Motorcycle Vlog : Duck Learns Chinese
I cut out the explanation bit to keep my vlog short, but I’ve been subscribed to peggyteacheschinese after Mordeth13 linked over to her youtube and been watchin’ that and some audio-tapes I found the last two weeks in an attempt to get my Mandarin on! Will update in a month again, and hope will show improvement.
Vid starts off where I preface about the other languages I’ve half-assed attempted so far, and how it seems I always just lean the “bad words” first, heh! PG13 for potty mouth. Xie Xie! ^-^

Kids Dirt Bike Ride 7/4/07 Not so Extreme
Kids trail ride in Northern Michigan w/ the JonesCam Helmet Camera… My apologizes to Mike Gutowski (IT200S) and Daryl Lohrer (YZ250) for not including them in the credits, but what do you expect riding borrowed bikes.

Motorcycle Hits Deer @ 85 mph, Helmet Cam 6-28-09
[Replay @ 5:49] [Watch in HD] [Don't forget to rate!]
I hit a buck (had 2+ in antlers) on my 04 GSXR 1000 (best looking year) on June 28, 2009. I did not crash, but the bike was totaled. It literally jumped right in front of me (about 10 feet at most) and I had no time to react! While editing this vid, the deer was only on cam for 3 frames which is 3/30 or 1/10 of a sec! I saw it’s head right in front of my fist and then boom! I think the momentum from accelerating out of the corner is what saved me, along with the fact that I hit it while it was still in mid-air.
Not only did I not crash, but there was no car coming the other way to kill me when I crossed over. I rode it for another 45 mins until it overheated.
I survived with not a scratch. The deer was still in mid air as it’s neck/shoulder was sliced by my right fork and brake rotor. Then it busted my frame slider all the way back, brushed my knee (leaving fur in the velcro), and flung off the exhaust, when it made like a top and spun to the other side of the road leaving a leaving a blood trail over 50 ft (2 parallel lines so you could see how much the deer spun when the lines intersect).
By the way, I am not looking at my gauges. The cam was tilted down by accident, but I was fortunate because IF it was tilted up you wouldn’t be able to see the impact! Unfortunately, I forgot to buy a lotto ticket that day. Filmed with a VIO POV 1.5 helmet cam.
