    Jeff....I don't have a good answer about adding Sea Foam to the Nitro Fuel but..... unless its really expensive....I wouldn't take the chance. I'm trying to understand how anyone living in "Ringneck Pheasant Heaven" could go "Crazy" especially this time of year?

    I found this on the Drift site..........this should take care of your problems.....This accessory has been available since Oct. 18 2011...I did not see a price. Drift HD LED Cable - Connects to the rear of the camera, and ensures the user can see if the camera is on or off, even when the camera is out off sight. The LED emits an Ultra Red colour that has two distinctive levels of brightness. A less intense lighting to indicate the camera is on, and then a very intense lighting to indicate the camera is in record mode. Length: 1m

    Rick..... does your Go Pro have a remote without buying the accessory Wi-Fi back? After using the $20 small spy camera that someone mentioned earlier this year on VR......which produced impressive videos for the price,..I seemed to have a lot of unintresting video of riding mile(s) in areas without scenic mountains, streams, overlooks and other favored subjects.... that could be edited out during the ride with a remote, thus conserving memory and battery.... Joe...a good find!! I searched the Contour website and didn't find the 1300 HD ...sooo is the 1300 being phased out or did I miss it? One thing for sure....the $99 price is super great for a HD Video camera that small! Fred

    The Go Pro website didn't really go into detail on the Hero 2 as far as weight and dimensions.....and I think the only way you get a remote is with the extra purchase of a wi-fi back... not sure...I'll look more. I prefer the Go Pro videos on You Tube and like the 11MP still pics that the Hero 2 offers.........but the led screen, remote and aerodynamics of the Drift are the big 3 for me. Technology doesn't set idle very long.....but the big difference between the new HD and your HD 170....I think is new is +$20, 1 inch shorter, weighs .63 ounce less and has + 4 MP on the still pics.?? Probably someone like Myself or Condor would be more than willing to assist you in giving that ole Drift HD 170 a little TLC .....if you were to buy the newer Drift HD..

    Golf & Venture....I appreciate your reply and information. I bought and used one of the $16 small spy cameras and was actually impressed with the results after mounting it on the helmet. The angle of view is much narrower than the 170 degrees of the Drift and that combined with the poor mounting bracket, also being on top of the helmet to absorb all the wind didn't help the quality......but like I said....for $16 I was surprised with the video results. I want a camera that will produce video clips of rides between points of interest, meets, overlooks and etc. with quality compared to the still pics I do with my Nikon coolpix P 300 ( 12 MP). I think a mix of video clips along with still pics would be more interesting than just a video. I want to use audio recordings that I have made at different "Jam Sessions" I've played ....so the internal mic being muffeled is not a problem for my plans. I may want to hear the bike a few times while going up through the gears but ....not interested in hearing the "WHINE". I read that Drift has a new camera that does 9MP stills and is somewhat smaller than the 170....I think Drift HD Action? Golf & Venture have you used your 170 until the battery was discharged and if so...how long did the batt. last? I don't plan to buy until Jan...Feb...hoping something will come along thats smaller/better before then.....but the Drift Action looks OK.

    After reading many articles on the Go Pro Hero and Drift HD 170 cameras, has anyone used the Drift HD 170 and if so, I would like to know the Pros and Cons in your opinion. I read the posts here on VR about the Go Pro but think I like the aerodynamics, viewing screen, controls and remote on the Drift maybe a little better...but not sure......sooo help me decide .... THANKS ... Freddie

    Dan....Its gettin a little late in the season for buildin "Garages N Stuff" which gets me to thinking......and sometimes thats not good....but.. If there is something you want to do to your bike....bring it over to my garage for the winter. While its here, maybe I can see for myself..how much faster a 2nd Gen is.......compared to a 1st. We can work on your bike any time you want.....the only thing I ask......."Don't Be Lookin In Venturerider Classifieds":no-no-no:

    Dennis.. theres a B vitiman extract? "NIACINAMIDE".....You might want to Goggle and enjoy the coffee while you read....(maybe you already have). A lot of studies have been done over the years and one just finished this spring at Irvine. The studies lead one to believe it does a pretty good job with "Arthritis".......don't know if that is part of your problem or not? I have been taking the "NIACINAMIDE" supplement for 6 weeks now......BUTT....."I try not to recommend nor discourage the use of a product until I can personally attest the results myself", to do so would make me a smaller man.( at 245lb that might not be bad for me ) A pretty day in the makin....Ridin to do...."I Hear The Mountains Calling Me" Freddie

    Randy....Been keeping up with your posts....keep that "Positive Attitude" and everything will be fine my friend. If you convince Dan a "Group Garage Raising" is in order...bring along Lil Venturous......A squared + B squared = C squared with the help of your level eye ....... and I would not be afraid to bet that Dan will share one of his Treasured Secret Rides thats not far from "The Garage To Be" Freddie
