Default Testing my cheap video camera

Got one of those small cameras off ebay, think I paid about £25-£30 for it a few months ago. Put a better SD card in it a 8GB class 4 (or something like that).

The quality is ok, but as you can imagine for the price not the best, the sound was better on the original copy but I have made it half the size to upload it. Think most of the problem are caused with the mounting point as its on the front forks and gets alot of vibration, need to find a better place to mount it.

Just to clarify the camera was testing on an unknow riders bike on an unknow road etc etc

Well, I stopped watching after 1.30, when you racked up six points for the white lines alone.

I'd be taking that down if I were you.

Not impressed.

...and that's the reason I won't record myself on the roads!

Oh, and I'd be annoyed with you if I were that cyclist!

I thought white lines were discretionary for motorcyclists and only there to stop thick-headed cage drivers from driving their over-wide and slow piles of crap into each other . I haven't watched the video because it was removed before I got a chance to, but I'll bet it's no worse than my daily commute into work.

I'd say solid white lines are literally where the police draw the line at...
