where did you get this go pro mount?
Doug, it's called a Narwhal mount or Unicorn mount. Works well for the helmet + 360 cameras.
Can pick it up off Amazon for about $30.
Amazon.com : Insta360 Unicorn Helmet Mount for ONE R, ONE X, ONE Action Camera : Camera & Photo

Allows an interesting selfie perspective. This is screen capture from the raw video footage of the Insta360 camera.
In this shot, you can see I'm also using a handmade RAM arm on the back of Hayabusa (attached the Givi Rack) I built with RAM components for rear facing GoPro footage of the riders following me.

Ready to head inland again
This was Phil's very first ride with us on his big GSA. He's retired Coast Guard & has been a mechanic his entire adult life. He loved the twisty roads + group feel so much, on the first day he asked if he could get a season pass and come on all the rides. Maybe we'll be seeing more of Phil.

Thanks! i just got a gopro and want to play around with different angles. I may have to borrow some of your ideas. Been following your posts and I have enjoyed the stories and pictures.
Spent some great time at Ft Bragg for training exercises...
I (think) your Ft. Bragg was in North Carolina, not on the NorCal coast.
That section of hiway 1 between the ocean and Leggett may be the best road in California. Which east west road ends between Ft. Bragg and Leggett?
Have you ever seen that docu-series on Netflix, Murder Mountain? That's here. We're in the center of that. There was another window next to this one completely full of missing persons posters.
While locals retort the Netflix docu-series was completely blown out of proportion (migrants coming to Humboldt county for the marijuana industry and never being heard from again), the window(s) was still full of these flyers.
Mark seems to find Ice Cream wherever we go.
Highway 101 through Richardson Grove

Didn't know there was more than one....Huh....learn something new each day.....but yeah, North Carolina is the place.
I just saw the sign "Ft Bragg" and didn't think of the context surrounding this.

Shelter Cove is at the end of a 22-mile-long dead end road. You've no reason to ever come out here or even notice this place exists. Only about 700 people live here, and it's primarily a place to retire. There's a small general store, golf course, and small-plane airport and three small resort-style hotels. The range is so steep dropping into the ocean, Shelter Cove Rd seems to go straight down into the ocean. Numerous switchbacks on a poorly maintained road. It's hidden away from the world by the Coast Range and the Sinkyone Wilderness to the south. Wilderness being the key word.
The Sinkyone Wilderness is a 60-mile stretch of coastline completely undeveloped and untouched by roads or development. When Highway 1 road builders reached this area of the Pacific Coast in the 1930s, it was so rugged and remote, they routed around it and no roads were ever built. Usal Rd is a famous dual-sport dirt road that connects the Leggett section of Highway 1 to Shelter Cove. The Lost Coast Mattole Rd is to the north.
Shelter Cove is also famous for its history, as it was developed by con men and shysters who created a scam to develop the land into a massive subdivision and sell off lots (sight unseen) but many of the lots were so steep, they were unbuildable & worthless.
4500 lots were developed out of 2500 acres in the mid-1960s. Some lots went straight up 20 feet and no one paid any attention to the actual topography. During development, Winter storms destroyed over 1000 lots. Lots were sold sight-unseen. Ironically, despite half a century passing by, lots for Shelter Cove still pop up on eBay and people still buy them sight unseen.
