Video of a Night Ride on a ST1300....
« on: January 25, 2013, 02:25:07 PM »
Went out on the bike at night a couple of weeks ago to see what it looks like from the cam's point of view.


It's come up OK considering the cam wasn't designed specifically for this.


The original footage is much brighter though, and you can see a lot further down the road - must've mucked up the contrast/brightness thingy along the way - you'll get the idea though.


I played around with a few different mount angles along the way.

Well done.  Interesting variations.  How long for the change between mounts?
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Thanks for that Diesel,

Great footage.  It also shows how much work the front forks do, may be time to change the fork oil etc on my bike.

Cheers
