Camera OK

From: Englissh
Description:

Hello from France.

Thank you UWE, for your input, I am lucky that Pamela and I have worked very hard in our life just up to when we could not go any further, then we get screwed with all the red tape and differences between where we lived the first half of our time to where we hope to finish our time. All we have got is ours, house, 2 cars and my Drag Star, we said that if push came to shove in France you could live on bread, cheese and wine, but we never take into account ill health and other stupid things like glasses and teeth which in France are classed as a lux not needed so the state dont help in a field which is already overpriced.

I am getting of the subject, ( sorry ). After readind UWE's input about the price of cams I was happy that he linked me to the German site of the French site where my cam cost only 49.99 euro, it was shown as a sports cam and after I solved the fixing problem and my first test all seems OK. I will get round to posting some roads round us, i am happy with the image but the sound is another mater as the microphone on the cam is underneath so it picks up a lot of wind rush round by the bars, but for the money I know have something else to play with and keep me busy during the day.

If anybody has got or has used the " Eagle 100 by Sumikon " I would like your input on this little cam as I am shure that I could do with some pointers although all you got to do is battery, sd card, switch on, choose quality and start and its away, maybe my AA's are too low powered or my SD card is too small or not of the right type, only somebody like you can help.

Enough of this rambling I will let you get back to something more interesting, like like like oh well you know better than me, I am lucky no one can come round and break my keyboard but if you think about it I am about 9 hours from the UK ( ferry included ) and about the same time from the only CCC member that I know of in France and she likes chinese food, so my rambling is safe for the moment.

I am open to all suggestions that could be repeated to a sober parish priest.

Keep the grey coming long and slow.

Hello from France.

Well I have found a camera over here on Ebay and it seems OK, its an EAGLE 100 by Somikon, basic cam with AA batts inside and up to 8 Go Sd card, can be used direct to the TV or PC via USB connection and well the price was less than 50 euro.

It has an elastic strap to fit it to your helmet but I don’t like that much, it comes with a tube fixing and that seems the best solution, got to work something out as my tests gave me a bad neck trying to keep up with the vibration of the cam.

The quality of image is very good for something a cheap as this, so lets get down to my posting, CAM v CAM, when you get pulled over by the police in a lot of places you are being filmed, so now when you talk to the occifer stand in front of your bike so that when he gives you a test of your helmet by hitting you as hard as he can with his riot stick you now have it on film, try improving the sound gain on your cam so when he starts talking about the married status of your mother and father you again have it on film.

When it goes to court and the occifer states his cam was not working well because he pulled the fuse, you can say “ ok judge you can watch my film if you want to”. You have fun and enjoy yourself, and as other people have said, once you start you cant really stop, I walked round the house filming, the garden and our village, must get it on the bike without all the vibration. If somebody has the same I would love to know how you fixed yours as I have seen a clip with it used on a BMX coming down a mountain side with the exception when the guy fell over the side all was good, I sent him a mail but he has not replied yet ( maybe injured or dead )

Keep the Grey coming long and slow.

A Day Of Fun

From: Robin001
Description:

31 October 2009. I spent the day with the amazing Phil Cole today. We enjoyed a few Scothes keeping in mind Phil had to ride home. We set up my video camera and made a couple of short films that I hope you will all get a laugh out of. We even hooked up with the fabulous Cehszar on SKYPE. For those of you who don't have SYPE, download it, it is free. All you need is a webcam. Phil and I would be happy to talk to anyone world wide. Besides it is a good way to may arrangements for accommodation when you want to travel. LOL.

We hope what we have done will encourage you all to get the camera out and shoot some film. Most digital cameras these days will take video as well as photographs.

I believe the incredible Kyle made a statement on one of his videos there may be a small prize for the best video introduction. So get out there and do it guys.

I hope Phil and I can come up with a few more videos for your enjoyment. So until then cheers and stay upright.

Touring and packing

From: Dimitra
Description:

In a few days we're off on a touring trip for 2 weeks. We will be travelling at a leisurely pace taking in all the scenery and stopping to visit and stay at various towns along the trip.

There are many of you out there who are experienced touring riders. I'm after some pointers on the subject from those with experience. We have a pair of saddlebags each (hubby and I, on our respective bikes) and hubby will be carrying a top bag on the back pack rack. We have some Andy Strapz to basically bungy anything we need to the back of the bike.

Tonight we did a 'practice pack' to see what will fit into the bags as this is all new to us. Deciding how many pairs of pants do we really need to take, etc. Also trying to put things we will need most in the top bag. Got a first aid kit, sunscreen, eye drops, camera of course, etc. We're prepared with a few bike spares too such as globes, spare levers etc which will go in my bike's drop box.

