NW KREW '15 ride outs, banter and man love from Loon

[legzr1]

Don't get me wrong - there was nothing wrong with the pace, nothing silly and nothing to cause any concern.
In some places I'd normally have been travelling a little faster, in some a little slower but I enjoyed the day, enjoyed the company and enjoyed the roads - it's just I noticed a couple of cameras on bikes and wondered what the score was.

Nothing sinister or paranoid

I always laugh when I see people riding with GoPros stuck in their helmets, it looks like a fking gatso sticking off their bonces.

The footage never goes online AFAIK and there is no issue with the police. Seriously, there are a lot of laws protecting you there.

the Diavel was a pain to get past as it was much quicker than my bike out of the corners, and seemed to be huge because of the back tyre, it was interesting watching it though

Good to hear that.
Interesting riding it too.

That set up scares me. If they crash, which the camera is no doubt there to show how it was all the evil car driver's fault, then it'll really compromise the helmet's integrity.

I'd like a look at the run up to MIT where I peeled off as I think you were behind me for LoonGate?

He was and I have already seen Loongate form his perspective.

Enjoyed that clip from 5 minutes.

[Jazoli]

I always have it running but normally wipe it from the card once I've copied any interesting bits (Loongate, good wheelies, near misses, new top speeds) onto my PC, I think I have about 3 minutes worth of stuff saved in total, I never put anything publicly online, but will share stuff privately if its worth seeing, there was some good footage from the group this weekend so will keep some of it as its a damn site more interesting than me on my own.

Its mainly there if someone kills me or causes an accident, I have run a dashcam in my van for a while now and its been invaluable in a couple of incidents.

Isn't this what they are saying about micheal Schumacher? The camera attached to his helmet amassed to his injurys?

I didn't know that, but it makes sense.
