Warning: This video contains no exciting overtakes, no knee down action, and no wheelies :) But if you were in the back half of the ride there's a good chance you're in it. More to come on those lines but I wanted to get a shorter one ready to go just to see how it works. Playing with Raf's footage now as it's much more interesting.

For those interested, this was my wee Oregon Scientific ATC 2K, bought on Ebay for the princely sum of £80, and fitted to a very rough wing mirror mount (as with all the best bodges, about 10 feet of electric tape was also involved). It's a wee bit wobbly but it's not engine vibes, just road bumps. Maybe I can reduce that, maybe not, I could build a foam-mount bracket but then the cam might move within it on its own weight. So first I'll build a better solid mount and try that. A 2gb card gives you more or less an hour of video at max quality with the sound on- possibly more with sound off, haven't tried that. Not too shabby at all. Also completely waterproof- oh, how we tested it.
