Anything to do with vid camera mounting on your ride or good info on the subject or vids that exist already online ..
Vids that you have already made also :-)

Youtube Vid
God bless you MrChips. That vid was great!!! I was right there with you and the music fit so perfect. Nice to see green trees instead of desert, but I do like long views so the desert is were I am staying.
I need to learn how to do that video stuff. There are some long roads out here in the desert and a video of out and out speed might just do you all some blood pumping exercise!
I enjoyed the ride on your CBR1000F brother..

real good mate ...the soothing music worked well too..May I ask how large that vid file was in KB / Megs? ..
I have been playing around here with a bracket for my video cam, to fit the bars of my CBR, so I can take a few of those vids as well ...
again , that was a ripper ... I played it 3 times

Thanks guys, i'm glad you liked it. I'm planning on making a few more of these vids to capture some local rides. I will be changing the camera location though.
Classic, I shot the vid on my wifes digital Camera (if only she new ! he,he). I converted the vid to a 76 MB FLV file @ 720 x 540 pixels. Anything better than 480 x 360 pixels can be watched in the High Quality (HQ) setting on youtube.
fwiw, be carefull mounting your vidcam, I read somewhere that vidcam internals can get a bit rattled when mounted to a bike, something to do with vibrations.
Look forward to posting some more rides

Thanks for the info Chips ...
I was going to head mount my cam a while ago , but decided to start to make a fully soft padded holder for it and fix the holder to the bike ....I just never got around to finishing it
Did you fix your cam to yourself ? or did a passenger help you ...?
Yer , sorry for all the questions mate , but you did a neat job and I am curious as to how you did it ...

Great vid Mr Chips! If I lived a bit closer I'd have been on your tail , great rout and no traffic for the most part!!
For me , the straits , at best are an opportunity to over-take slower moving traffic and really just the shortest distance between great curves

Plumber's motorcycle camera mounting method
Steve, here is how plumbers mount a camera on a motorcycle!

But of course, being a plumber things may end up a little backwards on completion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKZEN0Nqd-g&NR=1
God love ya Steve..

swisherred, sorry for highjacking your thread.
Classic, no probs.... the camera is actually tucked away inconspicuously inside a small black padded camera pouch resting just below my jacket collar, you can actually see it in the mirror in the vid.
I made a few MacGyver type mods to it with a shoelace & some Velcro (using a pocket knife of course) so it sits securely.
I'm going to try a different set up tho, will tell if successfull.