Not sure if I should take more than one bike jacket. My DriRider jacket will be windproof and waterproof for the elements, and it does have zips I can open for air flow. Planning not to take the liner as it's bulky and we are headed into summer here (supposedly). I figure I can layer long sleeve tops if I'm colder. Do I bother with summer jacket or not? Currently the weather forecast has rain and hot days, so I don't know what the weather will be like for the full two weeks away. What do you do?

What else should we know before we go? E.g. Are there specific items that we should not even bother taking? Are there items which are a definite MUST HAVE? Are there items we should keep very accessible (i.e. in the top bag rather than the saddlebags), etc?

I'm not sure if this subject has already been discussed, but as someone who's never toured before, I'm very interested in hearing your feedback!!

Thanks, Dim :)

Taken on a ride to the Sequoias yesterday...lovely weather and a great ride from Tehachapi. You can see my new Ultimate Seat--it was quite comfortable, even after 10 hours riding on Saturday and 11 hours on Sunday. (Not counting food and drink breaks...) Everyone else was suffering from numb-butt syndrome (even with aftermarket seats) but I was cool as a cucumber! NICE!

The Wall ride... 09

From: Ritterwolfe
Description:


The Vietnam Veterans Mobile Wall and Tribute

By Robert (Rocker) Votrain

I am a member of the Patriot Guard Riders an organization mostly known for escorting our fallen heroes to their final resting place while riding motorcycles.

I had been informed the “Wall” was coming to Desloge for well over a month. And the Patriot Guard was going to be involved with the escort and with part of the program honoring our fallen. The “Wall” would be in Desloge from Sept. 30^th to Oct. 4^th with events and services scheduled every day.

The excitement of our impending mission grew through e-mails as the date grew near and I,wanting to ride with a group, scrambled to find someone from my area to ride to Potosi with. The BACA riders of Farmington asked me to ride with them but I wanted to travel a different path than they had planned to ride that day. Poppy, the former chapter President of Farmington's BACA, agreed to meet me in Bismarck. As I went to top off my tank I met Noel ,owner of Bismarck ATV and Custom Cycle, who along with his son was also going to Potosi. So now there were 4 of us. Leaving Bismarck the air was sweet and crisp traffic was light as we cruised down Highway 32 to Highway 21 to Potosi it was honestly a beautiful morning and road to ride.

When we arrived I was surprised by the turn out of motorcycles and custom cars that were going to participate in the escort. There were also several State police officers,Sheriffs, emergency vehicles and official cars lining up. As they began staging the vehicles I went to a predetermined area and waited for the opportunity to shoot a few pictures as the main body went by hoping to join in to the rear of the motorcycle procession. Finding my vantage point I shot several pictures of the lead group of vehicles, the limo carrying the Mayor of Desloge and the bikes before I hurriedly tucked the camera away and joined the tail of the group of bikes.

The procession was impressive. About 150 bikes, 10 or so custom cars and all the other vehicles, we stretched for about 4 miles. On coming traffic would pull over as we met them, people in the out lying areas came out of their homes and waved flags and cheered. We ended the escort in Desloge at the VFW Post 2426.

The Ride to “The Wall”.... October4th 2009....

Sunday just felt different. I grabbed the camera and dressed warm the morning air had a definable bite to it... Loaded the bike and headed to meet the Patriot Guard Riders in the Walmart Parking lot in Desloge for the Ride to the Wall.

Before I go any further I want to say if you are not Patriot Guard you really need to be. It is an honor to support our Heroes and those who have fallen to save our way of life. I suppose it takes a little time out of our lives but shouldn't we have a reason to ride and what a better reason than to show the world we are Patriots and support our troops.

The gathering of the local Guard brought about about 85 bikes. Some carried regular sized flags others not so much. We put or passenger pegs down as to symbolize carrying one of our fallen with us. We lined up two by two and waited for our police escort to signal it was time. We were headed for the city park where “the Wall” was assembled and displayed. Once we arrived we lined up tail light to the wall side by side about 10 or so feet in front. About 200 spectators were on hand to watch our ceremony honoring the Vietnam war fallen.

All but one bike was in this formation. The last bike was carrying the American flag a POW flag and a Patriot Guard flag. It was decorated with a Kevlar helmet and boots set in the back pegs facing backwards. Just like they used to put the boots in the stirrups of a horse backwards to show the rider had fallen in battle. As he passed we showed respect by covering our hearts and standing at attention. As a group we all walked forward and placed our right hand against the wall. The experience was so very moving. It brought tears to everyone's eyes. They played the National anthem and a prayer was given then a young girl sang a song she wrote about the Uncle she never met... Someone who had died defending our country... The group mingled with the onlookers and the Patriot Guard Riders ceremony ended...

“ All gave some... Some gave all....”

Interesting facts about “The Wall”

This version of the Wall is 180 feet long. Which is about 80% of the original Vietnam Veterans memorial wall in Washington DC. Which is 246.75 feet long, composed of 70 separate inscribed granite panels, plus 4 at the end without names; the panels themselves are 40 inches in width; the largest panels have 137 lines of names, while the shortest have one; there are five names on each line, although with new additions of names, some lines now have six; the walls are supported by 140 concrete pilings driven approximately 35 feet (some are at 20 feet) to bedrock; at the vertex the walls are 10.1 feet in height. There are 58249 Names on The Wall in Wash,DC.

