When I used the suction mount, I didn't connect it right and it fell off at a busy crossroads. If I didn't have it tethered to the bike I would have lost the camera. Since then, I have been a bit paranoid. Better to be safe than sorry. lol

Oh. And the energizer rechargeable batteries work ok. They don't last as long as the ultimates though. You get about 1h 30m of footage.

It must be the heat. They were shite in the cold.

Yeah!! Fun though :) The B roads after that bit are cool though.

That's the problem having a camera. YouTube only allow a max of 10 minutes per vid. I could spend all weekend cutting up vids. Plus you have to cut out all the bits that may be frowned upon. lol Good fun though.

ah that's a bummer - just trying to upload a 16min vid with yoke view of the clocks, up to 160 on my private road with 1000rpm to go, 120 through some twisties :twisted:
roll on performance is superb, but started to splutter a bit when i gave it beans proper tho- desparately needs fuel pump mod, not getting enough juice when it's ridden hard...
limped home at 60 lol but ran ok once i got it in it's bed.

i'll show you in a bit...
sound settings need altering tho so might have to add a tune.
first time ive filmed through the black screen and tbh you can't tell :thumbup:

agree. i like tank mount best meself, so you can see the clocks, forward view through the screen and also the steering, leaning over etc.
need to have a look at the sound settings on mine - think i had it set on high.
when it's on low you can hear just the engine and pipes :thumbup:

so overall then you think the gopro is a good investment??? :thumbup:
