Good thing no one rode with me I finally made it to key west at midnight on the trailer.

I went back and watched my gopro video and a few seconds after I hit a great big bird i stopped and the gimbal was broke. I will post the video when I find Internet connection. I'm going to have to do some figuring to see how much resistance the bird could have put against the drive? The bird in air being thrown at the drive would not do anything but down in the water it may have acted like a wall due to its surface area?

Wow, close call. In the cat or the Glad? If the Glad and a Bravo, you may be onto something.

In Jim's 35 cig cafe. I have watched the video a few more times and done more thinking, it probably broke the gimbal when I jerked the wheel to try to miss the bird.
