Total Cost of Go Pro Hero3 Black

November 19, 2013 by thebeantownbaggers

After reading the review of the Go Pro Hero3 Black, you’re likely ready to go out and buy one. Questions you’ll have are: How much is it going to cost? What accessories should I buy with the camera? What doesn’t come in the box? What else will improve the camera usability? The original price for the camera is $399 but we found a factory refurbished one on Amazon for $329. With that said, we would rather support the local shops […]

Bagger Accessories | Action Cams – GoPro

November 16, 2013 by TheTravelWriter

In recent years, action cameras seem to have made a comeback. Due in large part to the phenomenal marketing of GoPro showing how versatile their product is through incredible footage shot with extreme pro-athletes in their element. Given we have been using some of these products and feel the technology is finally worth buying into we are highlighting top products. These will set you back, but the price points are no different than a good headlight trim or set of […]

Toughen up and Ride – It’s not snowing yet!

October 21, 2013 by Road Captain

Winter riding is upon us and every year it seems that more of us New Englanders push the riding season a few weeks later than the previous year. It could be that we’re getting tougher. Potentially it is due to the amount we spend on our sleds and desire to extract as much value as possible. It’s also likely that we’re just better prepared for cold weather riding than in past years. [Much more below] Long gone are the days […]

Ride planning Tool

July 25, 2013 by Road Captain

I’ve used a number of tools to plan rides in the past and some are better than others. The elements for a good ride planning application are: ability to upload images from mobile collaboration tools to receive contributions from other riders in my group check lists to keep track of packing items and destinations ability to import maps public and private switch. Some things I’ll share with the world and others should just be for my group to see potential […]

First Thoughts: 120R HD Crate Motor

May 10, 2013 by TheTravelWriter

Taking the bike on the road after this install is like the first cycle of andro…not that I’d know! Inside you’re amazed and maybe a bit shocked, but to the outside world you’re confident as hell, so much so that it wouldn’t be weird at all to have steam firing out your nose. It’s an experience – the new motor that is. I’d need a dual degree in art history and literature as well as a soap box to properly […]

The First Ride of 2013

March 18, 2013 by Road Captain

It’s mid-March and for the past four months I’ve been excited to get on the horse and log some miles. Unlike last winter where most New England riders were able to put a few thousand miles on their vtwins, this year’s winter has been slightly more unforgiving. Snow has been a constant and we expect more on the day after tomorrow. There was no way I could wait for another dumping with the added benefit of more salt/sand to get […]

Jvc Adixxion Camera

March 18, 2013 by Road Captain

No, we’re not changing to become a tech review or gadget site but since this camera is built for action sports, it seems appropriate to do a review for other bikers. I have used the Go Pro Hero 2 in the past and only decided to change because the memory card in the Go Pro shit the bed on a Sturgis ride last year. Maybe I should’ve picked up a new card (and maybe I will) but there were three […]

A slippery slope

March 10, 2013 by Road Captain

Taking a stock motorcycle and customizing it has become a right of passage for bikers. We put our own stamp on the machine. It becomes unique – personalized – ours. The options are endless and ideas provided by other bikers, magazines and ebay. It’s no longer a question of “if” you’re going to customize your bike but what you’re going to do first and how long you’re going to take it. Where do you start? Most people like much of […]
