Nice videos. Glad to see you got some use from the GoPro. How do you feel the tires did on this trip? What milage did you get on the highway there and back? I ordered mine.

They did great I would not trade for anything else. smooth on the road portion and we pretty much set the cruise on 80-82mph. overall on the road average was right at 74mph which means you have to maintain pretty good speed to make up for going thru cities etc. I never got less then 15mpg and always between 15-17mpg which I thought was good for those speeds and if you are familiar with the route lots of hills and wind.

Man, I remember that initial descent so well because I was by myself with my wife. Kept hopping out and checking my lines. Was dead that day, no one going up or down. Thanks for sharing.

Looks good, do you have a picture of the mount setup? I like the view that camera has, I usually mount in the center of window but on narrow trails yours it nice spot.

I have it mounted to my driver side mirror, next time I am going to move it further out a bit. I would like to get a mount that would allow me to swivel it 360* or at least 180* were I had it did not work well for videoing behind because too much of the vehicle was in the way. I think if it were mounted at the outer edge vs the inner edge it would have worked better.
