Is that you slinger? That scoot purrrrrs like a kitten. You need those O.S.H.A. ear muffs on mine. It's soooo quite here in Carrabelle, People a mile away call to tell me I'm home.

Dang... you trust oncoming traffic more than I do, huggin' that center line in the curves!

Looks like you've got some zip in that Miracle Whip. ~40mph?

The way that scoot sounds I wouldn't worry about any more tweaking. Congrats Bro! Just one Question! If the camera is in one hand, and the throttle is in the other...  I get it! You have a cup holder!!! NICE.

Awesome footage!  The scoot really does sound like you have it very well dialed as well! 8)

Here's what happens when you bungee a tripod-mounted Sony Handycam to the back of a People 250.  :) 

Oh... and speed it up 6x so as not to bore everyone to death (if you LIKE being bored to death, start here, instead).
