Rich and Rico grill Jon about his mountain trip with the MotoNobodies. The weekend trip for Jon was about 850 miles. The group was made up of the following moto vloggers:Cruiser BrewserAmp'd MotoRouge MogulMatthew WilliamsWolfSPDFNTK (Jon) - Jon has done a video about the Loud Pipes Podcast. Jon has fixed the video as it was pointed out at the 6 minute mark the spyder engine was louder than Jon.The group had a hard time getting all connected with Senas and figured out after the trip that the Sena BackPack that was used to capture audio to GoPro cameras maxes out at 3-4 riders. Another lesson learned from trip is that the night before, sit down (generally while drinking) and pair the units. Looks like the sena 30k will be using 2.4 GHz Adaptive Mesh-Networking Technology. The reviews said it will be easier to pair up units and we'll update if we get a chance to test it. Check out the Wheels Through Time Museum and Dales Channel for some great video on restoration and all the bikes at the museumEVENTS:OBX bike week - April 22 - 30. Look for Dave Shupe and he'll buy the first Loud Pipes fan lunch plus he'll have some show swag to give out.
