Re: Being 'high' while driving

... with thumbs just at 9:30. What do you mean? Lots of drivers have the seat poorly adjusted. Wanting to have the seat reclined and too low. Watch and see how many people are either trying to drive with almost straight arms, or due to being short and cars being designed for your average adult, the...

Re: A few more videos

Suffolk County Council asked if they could use a couple of my videos on their stand at the Copdock Bike Show yesterday.

I was happy to supply the videos with suitable branding added :)

Re: A few more videos


Testing out a new camera mount on the bike. Today the ride is along the main A12 heading north from Ipswich towards Yarmouth, looking at the multiple speed limit changes and the types of roads that make up the A12.

Re: A few more videos

Thanks for the feedback. Yes I may shorten the intro, though not the next one as it is already edited. ;) It's getting a balance with trying to make your own content yours and memorable vs wanting to get straight to the content ;) Different camera mount in the next one. The screen being in the way i...

Re: A few more videos

Horse, currently the camera is mounted on the side of my helmet at chin bar height. It can't go any higher due to the visor mechanism (the Schubert has no side plates to reduce wind noise) and it can't go on top (like a Teletubby :) ) due to it being a flip helmet.

Re: A few more videos

Looks easy! ;) Bit distracting with that plastic screen thingy distorting the view. Nice straight-lining bit - the RoADAR FB examiners haven't seen it yet! My eyes are 4-5 inches higher than the camera so see over the screen. What I may do in the next video I record (I already have another one I'm ...

Re: A few more videos

Filmed this morning. A demo ride / vlog on a sunny Sunday morning in Suffolk, taking in the forest of Rendlesham, on a journey from Melton to Orford. This is a straight copy from the camera, with no editing apart from the intro/outro. I lowered the camera one more notch for this ride, but I think it...

Re: Phone use (again )

Phone conversations, hands free or not, pale in to insignificance compared to the numbers texting and interacting via onscreen keyboards (phone, tablet, manufacturer built in) with social media. Ride a motorcycle and you can see just how widespread this is. Hiding it in their lap does little to hide...

Re: Tyres fitted to front or rear

I was always a best on the front man until a long discussion on the old IAM Forum and some online reading. Now I get the newest put on the rear ... even if I have to argue the case with a dealer. Have had similar 'discussions' with my dealer when they rotated and muddled the tyres up despite advice ...
