Here is my first attempt at using my GoPro Hero 7. Had to add music for audio because the wind noise was annoying. Will try to capture the Guzzi's music next time.

Yes, on the right side. Doing some research on the best way to record sound. And it looks like you need a stand alone recorder and then during editing you need to merge both files. Just got the recorder, but have not tried it out yet. It's way more involved then I thought. Thank God Maria helps me out Wink
I also just realized that if you post direct-to-Facebook (instead of using the youtube link), the video quality sucks. Oh well.....live and learn

I had a good plan, but was unable to tent camp in Michigan, so I had to alter it a bit. Here is a rough map of it. It was a bitch to plan (I always said that I did not envy Laura for all her planning).

3,717 miles in 8 riding days. Did some interstates, but mostly state and county roads. Camped every night. The Guzzi behaved beautifully. After this Covid thing, it was nice to get out there and enjoy the time riding.

I was in Floyd last June on my solo BRP trip, from Charlottesville to Asheville and back, on my Royal Enfield. Floyd is a cool little town and the Floyd Hotel one of my faves, and the music circle in the general store is a hoot.
But virtually the whole town was closed due to Covid, which I assume you encountered as well. A shame cause it is fun and it was lifeless when I was there. Took a lot of the fun out of my trip. Next time! I also got a GoPro for Christmas but have not had the nerve to try it out..........gotta embrace the tech......

I went through Floyd last October coming out of Willville closing weekend. It was early morning so I couldn't say if anything was open then.
