I go into further detail why I chose the Kodak V570 digital camera for my motorcycle helmet. The camera is placed within my helmet in front of my nose. It's small enough to fit without obstructing my view. I got this great filming setup idea from Mordeth13.

I head out to the University of Hawaii at Manoa. I've made adjustments to my headlights so they point downward. It's another night vlog, but there's a lot more light due to the headlight adjustment, so it's a bit more visible.

It rains hard, and I ride under a flooded overpass. The water was deep enough to fill my boots with water. It was certainly a new exprience for me. I was afraid I would get electrocuted in the water by the motorcycle. If you listen carefully, you'll hear my phone ring.
I miss the morning rush hour, but there are remnants of the traffic on the freeway. It rains while I ride. The rain stings, but I marvel at how the camera is protected from the rain! I also talk about a few little tricks & modifications to the Kodak V570 camera to assist motorcycle vlogging. See my previous videos on why I chose this camera and how I rigged this up to fit in the helmet.
It's dusk, and I'm heading out to my buddy's house for dinner. An ambulance crosses my path, my oil light turns on, I talk about leaving Hawaii, and I mention about a nasty motorcycle leg amputation. Oh, yeah, and I gripe about YouTube's bug - I have a Director's Account, but I'm unable to access the controls and priveledges of a Director.

I vent my feelings about an incident that happened earlier in the night. I still feel bad and I don't know why I should. I thought I had done everything to ensure something didn't happen but I was shocked to see someone in my rear view.

1:12am, Honolulu, Hawaii, at the Alexander Street Onramp. My heart goes out to the friends and family of those involved. RIP. http://www.honoluluadvertiser.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080803/NEWS06/808030350/1001

We start our way out of the Waikiki gas station, and head to PCI. It's a great night time ride, and we have a good sized crowd.

JP lives another day. The only reason he didn't get mauled was because the car had aftermarket fairings. Otherwise, he would have been terribly mauled. God has been merciful.
