Offering Help – It’s a touchy subject which I could write a lot about but seeing as it is 4:25AM and I have a bank appointment tomorrow morning which I forgot about I will sum it up quickly. I wave (nod in most cases actually) to every fellow motorcyclist I see, whether they are riding a Harley, sport bike or even a scooter. I’ve noticed that only about 30% of the people acknowledge me back now. Sad…
What’s even more annoying is the fact that people now do not stop for each other when a fellow motorcyclist is broken down. I’ve debated this with many none motorcyclists and people who ride bikes alike and my consensus is that even if you are simply stopping to provide support, a mobile phone or simply to make someone’s day a little better, then is that a bad thing? Taking a few seconds to see if somebody is alright can completely change a whole person’s perspective, day or even life. Put yourself in that person’s position. What negatives can it possibly have on you?
I decided to film my old commute on the last time i ever ride it before my move. I sped it up in the first video but if you’d like to see the full video then just browse further down. I have/had a pretty great commute really and even in rush hour it is not that bad. It’s been good to ride on you, commuting roads, but that will be the last time i go down you i’m afriad, probably ever. Hopefully ever. Changes…
Deadly Banking – I went to the bank earlier today and all in all the trip takes around 7 minutes or so. I got completely bombarded by idiots! I wasn’t prepared for this! This is a pretty crappy video showing said idiots. The people/cars were a lot closer than they seem due to the wide angle lens.
I went out again to test the Go Pro HD with different rendering settings. I decided to go out when the World Cup match was being played as i’m not really bothered by football. The roads are bliss! Not a single perosn for miles on a road which would normally be a hassle and worth avoiding! Thank you football, you served your purpose for one thing! I’m still messing around with the settings so the quality will get better, also the footage will, i’m just going on some roads to test at the moment. Enjoy!
Go Pro HD Test – First Ride – My Go Pro HD finally came! I stuck it to my head and then did a few quick runs; one to the pub to have my dinner and another to go get some petrol. The quality is not the greatest as i was messing around with settings on both the camera and the editing software i use. I have to say that i am very impressed with the Go Pro HD so far. It could just do with another pre-curved mount and then it would be perfect because being the dumb idiot that i am i messed the first one up haha. Expect more posts like this in the future and i will also be purchasing an external microphone for clearer sound as well as a 32GB SD card shortly.
