Howdy all! I'm new around here, and these threads seem to be the best place to start. The name is HowlOnWheels, and I'm a Brooklyn-based vlogger. Been riding for a bit over a year, after starting rather late at 30 (something of a 1/3rd life crisis?). I didn't have more than a distant interest in riding until I actually started watching some videos online from channels like ARidersLife and Jake The GardenSnake. Pulled the trigger on some MSF classes, got a bike and started riding.

This Spring I decided to grab a camera for both safety as well as to test the waters in the Motovlogging community. I started a channel on YouTube in June, and I've got about a dozen videos up so far. Please feel free to take a look and let me know your thoughts!

For my setup, I'm using a Countour +2 with a Drift branded mic, which seems to be working pretty well for me so far. I was impressed with the quality of the sound, given that I'm wearing a Bell Bullitt, which are definitely not the quietest of helmets.

For my bike, I recently moved from a 1972 CB350 to a 1973 CB500. Anyone else out there doing this on a vintage bike? Anyone else out there in NYC? Let's meet up! FYI, going to Bear Mountain this Saturday morning, the 19th.
 
I guess it would help to post my channel page, right? Derp...

Since I can't seem to post a URL, my channel name is HowlOnWheels. So, youtube slash howlonwheels!
 
Hah, welcome to the 1/3rd mid-life crisis club :p ! You're vlogs are spoken like a true Brooklyner... every sentence had a cuss work :p hah jk ;) ... but no eastern accent :o ! Ah well, good catches on the streets - I like that stuff :) .

Thanks Ronin, I appreciate the sub, will sub back! The lack of accent is from growing up in the Northern part of New England, the further from Boston, the more neutral the accent, until you get to Quebec.

juicyjuice, I still have problems with keeping the wind off the mic when I get over about 65, due to the nature of the Bell Bullitt. It would be nice if it had a chin skirt, but for most of my riding/vlogging I'm in the city under 40. I'll keep an eye out for cameras at Bear Mountain this weekend!
