Sorry, chaps by the time I got my bike running (flat battery) too late to meet up - went for a bimble around East Devon instead.

Only Tom, Ross (Sonic GSX-R) turned up. Quiet but cold ride. Road were unpredictable with slipper patches here and there.

Well Sue and I went for a spin down to Looe, and it was a bit chilly, but it was nice to try out the new Lid

We must have crossed somewhere - I went for a spin down to Chudleigh Knighton and back up the Teign Valley road ......... quite treacherous in places, very unpredictable surfaces though probably partly my fault as the bike still has a pair of Pilot Race H2's fitted and they look more like cut slicks

Tried out my Vid-Cam mount ....... think I'll have to re-fit the clear screen. It shoots OK through the black one, but the sides/top are bleached and the reflection of the rev counter is annoying. Now to find a "best value" setting for downloading and a freebie vid hosting site

are you using a standard camcorder as i have been using a separate 'bullet camera' mounted on the fairing feeding back to a camcorder in a bumbag. the results are pretty awesome!

Fantastic ride out again. Cheers guys. Bit knackered as I've had a hectic few days but 15 minutes in to the ride and I couldnt get the grin off my face. Roads were a bit slippy in places but that just serves to focus the mind and make you smooth. Roll on the summer!

This is what I use

http://www.sony.co.uk/ShowProduct.do?si ... =DCR-HC40E

It gives a very good, steady shot but suffers from having to shoot through a black screen. I like the idea of the remote cam, but at the moment have other mony priorities

An easy fix is to cut down and fit the original clear screen I have

Putfile.com is good for hosting video files, signup and you'll get 25MB per file worth, Should give you a easy 10mins at watchable quailty.

I use Windows Movie Maker with 512k Broadband quailty, Works well.

Just tape your mobile on the front and bore your mates down the pub like I do.
