I videoed to and from work yesterday. I am pretty pleased with the results, especially the return journey in the dark. The sound has a crackle to it, but you can still hear the engine. The one issue is that even though the image is stable, I don't think the quality is good enough to capture car reg numbers unless they are right in front of you. Can anyone suggest some simple editing software? Is there a way of deleting what is on the memory card without having to download it onto the computer first? -
I have got the same one as crowther. It is mounted to the rubber bottom of the o/s wingmirror. A quick test finds it works fine and downloading to the videos is easy. Next is to use it on a run and see how it copes with that. I am not sure about waterproofness as the plastic lens cover moves and looks like it would let water in.

Thanks Deso, but I am tiny big bit bigger

I voted non 1 because we recently paid off our mortgage and what a difference that has made. We can now afford similar things to the rest of your list and I am rapidly saving for my next bike and we are off abroad to see relatives next month.
-
I see, of course there is ample space to slide. Ah well, back to the drawing board.

I read Ride a lot, but have not seen any such tests. I assumed with CE armour all suits are much of a muchness and the price variation is in waterproofing, windproofing, longetivity, image etc, not safety.
-
Thanks for the replies. I am surprised, there are surely qualities to leathers and so a good textile suit will beat a bad leather one when it comes to a crash.

It was so good I am going back down in August sometime.

My mate lives near Knockhill, so I have been thinking about going for a track day. I know I have a KLE500, but thats not the point, I want a go and do not mind being the one overtaken all the time. But reading the terms and conditions it states regarding clothing "...along with a full piece leather suit or 2 piece leather suit that zips the full way around your waist and back." Is that standard? To do a track day is armoured textiles not considered good enough?

If you do send us a PM and I'll try and join you.

Well done Rushwind. My next attempt to do the final up north tags is at the end of July.
-
But I want to do it, thats the whole point, I am learning something new and enjoying myself
-
Well done

I thought what would come with the kit is a split link http://www.cjaccessories.co.uk/images/P/sp.web.jpg which you just push together. No riveting needed.
-
Au contraire motorcycle chains are not rubbish. As for my "...are rubbish threads" that is just the eyecatching title to what I really mean by "can be improved"
-
So I need a chain splitter and a Haynes manual. Simples, surely You guys don't appear to have much confidence in my ability to do this job myself
-
My next job is to replace my chain and sprokets. So to do that 1 - I cannot find the split link, so how do I best get the chain off? 2 - Do I need to have a specific torque when re-tightening the bolts holding the sprokets? 3 - Anything else you think I should know? I have seen some good You Tube videos on generally changing the chain, but the above I am not so sure about. This is what I will replace it with http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Kawasaki-KLE5 ... 20bf836b5a

"> Qualities not too bad, but will do for insurance purposes. Sound is ridiculous, bike sounds like a jet. edit - battery should last 3 hours, haven't tested this. Good enough for me. I want it for safety not making videos of my latest trip.
-
Daft questions, do I need to by a memory card or does it come with one? When the card is full is it easy to delete what is there and start again? I can delete my cameras memory card in seconds without having to plug it into anything.

Tuesday I am going to go down to the Galloway Forrest to do the two forest drives, if anyone else is about and fancies a run with a difference. http://www.forestry.gov.uk/website/recr ... restDrives

Have a lovely time with your sun shine and please take lots of photos
-
That is superb Ed, though I did think you were living up to your nickname till I saw it was at 2x speed! I am going to take a hit for the forum and get and review the waterproof one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/220768087550? ... 1438.l2649

Glad to see you did not miss out what many do by skipping over the lowlands and heading for the Highlands.

Some advice needed ?
Throttled replied to new002's topic in CBT, Test and Advanced Training Information
I would have though buying a 125cc is more expensive that doing the DAS I went the most expensive way and did both, but it meant I was on the road quicker with my 125cc on L Plates as I then did the DAS as well. -
Exactly that. I can't see it being a problem. Maybe head down to a garage that does MOT's and just say is this legal? Or head to your local cop shop and ask. I know cops can be total dicks sometimes but they do usually help you out if your polite about it. I would suggest the MOT garage over the police, it is a pretty technical question that is about positioning of the lights etc.
