken. I was staying in a Holiday Inn in North Houston a few years ago while attending a training seminar. A mature lady desk clerk asked me the question about being from Louisiana. I told her yes that's where I'm from. She then said "You must be a coon-a$$"? I said Yep. I asked if she was from Texas and she proudly said "Yes I am". I then asked her if she was a horse's a$$. Her face turned beet red and she replied "Yep".

[taranis]

Dan,

1st shot: Heel rest for the footpeg above it.
2nd shot: Yep that's the inspection plate with sticker. PITA, but no other way to mount it.
3rd shot: Utopia backrest - that's the pouch that comes with it. The leftmost arrow is another angle of the inspection sticker plate. Insp. sticker is the blue part.

Thanks

I am not up on heel rests. I'll have to look that over at Custer.

And what motorcycle hater implemented a big ass inspection sticker? And why are the descendants of the alamo taking it lying down? :)

[trip]

Got those from Kuryakyn a long time ago Dan. I don't know if they make them anymore. All the other stuff Taranis explained is correct..........except on the Utopia backrest, that's not actually the bag, it's the flap that goes over the bag. The bag becomes a PITA after a while, so I took it off.

Trip, very interesting. I have a close friend (partner at work) who has been suffering with the same problem for the past two years. Would you mind telling me what worked for you? His doctor wants to do surgery, but he steadfastly refuses. Keeps going from dr. to dr. relying on meds to see him through.
I told him , I've read of people who were temporarily bagged, and let their insides heal and ended up being fine. He doesn't want ot hear it.

[skeeter]

Finally got to see and hear the vid. Pretty kewl!

What accent?

[rksaw]

Trip, nice video.

Dan, you're a detail oriented person I take it...LOL.

In my case, I didn't need surgery, but damn near died from my body trying to reject my colon. Never had to go to a bag, thank goodness. After taking steroids and meds for years, I'm in remission and have no problems, but I will probably be on meds the rest of my life. Small price to pay given the alternative.

[jamiep24]

Cool story.....Cool video..... And cool bike... Nice to meet ya Trip!!

[jayc]

Thanks for the info. My buddy is heading to Boston this Friday to see some specialist in the field.
