Thought i'd post the link on here,
here is my YouTube Channel with footage from my rides,
it's around Cardiff and Barry (in Wales, UK),
just random clips mostly.....
also a few friends wanted slow-mo's of Bikes so Motorbikes/Scooters are on there,
another friend in the US asked how many Police Cars/Vans I pass on a ride, so they're on there as well,
so yeah, just random clips and idiots and so on.

I watched the ride in the rain and the one at night. The headlight throws out a nice beam.

JoJo those are absolutely harrowing... slow down girl. I'm going to go ahead and put you on the survivors list now. I watched a couple and found myself hyperventilating! Something is going to jump out at you for sure. Even the country roads are messed up over there, crazy I say, just crazy scary narrow roads and streets.

lol usual 30-40 around here, some being 50... so just keeping to speed limits, for some reason the videos make things look a lot faster, maybe the slight fisheye to it...
as long as you keep your eyes open and busy looking around at every little thing then it's fine :-)

It seems in one of the videos which I watched you only have the rhs mirror (an after market one) on the rhs? Not sure I'd be happy with that for safety reasons.

:-/ think I have 2 different Mirrors on in those Videos, well since having the Camera,
a Carbon one which I had for months and months and used on my previous Bike, but put them on the PCX to replace the horrible stock ones,
and then I bought another set which were chipped etc,
then bought 2 others as didn't know which i'd like best on the Bike...
kept the ones that's on now (in the recent videos) and sold the other pair,
I only have 1 Mirror on, all the ones i've used have been good though...
if you're on about the ones in the older videos (more rectangle) then that's the Carbon one which was really good.

I'm getting a bit addicted to these vids. If I have any free time I'm either out on my pcx or watching videos of you out on yours! I need to sort my life out! Hopefully my New Toy Syndrome will wear off soon!

lol I used to be addicted to, not with PCX's but other Bikers especially certain ones in London, but yeah... got my Camera and thought i'd upload them as obviously other people like to see them as well.

Turkeys? and yeah looked like a Pheasant or something, was bright so couldn't see it that well that's why I stopped, and my 4 year old Nephew always wants to see the footage when I see things in those lanes as usually see Rabbits, Squirrels and Foxes etc when in the Car.

You accelerate when you see one, you know you do.
How did you get a still shot in that instant? I was meaning to ask about your cam but settled in with the Mobius choice.

All my family have Cats, fair enough they try stealing my fish in the Pond but still... like them,
they're just getting too cocky thinking they own the road, but no, dont accelerate when I see them.

and it's just a screenshot from the video, pause.. copy the screen...
and I have the Sony HDR-AS30v :-) nice small Camera with Wifi and GPS.

I remember having an argument with my driving instructor years ago, because I slowed down when a cat ran out in front of me (empty road and I checked the mirrors!). He said I'd fail if I did that on my test, so I said I'd obviously try to avoid running a cat over, even if it meant failing my test. He was weirdly pissed off about it (maybe I'd be affecting his pass rate!). He said I'd be allowed to slow down for a dog, but should just run cats over!

He was kidding :lol: I've had a couple cats, but I can't seem to keep them in the house and my last one was taken by a coyote. The next day (of missing cat) the coyote had the nerve to stand in my yard and ask for more, so I sent my dog out to run him off. They claw everything and aren't very personable but I will try again someday.
