Did you meet the guard jeep on the way down to kilmac?

Haha yea. Traffic the whole way home so took it handy. When it passed me I was stuck behind 20+ cars. :-)

Great Day lads it really was, nice to meet you all and hopefully we all make an effort to do it more in the summer months. So happy we all got home safe and sound and no mishaps mid spin.

BTW, Who is the Marshal lad yiz are all talking about.....:D

Highlight of the summer... I don't get out much. It was an awesome day... great bikes, roads and weather.

Big thanks to the orange blurs aka marshals.

See you all next year

Happens to the best of us, you recovered well and it didn't slow you down :-)

Yeah I asked myself the same question!

I have driven it before. It's a superb bike and will never let you down. Great commander seating position and ideal for commuting. It's on my list for when I can have two bikes on the road.

Wonda, you had a gp pro strapped to your chest, did you take any footage with it?
It'd be interesting to compare :

• The positioning of it compared to a helmet mount
• The quality compared to goodlads drift (I know he put it at a lower setting to squeeze everything onto the card :pac:

And blu3oriron, was that you with the Sj4000 scaffolded to your lid How did you find it?

lol yeah, picked up a lot of wind noise, too bad it doesn't have an external mic port, but the quality is very good. I also recorded at 720p due tot he size of the card i had. It's still uploading so will post it soon as it's done. I would say the chest harness is the way to go tbh, I found that it would cause a bit of a drag in windy conditions and you could feel it pulling the helmet, but it held in place well.

Thanks a lot for organising this ride out. I enjoyed the run down to Midway, but I had to leave early to catch up with family, but after took the cross country route back to Dublin via Athy, Castledermot and Blessington, some nice sweeping roads . Think I saw three camera vans on the way back - didn't realise that there were so many out there.

Lovely machine that! I was getting high off the fumes from your machine at the back There is a good bit of footage of you to enjoy once the upload is done!

BlackWizard

It was great meeting everyone yesterday.

I'll work on getting my footage uploaded from the GoPro over the next day or two. Recorded at 720p to save space.

goodlad

From this point onwards you can really see where the 30fps lets its down.
Once the speed picks up the trees are all choppy.

Next spin out i will leave it on 720p at 60fps and see what the difference is like at speed.

I cant embed the video or it doesn't play from the time frame i set.

Yeah I had the Go Pro 3 PLUS (coz Im posh) and it was recording @ 1440 for 60mins. I will work on getting the footage up asap.

Bikerguy

.... i bet thems 8 meat balls and d cookie didnt help to stable the camera enough...

beware a lot of wind noise once we get going so you might wanna turn down the volume!

720p @ 30fps

Quite surprised at the quality of that camera Blu3 TBH....well worth the money.

Wonda-Boy

Lads Youtube or the Go Pro Suite is giving me the run around. I have the sound when doing the 1st step in the GPS but when it converts no sound. I just stuck some cheesy music on the vid but it might take a while to upload. Obviously you are not getting the same clarity with the conversion from You tube but its very sharp on my own monitor. Make sure to watch in 1080 as UTOOB dont do 1440 FFS!

Aye, the only downsides as far as I can tell are the battery life (about 70-75mins), the mic and the lack of an external mic but I should be able to hack an external mic to it easily.

Well happy for 40quid. Need to get a larger card for 1080p though.

The colours are a bit washy too, but I might get one for back up for the GP3.
