Well it started as a shocker for me

I realized about 4 k’s from the Pines that I didn’t have my riding pants, knee guards and jersey :ohmy:

Hahaha I’ve done this before Adam. I went riding anyway, must have looked a sight riding through the bush in MX boots and footy shorts.

Looking forward to Murphs pics of you insane bastards.

They may be personal issue not police issue. I use my Gopro for work I have a mount for the load bearing vest. Handy to have your own footage sometimes when the public like to video us and oh what a handy tax deduction.

I seen these iPhone covers the other day. I’m just about to update my phone might use my old iPhone 4S and try it out. Turns your iPhone into a 170 degree POV waterproof sports cam and apparently the iphone has image stabilisation but id have to look that up to confirm it. Could be interesting I may just order one for fun would be a handy waterproof case when I’m out on my kayak anyway. Of course no good if you ain’t got an iPhone. Just another option.

Oldgirl you could give the $100 dollar cheapy a go but from what I remember you started with a cheapy bike and that didn’t work out so well.

All the sports cameras will be a bit shaky. The only one with any form of image stabilisation is the Sony Action Cam but it doesn’t do IS at the widest point of view setting.

I have a Liquid Image EGO and Gopro Hero 3 Black. The EGO does a good job at a cheap price but it can struggle with high contrast lighting changes that are common riding dirt bikes like when riding through trees on a sunny day with the sunny patches shining through. The image quality is not a sharp as the Gopro either.

As for mounting there are other ways than just on top of the head which I hate and wont do after near being pulled of the bike and getting a neck strain from one mounted this way. They will get hooked in bushes and the like.

This is my current mount setup which is working well.

I like the Gopro and there are a range of models to suit you budget. There are others on here with some of the other camera like the Contour and the Drift hope they can give some information on those.

Gaerne : pronounced Gay-Ernie

(True fact!)

They recon gays know a bit about style and these are some stylish boots.

Got to ride in them today, barely knew I had them on.

[Scott SouthwellMember]

This will be on my list. Will try and drag a few works mates along as well.

[Scott SouthwellMember]

Went and broke my new boots in whipping the 610 through some local trails.

Twobanger, have done the run through to Sunnycorner in the past but not this time. I went looking to link the Turon river trail from out the back of Cullen Bullen.

Marty your right great place to ride with a wide variety of terrain. You could ride anything from a trials bike to a large ADV bike and in the area and find plenty of awesome trails to satisfy your needs.

If it was Ford I would say made by Kia just like the majority of Holdens are made by Daewoo. I won’t buy so called Aussie cars they are junk and don’t get me stared on US cars. My misses last car was a Jeep. Biggest piece of shit EVER.

rant over.

Cheaper than retail here but if shopping online they can be found cheaper again. eglobal has the black at the moment for $349 which is a bargain but there postage cost can be heavy probably push it close to $400. Silver is $222 and white $209.

Ouch that looks and sounded nasty. Gotta watch those MX tracks they will suck you in to thinking your got the skills of Chad Reed.

Some classic footage from 92 Cessnock ISDE. Skip the first 6 minutes to get into the action. See if you can spot the OBT inmate.

Hey that’s my song.

Where there’s a will there’s a way Twobanger. I remember racing a cross country where there was a guy who had no right hand just a stump. With all the modern gear such as auto clutches, left hand brake levers and the like should be able to make something work. Ya may have to slow up a bit but that’s gotta be better than not riding at all.
