Rumbling around in the bowels of the metropolis - what an excellent adventure. I think I got some insight into the mind of a herd animal. Thanks to Martin and crew for the great tour with some great nighttime views of our beautiful city. Thanks to Joe from Hyde Park for beverage sharing.

What passes for "cameras" these days kinda makes me chuckle, considering the hoops and hurdles I'm dealing with right now with big Sony studio cams for a broadcast that no one will be watching.<br />
<br />
These GoPro cameras were $99 at Costco not long ago. I was very tempted but I didn't get one, I already have many cameras I don't use.<br />

Cool, I'm curious to see the video. I want to see how it shoots in "real life". I don't trust their sample videos on the site, with their controlled conditions and post sweetening...<br />

What helmet camera are you using dude? I tried to talk myself into a Helmet Hero HD type camera, but at $299, I can't justify it...<br />

I'm also surprised how good most of the footage looks; the helmet mounting experiment worked well. I'm gonna try to get up a 15min edited version asap (Youtube limitation). I'll post a link in this thread and on the Marauders Group page once it's up on my youtube page.</div>

Post ride report:<br />
Saturday night’s ride set a new record for the Marauders. We had counts of 212, and 220. Either way about a hundred over any previous ride. There were motorcyclists that met up with us, naked guys, and mayhem aplenty. At times it looked like Critical Mass. Thanks to the diligent efforts of the Council and others, we were able to pull this off. Not even a report of an injury.

Saturday night’s ride set a new record for the Marauders. We had counts of 212, and 220. Either way about a hundred over any previous ride. There were motorcyclists that met up with us, naked guys, and mayhem aplenty. At times it looked like Critical Mass. Thanks to the diligent efforts of the Council and others, we were able to pull this off. Not even a report of an injury. It was difficult, and I was short with some of the new riders, but as we all know it was for all of our own good. Shit I even stayed relatively sober. I think the most remarkable part was the complete lack of police. They tailed us with squad cars and even a boat the entire ride last year with 35% of this years turn out.<br />
So I think we can call this a success-but it was close. We stretched the limits on what the Marauders organization can handle on this one.<br />
Looking forward to the winter.<br />
