I wouldn't say thats showing off at all. I'd say thats a brit having a stupid moment and forgetting they ride on the wrong side of the road. Why else would you think to go on the inside going round a blind bend. Even showing off for a camera, I don't see how that makes you look big and or clever, if the situation was the same here, going on the wrong side of the road would have easily been acceptable(well not acceptable but understandable) to open up the view of the bend.

I saw that video ages ago. Bloody idiot.

I don't think it's dangerous. I want to be able to record my riding so I can watch it at a later date and then see what I am doing. And see if it's good or bad.

But then I might want to record other things Shifty

Bit paranoid about it myself, As said you might ride a bit more erratically - If you landed in a spot of bother (i.e. getting carted off in an ambulance *gulp*) theres hard evidence against you sitting on the bike.

Actually if it were possible I'd like to have a camera fitted to bike and car permanently to keep a record in case I got into an accident. I'd have no problem admitting fault in any case, but if the accident was not my fault at least I'd have some evidence.

If I ever fit a camera to the Blade then it will be a bullet cam under the headlight to my digi camcorder foam packed in the seat unit. It means it's a pain to start and stop recording but at least a crash wouldn't present easy evidence to the plod.

Also there won't be any speedo evidence, although all it would take is a copper with a stopwatch.

Cheers

My friend got a Panda as a courtesy car when his brother crashed the Audi A2. Cream yellow and semi-automatic. Fucking disgusting and the worst car I have ever been on. Sick

It's not the 4WD version but fuck me is it shit.
