Motorcycling: Callaway, Virginia - My Yamaha XZ550 Vision

Thank you for visiting my little place on the internet. I rescued a 1982 Yamaha XZ550RJ Vision that I have had since November 2003. I love to ride and to ride a Vision you have to like to twist a wrench. Here is my adventure.

TeleVISION

Here are my first feeble attempts to shoot video from the Vision. I started out trying to shoot the video from the top of the gas tank, but all I got in the video was the guage cluster and a bunch of tree tops. So, I scrapped those videos. I then moved the camera mount to the front of the fairing, above the headlight. The video was shot with a Wal-Mart special, 2MP, Samsung, point & shoot, digital camera. The following videos were shot on Ferrum Mountain Road between Ferrum, VA and Callaway, VA. This also happens to be the road that I take to and from work every day. It's a good motorcycle road, just watch the gravel in the corners every now and again.

Sorry, I had to remove the videos to make room for new ones
