You're crazy going 100 plus on those roads, especially when its wet. Way too many entry points for vehicles to pull out in front of you. Even I wouldn't be expecting anything to approach me at that rate of speed. R.I.P.

I can't wait tell Defyinertia see this!!!
good quality camera though, I want to get one to record my rides also. I want to mount it on the bars to get a view of the speedo. what type of mounts came with your camera?

nothing that would work on our bars. but there is a good few.

i am goingto make a mount that will do just that.

I made a camera mount for a small handicam camcorder that used a hose clamp to hold it to the bars. it worked but the video was very shakey because of the weight of the camera. I want to find a camera that doesn't weigh a ton that doesn't cost too much.

nice video, it looks good in the sunny weather other than it puts a black spot over the sun. but good video, no vibrations, and decent sound (not all wind)

Nice vid, very stable camera, I'm impressed with the set up.
without sounding boring watch yourself, It's fine when there aren't any side roads etc, but you obviously know the roads in your neck of the woods.
Looking forward to other vids

Nice quality video you just need to edit out the boring parts.

+1

Crazy, selfish, call it what you want most all of us have done it at some point (usually as a newb) but many of us have realized how stupid this is before something bad happened. Time for the track!
