hey mongo, how did you mount your cam on your bike? i'm thinking of mounting a camera on my bike on the fork lower down, or I could have it on my swing arm for some cool views. I ordered a mini spy cam off ebay for cheap.

Todays ride was shot from Turbo Bobs reverse mount set up (rigged on the non used exaust hanger) on his ZX-1400!



You can pick up a camera mount at http://www.sportbikecam.com/ I copied mine from the one Turbo Bob picked up for his ZRX 1200R!

I have some very talented friends who are machinists!




We rigged the reverse mount camera onto Bob's ZX 1400 using the camera mount for his ZRX 1200 and putting a 3" x 5/16" bolt through the exhaust hanger that he no longer needs!

Where in Socal are you? Those roads here in L.A.? The names aren't ringing any bells but I don't always pay attention to what they call them I just ride them.

I am in West Hills and always looking for some fellow Bandito's.

:sad: I'm trying to download the flv's, but i can't! :taz:
I try to collect all nice, cool, relevant videomaterial i can find.
I have tried the Videodownloader plugin on Firefox, but it seems it's only useful for Youtube specifically...

of course i coud have asked directly for the originals, but i'm shy :roll:  :tongue:

I recently went to a graphics convention in Boston where I saw this tiny video cam that looks like it would be ideal for this stuff. It records directly to a memory card in MPEG4 format, so there' s no tape transport system, something which does not necessarily like bumps and vibrations. It also takes stills at 11 MegaPixel resolution and even plays MP3s if you get bored on the road. Check it out:

I picked up 20 Gig JVC hard disk and it did not get along with the bike at all! It is great for recording the kids Birthday Party but no good on the bike.

The harmonics on the bike freaks out the data transfer, and the hard drive just takes a shit. You also need to be careful with the higher end mini DV's and digital High 8's the optical stabilization will also give you a messed up picture.

I use the JVC Model GR-DR370U in the manual mode and turn off the optical stabilization!

The hard disk units are sensitive, yes, but this is a solid state unit (storage-wise), it records to an SD memory card, there are no moving parts. No tape, no hard drive. It's pretty small, too.

New concept on the Labor Day ride, split screen! I know this would have worked better if the cameras were on the same bike but I'm slower than Bob and the guy on the Gixer and I was just messing with the software!

The latest experiment consisted of mounting both cameras on my bike just to see what happened, this was the result!



The best parts of the ride did not come out due the lens cap on the aft camera flopping in front of the lens the majority of the time!

It was still a good ride with or without the video!
