Point of View Cameras has done a fantastic job reviewing and showing how the most popular brands compare to one another. We own the Contour + HD camera presently and so far is seems like a decent camera. I like the idea of being able to use an external mic. The mic is an extra…

Amazing how cameras have come a long way with HD functions. In Fall 2010, Stefan, Clemens and I were traveling through SouthEast Asia for 2 months. We…

Tough and Rugged Point-and-Shoot Cameras By Allan Weitz Published Wed, 2011-11-09 16:40 We recently bought a Panasonic Ts3 camera after learning on our summer 2011 Adventure that sometime regular cameras might not be durable enough for on the fly one handed shots. I eventually started to take pictures while riding and really proved to be…
Bridge Camera Roundup By Allan Weitz Published Fri, 2011-11-18 12:35 B&H Photo, where this info was obtained – click here! Great website Despite the growing availability of some impressively small mirrorless digital-camera systems, the market for bridge-style cameras continues to hold its own. If you think about it, it’s kind of cool to know you…
Got this great info from a new friend we made while in Anchorage this summer on our Alaskan Adventure. Gary and his wife Deb practically saved us from being homeless while we waited in Anchorage for the Triumph Tiger’s that we were riding to get “fixed” after experiencing stalling issues for 1000’s of kilometers. While…

This is a video not only depicting possible climate change in the Arctic but also opening a portal into the lives of the Inuit people, how they feel about their land and wildlife, as well as their culture. This is truly a well done “documentary” covering so many issues but at the same time you…
Need I say more!!

One of the best investments we made for our trip this past summer was buying fork seal protectors. For $25 these little things can save you a lot of inconvenience. Although we have no proof that using fork seal covers worked, I guess you can say since we never had any issues perhaps they did.…
Sorry to post again back to back but is this an amazing display of riding skills? An over 700 pound bike? This cop, and by the way I am partial to cops as I live with one…handles his Harley like a bicycle. Props To This Cop Can’t seem to figure out how to post a…
We have always been intrigued by the KTM bikes and their rugged ADV looks but as far as a bike for us and our riding they are a bit over kill. Sure is a great ADV bike and from everything we read while comfort may be lacking on the pavement, this is a great choice…
