Sooooo,
Little update for you guys. I rode my bike to work this morning!
However, it was not easy and what a s
t day to start riding again.
I did not video it as i had enough to deal with after being off the bike for 2 months, i'm still in pain and my mobility is still impaired. However, it was great to feel the wind in my pubes again and feel alive once more.
Its funny just how bad one is at riding after a long spell off the bike! I found i was just not used to it, my upper body control had wasted away a bit on the muscles around the chest and also down the arms - very noticeable actually after riding 100 miles daily for the last 2 years.
It took me a while to get that awareness back in tune and im sure i'll take anther week or more to get fully dialed in. Also didnt help that the list time i rode was on a spanking hot track day in france - this morning was like a mud bath garnished with wet leaves and oil.
But yes - im almost back

btw Baron I'm trying to place an order on Actioncameras and getting this:
Coupon code "BARON10" is not valid.
With respect, I would have thought you would be best contacting Actioncameras. If it helps; whilst I was looking at the Drift HD and Drift Ghost earlier, that coupon worked with both (-10%). Perhaps, what you are ordering is not covered by the deal?Coupon code "BARON10" is not valid.
btw tried it with space between BARON 10 and without, same message.
Trying to buy a new GoPro camera.

No reply to my message.
Second time I've contacted them without a reply (both times via the "contact" tab on their website)
Poor show chaps.
Rich_b thanks for the PM offering another possible code but I've just bought one elsewhere...£50 cheaper.
Was it a GoPro 'white' edition by any chance?Second time I've contacted them without a reply (both times via the "contact" tab on their website)

Rich_b thanks for the PM offering another possible code but I've just bought one elsewhere...£50 cheaper.
Someone else had this issue and its because GoPro charge more for the white one and it leaves no profit to AC with a discount code. I understand its not ideal, but thats business i suppose.
btw they still have not replied to EITHER of my contacts (both instances were via the "contact" bit of their website)..my previous contact was a few weeks back.
not heard anything back at all.
No bother and tbh they did me a favour as I bought one £50 cheaper, brand new and sealed in the box with free postage from elsewhere....Ordered it weds eve, it arrived on Friday afternoon.
Everyone's happy.

<serious>BVG obviously pushes the envelope a bit when filtering, and there's a comment on Youtube that he only posts stuff he wouldn't mind a police officer seeing. I think he needs to be more careful editing in that case, as the highway code says you shouldn't filter past the first vehicle on zigzag lines approaching a pedestrian crossing, and he does that at least once.</serious>
Anyway, it's a nice vid (Joseph ), and those of us with wider equipment, and clearly I'm referring to my R12GS here, can only be envious at the gaps he manages to squeeze into. Folding the mirrors in just doesn't help me
