GoPro HERO

[billmac]

Hi guys
Was over in Houston in January for a few days and as I am off to do Italian and French passes in July, I was looking for a camera to film some of the twisties. I was in a HD shop and found a GoPro HERO which was about a $100 less than I would have paid at home so handed over the cash. So this is the first chance I have had to use it and the results are not bad so I have posted them for you to have a look at this is the short version as it takes for ever to up load to YouTube. The next time I am over maybe catch up with some of you Texans as you can find me in House of Pies most mornings on Kirby as I stay in Rice Village when am over.

Spectacular view. Have a great time.
Around here you'd see that road loaded with a stream of bikes running it. In your pic it still look pristine.

thanks for that, I'm going to be staying at Brunico near Lake Garda for a few days. Have you any good day trips to recommend? have you any maps that you marked up with routes? then on to Bologna and the Ducati factory visit and then on to Nice back up tp Amsterdam and home.
