More interesting stuff from the land down under and some of their "friendly" creatures...

Missing you Dave. Hope you decompress soon.

Test with external audio, synced after... I used my phone to record audio. Maybe if money goes well I will get a proper digital recorder.

WallyWorld, a.k.a. Wal-Mart, actually started carrying a "Dash Cam" and even featured it by putting it in one of their weekly fliers. I had shopped their clearance section and was wandering around the store and saw it. It is amazing the things people wear or don't wear when running out to WallyWorld. It is a world unlike any other.
ANYWAY, they are selling it for $39.99 and it writes AVI files if I recall correctly. No telling the quality of the CCD. 1080p supposedly but don't recall the exact specs. Probably would do far better by buying one of Dave's recommendation for around $100 US, problem is the knock-offs are out there so you have to sort out those when buying as well as getting the version with the features you are going to use.  They make them with WiFi sync and without as well as various resolutions in image capabilities....older version I would imagine.  They are mimicking the path that the GoPro has developed.  Imitation being the ultimate form of flattery and corporate warfare to steal sales.

Time to cut the grass...before storms set in the next several days.

I viewed on my phone, was it a doe and fawn? Thought I saw two cross and much smaller 2nd crossing.   Mom's teaching bad habit on a busy roadways....I guess it is not feasible to cross without traffic.  Wrong time if day to be active but better visibility for tge drivers at least. Let's hope they both survive well.

Yep, doe and fawn. The fawn was about the size of a beagle.

I was spying some vid that Dave had on his you tube and in one Stu had taken a spill
Hopefully he'll be ok, wasn't far from a stop in a roundabout and the bike was down and their group was converging to his location.

If you are lurking Dave, miss ya man.

I met up with Dave a couple of weeks ago at the Laverda Concours down at Cleveland. Was good to see him, it's been ages. I've been gone from here for a while myself.
It reminded me of a video I did, don't remember if I posted it here or not so here it is. Camera is junk. I might get it to work better in time.

They can only get better from here.</p>

Close Owen, just lacking funds mate, money is real tight. I have almost everything I need to build 2 of the bikes, just lacking funds for some work I need done on the frame and disposable parts like tires and such.., its getting there though, sorting paint out at the moment... ;)

I liked the video,  Hopefully you were not having that much vision issues as the camera was getting in the video.
Polarized sunglasses help a lot along with good clean visors.

Cheers, that glare was generated by the perspex case the camera lives in I think. I didn't suffer that sort of distortion on the ride.
