I've been using MotionBox for video hosting for a month or so now, with good results. They support HD video, have fast rendering, and allow unlimited storage (and video length, and embeds) for a reasonable flat fee. Their flash player, while having a few warts, is pretty darn good. The video quality is really superb.

To quote a YouTube commenter:

In trying to regain some sense of order in my home video recordings, I've been going through and systematically capturing and archiving some older DV tapes.

The inane, short-sighted, small-minded perspective that it took for so many of the people I share the streets with to say "Yeah, I'm for that. Fuck "those" people!" So sad that we are still so unenlightened.

What prompted this post is the frustration I experienced when I, as an interested prospective customer, tried to research one of their products.

So when your bike's in the shop getting a new transmission, and you find yourself dwelling on the empty whitespace in the garage, you can do what this guy did, to get some use out of your leathers. I can't, though, I'm off to do chores, but I sure know the feeling.

Yesterday I rode from the bay area to southern Oregon with a couple of friends, a roughly ten-hour day that took us through what seemed like every type of weather we could find. I took far too few photos, but here's the tale anyway!
