Cool Bonneville with two logical riding buddies

I took advantage of the gorgeous weather yesterday and went on a little cruise with two guys who are both named Trey and both ride Vulcan 900's. I got almost the whole thing on video.

We started at Blue Jay Point which is a park at Falls Lake near Raleigh, North Carolina. We rode around the lake and then headed into north Raleigh.

The bikes:

Thumbs up

Okay - looks like a nice ride through a genteel, civilized area. Nice!

Good to see one classy Triumph among 'em! Kermit the frog and Tele-Tubby, the two Kawasakis - are pretty cool too - just not my kind of bikes!

You must have a pretty good camera mount - very steady and smooth. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks. I've been getting comments elsewhere on the stability of the camera mount. It's a RAM mount that I got here. I have no affiliation with CycleGadgets.com, just passing on my source to anyone who might be interested.

The green Vulcan is still in its break-in period which is why the riding was relatively slow and we never exceeded 60MPH. Plus he was the newest rider of the three of us, with about 300 or 400 miles under his belt. We actually both did MSF together but I have been riding my motorcycle exclusively since the middle of the MSF class and he's just mainly been pleasure riding.

As my riding gets better, my videos should improve.
