    Do you think it is possible if I want to change my goretex jacket that was blue to white, and how do I see that there is no white dye from the rit brand itself😔

    Changing to White could be tricky, especially if there is no white dye option.

    I'm confused how this crossing hydrolocked the bike? Normally you would have to submerge your air filter/airbox to suck in water. That crossing was not particularly deep.

    Good questions and I'm not sure about how the colors you're working with will affect the dying process. It makes sense that it could be tough to get a neon color to pop if you're using a darker color. I wish you the best and thanks for watching!

    Hello mate. Great video thank you. I am currently filming lots of short films using an old i-phone with the Moondog anamorphic lens which is amazing when on a budget. But I was gifted a GoPro hero 4 last week which is great.. but I have no idea what to do with it yet? But it's small size has me excited! But when I tried to film one of my miniatures it was SO fish-eye it was just awful... Impossible to watch. But I noticed if I selected Linear it worked great for action that was close to the lens.

    Thanks Paul, glad you enjoyed it. There are pros and cons to riding the TAT on a big or a small bike. The biggest worry I had was to be in a situation that I couldn't lift the bike up by myself. This never happened to me, but in a few muddy spots I was scared I'd drop it and not be able to get good footing to pick it up as I was riding alone. I don't regret using my big bike at all. I hope this helps and hope you enjoy your trip!
