Default Some nice roads near my home

Just got a camera mount for my bike and a new camera. I thought I would share some videos I made while out riding here in Korea last weekend. These are some roads about 25-35 minutes (depending on traffic) from my house.

That really is a great quality video. Very clear and not too much wind noise. Are you doing anything to block the wind on it other than the fact it's behind the windscreen ? From a maintenance standpoint it's time to flush your brake fluid, it's looking kinda brown.

Had a question. At 5:25 into part 2 it appears the the back end slides a little. Was that from the water a few curves back, or was something in the road ?

Yeah, I really do need to get around to replacing the brake fluid.

That camera was a sony HDR XR100. Its got a great mic, and shoots in 5.1 surround sound too. I didn't do anything to it to block the wind. The mount was just the cheapest one on ebay, I think its made by the seller named moerselekker.

The instability at 5:25 was caused by slamming the foot-peg into the ground. Its hard to see how much of a hill that is in the video but it was pretty steep. The camber of that curve combined with the decline of the hill reduced cornering clearance more than I expected. It actually wasn't as out of control as it looks though but it sure got my heart beating.

Oh and thanks for the compliments
