    Another great video Quasi. Always makes me want to ride.

      Thanks for the support, Brent! I just uploaded a raw episode for Day 7 on my @QuasiRAW channel. It's a composited 2-hr timeline from my helmet camera (unedited)... that should be ready for viewing in 4K later today. I'm still editing the "production" video for the main channel, so that'll take another week to finish.
      There were a LOT of great roads to ride (or watch and "virtual ride") on Day 7, but I wasn't having a good time by the end of the day... too many sketchy roads and close calls with cagers. I was getting Cannonballed out. The raw video shows the emotional ups and downs of Cannonball. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

      Doug and I were chatting about those long, open stretches of road earlier in the ride. I mentioned that I'd love to play "East Bound and Down" or "I've Been Everywhere, Man" to some of that footage, but UA-cam would strike it for copyright infringement. 😉👍 --QM

    I'll be riding again this year, didn't ride a motorcycle since my crash in October 2022. Finally in better shape and ready to get back on two wheels. Buying a new Grom soon, can't wait ☺️

    Quanto spazio avete in America! Mi affascinano le strade sterrate che percorrete ogni tanto. Qui da noi le puoi trovare ma sono tortuose,piene di alberi e erba,pozzaghere e sassi. Siete fortunati!🙂

    • @QuasiMotard

      La maggior parte del territorio interno degli Stati Uniti è scarsamente popolato, quindi ci sono molte strade sterrate e ghiaiose. Le persone che vivono nelle zone rurali possono rimanere bloccate dopo i temporali quando le strade sono fangose. Sono cresciuto in una zona rurale e ho guidato moto da cross ovunque... è stato davvero divertente! 😉👍 --QM

    Yep. I definitely want to do the Ozarks now. Makes my little backroads rides here in the outskirts of DFDub seem kinda boring. You guys have been there and done that several times now. What is your favorite time of year to ride there?

    • @QuasiMotard
      @QuasiMotard  9 місяців тому +1

      Late spring or early fall are the best times to ride there. Summertime can get pretty steamy. Late fall is beautiful to see the trees changing, but it can get windy and chilly without much warning: ua-cam.com/video/nbGb5DqH88w/v-deo.htmlsi=ndy5q1kTlxUh5aaU . Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

      I'm encoding Day 7 (RAW) right now, too! It's a full, unedited timeline from my hemlet camera... about 2 hours of combined footage. I was running short on batteries that day, so I rationed myself.
      I have the full day on 360 and dashcam, so the "production" video will require several more days to build.

    Which touring windshield should I buy for my pcx.
    Love your videos!

    • @QuasiMotard
      @QuasiMotard  8 місяців тому +1

      Howdy, and thanks for watching! I tried several different windscreens on my PCX's, and this National Cycle screen worked the best for my touring needs:
      National Cycle N50002 : amzn.to/49CnWRS (fits 2015-2018 PCX150)
      National Cycle N50005 : amzn.to/3TedRVj (fits 2019-2022 PCX150/160, but verify fitment before ordering!)
      The height of my screen is a bit too short and creates some turbulence at my helmet, so I added a cheap deflector at the top to manage airflow (and noise) for the Cannonball trip: amzn.to/49wPHev .
      That cheap spoiler worked reasonably well, but the mounts weren't very tight and loosened up several times through the trip. The adjustable side pivots developed some slack that couldn't be tightened, so it rattled for the last several days of the trip. Higher quality spoilers/deflectors are available (such as the MRA X-creen), but they often cost as much or more than the windshield itself! 🤣👍 --QM

    Is there any Honda Sliverwing 600 Rideing on the Cannonball with you guys?

    • @QuasiMotard
      @QuasiMotard  7 місяців тому

      No, we didn't have any larger scooters following along with us in 2023... at least not for any significant distance. There were several full-sized street and ADV bikes that followed with us, including at least one rider ( #117 BattleBornRider ) who had to swap his Kawasaki Z125 after it failed (continued the Cannonball route on his Yamaha T7).
      I haven't decided yet whether I'll be competing for points or just riding as a spectator in 2025. If I decide to ride as a spectator, then I might ride my SilverWing 600 and focus more on videography. If that happens, I'll DEFINITELY skip the gravel and off-road sections... I wouldn't want to wrangle that 530-lb pig on slippery surfaces! Cheers! 😉👍 --QM

    • @QuasiMotard
      @QuasiMotard  9 місяців тому +2

      No, most of the ADV150's were wearing the factory rubber, which has a light dual-purpose tread (90% street, 10% dirt). A few riders upgraded to Michelin City Grip tires, and those are NOT good off-road... that's what I ran on my PCX150. 😉👍 --QM

    What did you do to get that nice heads up display on the video?

    • @QuasiMotard
      @QuasiMotard  4 місяці тому

      The telemetry data for the heads-up display is recorded by my GoPro Hero11 camera (and my Garmin Zumo GPS when I'm riding with it). The gauge overlay is generated using a third-party program called Telemetry Overlay: goprotelemetryextractor.com/
      I stitch everything together with Adobe Premiere Pro to create the final videos. Creating the overlays is a lot of extra work, but I think the end results are worth the effort. Cheers! 😉👍 --QM
