I lost my balance a bit standing in front of my bigscreen, I was not expecting the drone haha
The quality of that video is incredible, I got lost in that countryside.
I sure hope your blasters make it there safely, I can't wait for that unboxing!
Yeah, those DJI Phantom quadcopters get it done.

Here is a video of it 60 feet in the air with a 5-6-7 mph cross breeze. It sits there as a rock in the sky

Great vid man, everytime i see that Indian i like it a little bit more, today i had a full blown "phwoaaaarrrr" at the last section close up on the bike, so many nice details, a stunner. I kinda pictured a big lazy vtwin with bags of low down torque but not too revvy but it looks like it pulls astoundingly. You despatch a trail of traffic pretty quick. I love it, so good looking.

I really enjoy the vids and hope these keep coming once you land in Italy, travel safe man :rock: :rock:
These things are sweet. I have had it a year now, got 5k on it. It's a V-Twin, but it's a stand alone engine just for the Scout. Instead of a pushrod engine, it's a double belt, double overhead cam, four valve per cycle set up making 100hp. It revs to 8600 in a snap. It has so much torque I rarely rev it up above 4500. After that, you better hang the fark on! There's a few hard pulls in that video and one or two 95 and 100!

Two months till you see the radios!!!!??? Man that's kinda scary... You have someone like your brother or somebody helping make sure they don't get messed with right?!?!?

Id have a hard time feeling secure with mine just sitting so far from me. And you have way more gems than I do.

Thank you Christine, I am ready for this move to be over already. These things are a lot of work. I have touched everything we own. Separated what goes from what stays, sold, trashed, stored or packed up what is going. Certainly looking forward to an ice cold beer overlooking the Mediterranean when it's done.

I'll have my 920 with me, so it will be just like starting over. :blink: :'-( :-O Believe me, I have thought of every scenario there is, from the cargo ship sinking or being hijacked and set on fire with all my radios on board. This is the only place I can explain how much effort it took it acquire all these boxes.

As for packing them up, today the shipping company comes to do it and I'm sure they will be annoyed with me as I macro manage the procedure. The worst part is, we aren't allowed to pack our own stuff. It has to be done by the company moving us or they don't insure everything. But I will have my Go Pro camera rolling so if they fark it up, DOWN COME THE ANVIL! :annoyed:

Great bike vid Chris. :-)

Looks just like the local rural roads around here!
Thanks Jimmy, yes, we are right on the foot of the mountain range, so tons of roads to ride around here. The bike goes into a crate today as well.

Good luck with the travel and I hope all your stuff gets there in one piece. The flight box for your radio should protect that Lasonic pretty nice.

Thanks Joe, I'm hoping that case can make it possible to travel around Europe with any mid sized radio.

What? THEY have to pack them? That's crazyness!!! You better get that all on tape. Guide them if you can. Insurance can't replace all the time you put into these. I doubt they could replace them physically anyways. I'm gonna pray there are no problems.

For insurance reasons the whole house has to be packed up by the moving company. The guy did a good job, but to add extra pressure, I let him know I was filming him!

Remember, these aren't going through the US postal service. They are going into a truck, then moved into a shipping container. I'm confident they will be fine and I had a lengthy conversation with the guy about what they mean to me.

Oh,good! I wasn't exactly sure what was the situation there. So I'm sure since the USPS or FedEx or UPS isn't getting their mitts on your collection, they'll most likely be alright. Still if the ship is attacked by Godzilla. Then all bets are off.😄😄😄 Thank God for insurance. I wanna wish you and yours the very best with regards to your move. Stay safe.

Man, with my luck, Godzilla could still be in play. Believe me, in the last few weeks I have woken up in cold sweats dreaming of my boombox collection being attacked by Samoli pirates, or Posiden'd by a "rogue wave" or torpedoed by a Japanese submarine manned by 70 year old sailors who don't know WWII is over! At this point, I need to just drink a beer and watch them sail away!

One would think those boom boxes are going on the Titanic . I can just picture the old girl split in half and Boomboxes just falling out all over the f****** place. That's like something that would happen to me they would sacrifice the Titanic just to get rid of my collection.
