No comment from me other than yuk! at the music :vomit:

Oh, and lol at the following rider saying "this is the best view" while positioning himself where he could see absolutely nothing except your rear view!

Just something selected from the non-copyright sources. Have now got a mic that doesn't suffer from wind roar, so you can hear the engine/road noise.

Some were discussing earlier the possibility of a camera not giving a true view. In this case, as I said, it was below the headlight of a KTM. A KTM is a road bike you need a ladder to get on (emphasis used for to make a point ;) ). He could easily see over me. (PS. He's a 6ft+ police motorcyclist ;) )

Being a police officer doesn't give super-sight, and saying something doesn't make it right ;)
Your 'standard' is how you drive alone, not how you drive during a test.

Nobody said it did. The camera's view was severely restricted by being so low, plus the commentator being on a tall bike with a tall rider, means I am more than happy he could see over me and that what he said about the view ahead being clear he had seen. In fact if you watch he even moves out a fraction before I do.
