Experiment with camcorder

[arallsopp]

I've just got my new bike home, and was eager to get some footage for the family (most of whom are saying "How the hell do you ride that thing?"

As I don't have a helmet cam, I went for the next best thing: -
Camcorder, on a tripod, with a ball head, tied sideways onto the lowrider pannier with an old innertube.

Now I'm not saying its shockproof, waterproof, or even a particularly good idea, but for doing the job at hand, it works!

Thanks Magnatom. You'd like it, I feel. Provides a nice stable platform for filming things. If you ever find yourself 350 miles SE of home with a spare afternoon, drop by and try her.

LOL at mr_cellophane.

That's a bit of an aggressive start.
Am loving the drift at 0:41s, and the no hander at the end. Well... loving it from a 'safe spectating in my office chair' perspective anyway.
