Jkgraphics is a personal website devoted to my adventures. My current motorcycle is a 2006 GL1800 Gold Wing. I've used RAM Mounts to attach a Canon 1100 IS digital camera above the right handle bar to shoot pictures and video while in motion. The movie files are best viewed full screen, as they were taken in high resolution. Since many have had questions on the videos, here's a photo:

The camera, a Canon 1100 IS, has image stabilization. It is secured by a RAM Mount system which consists of a base, an arm, and the camera base. RAM Mounts are available from RAM Mounts. I chose the 2-ball base and the long arm to elevate the camera in the middle portion of the windshield. Using the cruise control, it is possible to shoot pictures and videos while riding, but you'd better have good riding skills and be aware of your road position. If there is any doubt in your mind, do not attempt to take pictures/video while moving. Here is the Pacific Coast video. |

2012 Winter Adventure: I had to cancel all plans: I found out that sciatica in my left leg was due to spinal vertebra L4 being crushed. I underwent a very successful spinal fusion surgery just before Halloween. Life was very difficult & painful for five weeks. Then in December, I started physical therapy three times a week. I now walk with a cane and pain has become discomfort. The doctors have told me that I will ride again, and I will be able to play golf this spring. I want to thank everyone who has sent well wishes and prayers my way. With any luck, I'll find a rental in the Brownsville - Los Fresnos area for 2013.
