Hi Vince,

A photo of how its mounted would be good, thanks.

Noticed a couple of posts ago you were talking about transfers/decals, I was given
some from the Honda Collection Hall by the head man when they brought a pile of bikes and
a couple of F1 cars to the UK a couple of years ago.
I don't know if you can buy them at Motegi but I haven't seen them on anything else.
Will send you a photo if you like as I have a few spare.

cheers

Phil

Finally did a 'forward' facing video.

Now I see another reason why I didn't do it this way the first time around - my size 11 boots!

Here are a couple of shots of the setup:

I'm going to see if there's some way to hang the camera out from the passenger peg. Back to the drawing board!

Okay kids - these are my last forays into a budding career as a filmmaker. I managed to put the camera on a pole that extended just beyond my left foot. I had to be careful with left-handed curves, so I took them a bit more gingerly.

Those are great vids Vince! Request: find a straight track and put her thru the revs. nothing like the sound of a 305 hitting 9000 rpm.........

Am I missing something or do you never use 4th gear?. ......lm

I just tried watching these on my laptop while wearing headphones -- try that!

It would also be interesting to do one of these with multiple bikes involved. I just gotta be really careful with this contraption clamped to the bike....it would be quite disastrous if anything loosened up or touched the ground, so that's why I didn't go too nuts in my riding style (not that I do that anyway).
