Another highway lane switch - into me

[Rhys]

I like the idea of you riding with a camera. How did you mount it to the bike?

I am interested in the camera set up would come in very handy at times, how much rec time does it have and how expensive?

Thing is about cars , they are bigger , and if used correctly usually win

though on the other hand , we have magical powers that can completely annihilate those monsters

and after , umpteen years of using these magic powers, I have yet to find myself in a difficult nay impossible situation

Willy you better start watching out for your local politician in case they also drive like this.

A furious Auckland mum has complained to the Prime Minister and police after an "abusive and degrading" driving incident involving National MP Tau Henare. Cicelia Holliday told the Herald she was "absolutely gobsmacked

She said she was driving with her 12-year-old daughter along Ash St in Avondale just after 10.30am last Thursday when a car in the lane beside her suddenly pulled in front of her without indicating the lane change.

"He started going on about 'what happened to common courtesy' ... repeatedly talking over me when I tried to ask him why he hadn't indicated his intention to move across the lane in front of me

I just love the way in this case he thought he was right. I guess that's politicians for you

Because loud pipes don't save lives

Oh its not the exhaust that are that loud....its the Guzzi Motor & Gearbox
-I don't have overly loud pipes...Its just a "Big rumbly" noise

So did said 4X4 driver get nailed in court?

Unfortunatly never made it that far scummy , happened so quick I barely managed to get the colour of the 4x4, but unfortunatly not the make, model or #plate.
.....I found it hard to focus on the #plate while hanging off the side of the bike @90k with a dislocated shoulder during a tank slap on the grass medium.
I did call the central station to try and report it, they were very nice to deal with, but advised there wasn't much they could do with the little info I had.

Just glad it didn't turn out far worse to be honest (was a week before my son Ryders 1st b-day.....it really shook the missis up)

Hi Rhys
I use a Tachyon XC camera (cost me $100), its not the best for sound or low light pics etc, but its shock & water proof.(handy in winter etc)
8g SDHC card gives me +2hrs recording.
I just use some 3m Duallock (velcro on steroids) on a mount for the left clipon/tripple tree and have some 3m duallock on the top off my helmet as well, so I can use either the bike or my head for a mount.
I usually always ride with a camera to catch some nice rides etc, but mainly its for "just in case" situations (like this one...comes in handy), and to review my own ride lines/choices etc.
Highly recommend getting one
