    Why we ride, one riders perspective.

    I really appreciate the cinematography of this one.

    I haven't been able to ride for 4 months, probably another couple to go. I got to about 6.5 minutes and couldn't take anymore classical music with undertones of farty single, shakey camera and close ups of letting clutch out veeerry slowly.

    Never got to the point of why we ride.
    Is it for the biscuits?

    And his mirrors are upside down.

    My head hurt after the first couple of minutes of that.

    That's what you see when you don't turn your head and looks through corners.

    My thoughts at first were, what totally shit lines lol
    Then I moved on to thinking he videoed that part from the inside of the car as there appears to be zero lean angle.

    Possibly a camera with horizon stabilisation, even the latest GoPro with this setting I've found to be slow to turn in corners.

    Quite some years. Few blast from the past names.
    Seemed a bit flaky at first, then the further I read the more I agreed. Could not have put in print any better.

    Another part of what made me wonder if it was shot from a car comes back to my initial thoughts of shit lines. I could not understand, why traveling on a left hand road system would he constantly Hug the centre line on left hand corners. I just had another look and there is very little arcing that you would expect from a motorcycle - but I also noticed that on the occasional tight left it did look like the camera was quite close to the left hand side of the road - so.....dunno!

    This reminds me that we don't realise how good Noralee of Itchy Boots is, until we see the efforts of others. Some guys with helmet cams move their heads so violently I feel I'm going to be thrown out of my chair. This is somewhat similar.
