That's good quality...my helmet cam goes all pixelated when you go too fast.

But be warned. I was leading a group one Sunday & the bloke at the back had an accident & died. One of the questions that I was asked was if I had a camera...'yes of course I have' was my answer. 'Where on the bike is it?'...asked plod. 'It's not on the bike...it's in my pocket!' I think that they wanted to see any footage that I had in case they could use it as evidence against me, even though the cause of the fatality was nothing to do with speed.

You have to be aware that the plod watch utube and scan the net for videos of people doing speed and wheelies and stuff so they can nail you.

They love all this kind of stuff because they dont even have to get off their arses to get evidence.

Be careful. :nod:

thats the only piece of footage going on the tube as i couldn't get it to load up on imageshack.

that road used to be so nice, now its bumpy as hell :(

i had it mounted via the elasticated strap on my helmet but my frosted screen kept getting in the way and you could see the speedo so now it will be attached to the front of the bike via velcro as it was in the clip, much clearer and less bumpy plus you get the feel of the corners :D

Roll on track evening at cadwell on saturday :D :D :ninja:
