You bastard.

Jeez you had a good run there.

Is that Les Claypool on the bass in the background?

Wonder what the takas are like at this time of night?

[James Deuce]

John Paul Jones.

[riffer]

Not bloody bad at all.

[paturoa]

who is behind you going gaaaaahhh?

[Deviant Esq]

Nice ride Jim. Cool little vid as well :)

[skelstar]

That was cool Jim. Guess the wind noise and music blocks out the screaming :)

[Trudes]

Cool Jim2, was that you?:rockon:
One day I'll be able to go that fast up there, but I still have this fear of the edges of my lane, too many lunatics in vehicles that drive half on the other side of the road, and that drop on the other side looks harsh! So I'll stick to being a nanna for a bit longer. :scooter:

[Edbear]

Man! I gotta get me one of those! (Bike cam, that is).

[James Deuce]

Sure was me Mrs KD.

Now that's interesting! I have a video camera and was thinking about the bike cams you can get to connect to it, but they're about $595.00! Was considering how to just mount the video camera on the tank...:innocent:

I'll check out the dig cams you mention!

[T.I.E]

good piece of footage, liked the road, where was it?

[Squeak the Rat]

I take it this is the famous hill you lot always go on about?

Nice looking road, nice looking ride, and I must say, nice handling bike ;)

[Wasp]

yes its the hill, that looked a bit old though - there was signs up marking the new wooden barrier on the other side and the surface looked awesome compared to now...

[ceebie13]

Rimutaka Hill Road. Hutt Valley towards Featherson (SH2 Northbound)
Cool vid Jim.

[bistard]

Nice Jim
My only comment would be
"Nothing Illegal here,no,nothing to see,move along"
Must catch up for that coffee!!

[jumma]

Good stuff Jim. Was good to see the whole climb in one continuous video!

[judecatmad]

Woo hoo! That was FUN!!!!

So that's what it feels like to do the hill at more than 30! LOL. Normally takes me about 20 minutes to get to the top!!! :rofl:

Thanks for the cool ride!

Hey Jude,Im sure theres a song it that somewhere
If you want to go faster over the hill,just do your own video,play it back & fast forward it easy & safe!!

[Swoop]

Damn nice!
There seemed to be a large amount of traffic about for a Sunday morning! Especially passing-lane blockers...

LOL, handy tip of the day # 643!

Think I prefer Jim's vid to any that I could do - the corners are spectacular (well, when compared with my 'ohmigod, ohmigod, there's a corner, slow down' type riding :rofl: And the ginny's not really the right machine for getting one's knee down in any case! Oh, and I'm not allowed to ride at the mo, of course :( *sigh*)

[James Deuce]

It's from about March last year.

[ManDownUnder]

YEAH BABY!

Mate that rocked. The last minute or so was very nice, clear run... felt like I was in the pilot's seat.

Gotta get me down there sometime on the RF me thinks...

[Juud]

Great vid Jim! Makes me wish they'd extend that road another 20k's or so, it's way to short.


And the ginny's not really the right machine for getting one's knee down in any case!

Maybe not a knee but a boot? Lissa? (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showpost.php?p=933087&postcount=7)

Edbear - Digital still camera with MPEG capability



You used?
What size memory card did you use?!

Nice vid Jimbo.

[James Deuce]

Sony DSCP8, which does 640x480 movies, and a 128MB memory stick.

[Biff]

Holy crapamolie - I would never have guessed you'd have managed to squeeze that footage onto 128Meg stick. Rispek.

[Wasp]

Holy crapamolie - I would never have guessed you'd have managed to squeeze that footage onto 128Meg stick. Rispek.
My new still camera takes 7.8 megapixel 3000x2000 pixels photos and they end up as 1mb jpegs.... even im amazed, horay for asains!

makes the 2gb mem stick that came with it seem pointless

Have you seen this thread: Oregon Camera (Bike Cam) (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=40489)

It looks like a cheap option for a bike cam. Then there's also spycams and surveilance cameras on trademe that might do the job if plugged into the A/V in on a video camera.

I don't know how well they work though.

[Fatjim]

Jim, there's absolutely no excuse not to be braking from 200+ going into that first corner! Also, tighten those lines up! I thought that 750 could turn laddy?



PS, good video, when was it? I see they've removed the bit of wooden post on the apex of the left hander after the second passing lane.

[XP@]

Nice lines, nice vid.

[Lissa]

That was awesome.. cheers Jim2. So thats how you pass cars on the hill.... scary. Oneday I'll ride over at that speed. :) When I get my new bike.

[Skunk Control]

Very nice ride, just the thing i needed sitting at my desk looking out the window.....

[Coyote]

One day when I have good tyres and good suspension I hope to be able to do that

I leant that far the other day on a wet patch and fell over. And before them hitting a bump on the road at full tilt sent me flying. I've turned into a Nana rider now

Is there anything cheaper you could get that can record video using one of those cameras?

[BarBender]

What is the music Jim?
The rhythm section is tight as!!!

[James Deuce]

That's the track "Zooma", from John Paul Jones' solo album of 2000, called "Zooma".

Maybe something like this:
http://www.trademe.co.nz/Electronics-photography/Portable-audio-iPods/MP3-players/512MB-under/auction-87683822.htm

It says it can record AV-in so it should be able to record from those cameras. The cameras would still need a power source though. I don't know what resolution, framerate or quality it'd give you.

I haven't tried any of this stuff myself, it's just something I've been thinking about but don't have the cash to see if it'll work.

Interesting. Still seems like a bit much

Ideally I'd have something that was just between the camera and a flash drive. Surely there's something simple like that out there. Doesn't have to have a screen or other fancy stuff. I'll have a look on the interweb

[Maha]

Have seen a few vids on here of late but that one is by far the best...sounds give it an edge and i like the 'Wheeeeee' towards the end, guys dont really say that do they? while cornering?... i give it the Tim Taylor seal of approval......Arrrrrrghh Arrrrrrghh....:Punk:
