Tooling Around NYC on My K1100LT Named "Amanda" at 2X


I took both ride videos and merged them together and then sped them up X2 so that you can have a quicker experience of riding the city -- it's not a reckless ride, it's just a night ride.

My fuel pump on my 1995 BMW K1100LT was squealing so I thought maybe gassing-up might help it out. Friends told me there are a bunch of gas stations around 10th and 11th Avenue in the 50s so I went off to look. Afterwards, I took a little bit of a joy ride around. I hope you enjoy it -- it's a little slow... I will try to put one together that's double-speed. Let me know what you think. I am not very reckless so I am sorry if you expected "shazam." Highlights include Broadway, Times Square, and 42nd Street -- what a moody, beautiful, night. And then... This video starts after I tried to get more footage of Broadway and 42nd street and Times Square -- but I couldn't really get anywhere interesting so this is just me tooling around in traffic, returning from the 30s back up to where I park, right off of W 72nd right on Riverside Park, including Columbus Circle, Central Park West, and then Broadway on the Upper West Side and then back to West 72nd. I hope you enjoy the ride around.

Riding to Grab Gas in the 50s from the 70s in NYC via K1100LT


Well, here's my first ride video tonight around town. Unfortunately, my Go Pro HD Hero2 wasn't set up right so my video is not widescreen. Oh well, I have it set up right for the next ride, I hope. Anyway, I needed to head out because the fuel pump on my 1995 BMW K1100LT was squealing so I thought maybe gassing-up might help it out. Friends told me there are a bunch of gas stations around 10th and 11th Avenue in the 50s so I went off to look. Afterwards, I took a little bit of a joy ride around.

Drone's eye view of Burning Man 2013


I would love to go but I have a feeling too many people would catch me rolling my eyes all the time.
