Hey thanks man. We'll see how it goes. Illinois doesn't post information about the class schedule until April 21st, so after that I will see what class times are available. It's like a ~20 hour class but they provide the motorcycle and handle the testing in-class, so no DMV issues and won't need a bike. Hopefully I can get into the class / get the moto license earlier (for summer) rather than later. I've watched a few of your videos and thought the heads & tails was cool. The soda can stove, was pretty cool too, I had never seen that. Do you buy and flip the bikes? Sorry if you answered that before.
@@CoreyOlsonLevi I do buy and flip occasionally, this past year I did a zuma 50 and also a Honda Rebel 500. Usually just when I come across a deal by happenstance, I don’t sit around looking for bikes to flip or it’s not a necessary part of my income or anything. Glad you’ve enjoyed some of my videos!!! Look forward to what your going to come up with
I definitely know what you mean about personal projects. I love motovlogging and riding. It gets me away from being stationary where I'm in front of my computer, teaching or animating most of the time. I love both, but my hobby is different, and with a creative challenge that's not too far outside of my wheel house. Kind of like how an illustrator my enjoy plein air painting. Nice catch with the shopping cart. Good luck on getting your MC license, and enjoy your hike.
Awesome of u with the cart…… I have never ridden a scooter before but am looking into getting one for local transportation.. Been researching which is best and if new or used is better for me
I wouldn't put premium fuel in the scooter, since it's not a high compression engine. It's made for regular octane. Unless the engine is knocking for some reason. Thanks for the great videos. I used to have a Zuma and I kind of miss it. Thinking about getting a used one that I found at my local dealer.
Yeah, the price difference for this is negligible. I could feel a very slight "oomph" i.e., a tiny bit more acceleration when using premium. So it just felt a little snappier, although I may have been imagining it since it was so subtle haha. And yeah the Zuma's are great, kinda wanted to get a 125cc. They're just kinda fun being so small and easy to handle. Anyways thanks for watching, and stay well.
Actually premium is pretty good with avoiding build up in the carburetor and especially chevron or shell having additive cleaners. It won’t do much on performance but is always best to have less ethanol 👍🏼
Hey friend, I am more-so the business guy (and not really a "pro editor" but a lot of things happen to rub off on me from doing 4,000+ projects over the last ~10 years.) Happy to share my settings regarding GoPro and Export settings. For GoPro: - 4K, 24fps, Highest Bitrate - Super-wide (as wide as possible) - Boost Image Stabilization on GoPro 8 - Disable Boost for GoPro 9 IMO - GoPro Color Profile For Adobe Premiere: - VBR 2 Pass - Render Max Depth / Quality - Render Using Software - Target Bitrate 50 - Max Bitrate 75 This is the gist of it, I would have to pull cameras and go through all settings if you are asking for specific settings (this is all off the top off my head.) Let me know if you have any specific questions. Generally most of the settings on a GoPro are fine. Tips: ruclips.net/video/GbFWqhXGx5U/видео.html I think GoPro 8 is honestly the best for motovlogging, the GoPro 9 produces way too much blur (likely from software image stabilization.) GoPro 9 does have a bit more detail, vibrant colors and resolution, but that blurry image stabilization drives me crazy so I am still using the GoPro 8 as my main camera, with the 9's as my secondary and cutaway cameras. The 9 also seems to have more cropping, i.e., the 8 produces a wider field of view. Overall I think the "improvements" of the 9 make it more suitable and better for various activities but not motovlogging. I think the 8 is better for motovlogging, mostly because the 9 has some blurriness and cropping that I (personally) do not like. The 8 also seems to capture a better range of color, even if those colors don't look as vibrant; i.e., the 9 blows out the sky, so you won't see as much clouds, and sidewalks / roads appear to be washed out, lacking color detail. So the 9 has more vibrant colors, but it tends to be washing out colors and lacking the range of colors that the 8 has; the 8 will look a little "flatter" on color, but capture that range of color detail allowing you to still see clouds, etc. Hard to describe by text alone, sorry for the rambling. If you have questions LMK.
Good luck with getting your motorcycle license, excited to see where this channel goes and how your riding may progress!!! 👍

Luck is when preparation meets opportunity, very true ! Nice camera shots 🤙

Would you say it’s best to ride on roads or side walks. I want my daughter to get a scooter. She’s 16.
Since you’re a pro editor could you share your gopro settings and your render settings? Thanks
