My helmet cam footage hasn't come out so well, the camera was pointing too far down on most of it. I've got a little bit of handheld stuff though.

Hey Eddie saw you guys pass through as I was sipping on a flat white in Martinburger. What a fine bunch.

Good going Marks. Now I know what thetrack looks like.I didn't realise it was so long.

Go Mark, you were the happiest KLRista yesterday!

And now we all know your Jardine exhaust is not loud enough to mask your Austin Powers jivetalk.

Just some misc bits of video from the other bits of the ride. The last half of it is me trying vainly to catch some idiot on an Africa Twin who seems to think he was on a YZ250 - it doesn't show up in the video very well but he was getting the front wheel in the air and getting sideways into corners - it was awesome to watch.

Nice footage Mark, I really should have put the effort in to mount my bullet cam properly. sigh.

**Eddieb** · 24th May 2011, 10:24

Nice Work Mark, what model is your camera again?

**NordieBoy** · 24th May 2011, 10:50

Dunno what model it is but I had to download the vid and rotate it about 15* before I could watch it without falling off my chair...

Not your one. I just pretended my sunnies were fogged up and just listened to it.

guilty as charged - works fine on my mx helmet but the lens (which is taped to reduce dust inhalation) needs rotating a bit for my roady helmet. At least it didn't look like I'd sandpapered my eyeballs like some other footage someone recently posted....

have a look at these photos from our first attempt nearly two years ago - what a nasty mofo of a hill