The youngest Vietnam KIA is believed to be Dan Bullock at 15 years old.

The oldest person on the Wall is believed to be Dwaine McGriff at 63 years old.

At least 5 men killed in Vietnam were 16 years old. At least 12 men killed in Vietnam were 17 years old.

(note) information taken from http://thewall-usa.com/information.asp

There were several other memorials that also travel with “the Wall”. They are a Memorial for the people who died in the towers on 911 along with the people who died in the hijacked planes. There were also memorials from the Korean war and WWII. Flags, ride pins, patches and artwork commemorating all the Wars America has fought were for sale. Also on display was a replica tiger cage where American POW's were held and tortured. And a rifle helmet and boots tribute along with dog tags of our sons, daughters, mothers, fathers who fought and died in Iraq.

Tips to prevent motorcycle the

From: twest137
Description:

According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, more than 60,000 motorcycles were stolen last year: that's one bike stolen every 8.7 minutes. The good news is that there are simple steps that can help you protect your bike.

Motorcycle insurer Progressive offers these tips:

• When you're home, store your bike in a secure place like your garage, shed, or gated and locked yard.

• Always remove the key from your ignition and keep your front fork locked.

• Garage your bike out of plain view whenever possible.

• When parking in public, check on your bike frequently.

• If you have to park outdoors, do so in well-lit, secure areas. Look for an outdoor security camera and park in its view if you can.

• Always carry your registration and insurance card with you when you ride, but keep your title at home or in another secure place.

• Lock your bike to a stationary object or to another motorcycle when traveling with others. Use high-quality locking devices.

• Consider adding an audible alarm or tracking device. Systems like LoJack can not only help you locate your bike if it's stolen, but in several states, you can get a discount with some insurance companies. Check with your local independent agent to find out what discounts are available.

• Check with your agent to make sure you have the right coverage. If your bike is stolen, liability-only insurance won't cover the loss. Make sure your policy has Comprehensive coverage.

• And if your motorcycle is less than two years old, consider adding coverage such as Total Loss Replacement to your policy. This coverage will pay for a brand-new bike of the same make and model if your bike is stolen or totaled.

Williamsburg Ride

From: vasoftball5
Description:

Bbbbrrrrrrrr !!!!! It started out COLD this morning. We road down to Williamsburg to see the in-laws. It's just a straight shot out of Richmond. We had lunch at a quaint Victorian house converted to a luncheonette. Disappointing a bit: Old Virginia Ham is marketing speak for "unbelievably salty meat". Two glasses of iced tea just to keep from having my face suck into itself from dryness.

The ride back--- awesome. We chose Route 5 on the way back. Great choice!! Lot's of twists and turns, and crossing the James River was really, really cool down that low in the tidewater region. Now that we know what that route gives us, we'll be taking a camera with us. Hopefully, we'll catch the trees turning for the fall.

Virginia is one of the most beautiful places when the trees begin to turn. Keep your eyes peeled for my next blog when I capture the scenic tour of the mid-Atlantic Virginia. (The photo attached is from last year, in my backyard.)

Keep riding - keep warm.

Wolves Riders MCP part II

From: Englissh
Description:

Well the second and final day Breakfast starts at 08.00, and there is a ride round the region planned for about 10.00, so if I get there before the ride all will be OK, well sh*t happens I slept later than I had wanted to, opening the shutters I found it had been raining and it was still falling as a slight mist so sh*t N° 2, I went in the car and got there just ready for the start of the ride so able to get some pictures and then sh*t N° 3, I managed to get the camera on its side and the video was filmed on its side.

Well they went on there way and I went down into the show site and had coffee and cake for breakfast, which I needed. After feeling a lot better with 3 cups of black coffee I when down to the bike park to see what was left and took a few more photo’s.

It was now about 12.00 and the bikes started to return so I quickly went over and had some dinner before the rest swamped the place, by now the rain had stopped and it was getting a little better and the clouds were on the depart.

14.00 and the circus big top started to ring with music from a group called AGNOS, they were OK, more and more people were coming on to the site to finish off the week end, 15.30 I was shocked for from the Big Top I heard ELVIS and JOHHNY HALLYDAY singing, found out it was only MICHEL, well he sung so well that from outside you really had to listen hard as it sounded just like the real thing.

16.00 the hour that I was waiting for as it was the time to draw the Lottery Prizes and as the wife and I have fetish numbers I was hoping to win something, I listened, nothing and with only 2 prizes left a Digital Camera and then a GPS, well Sh*t N° 4, I did not get the GPS, but the wife will be pleased with our new OLYMPUS Camera, Long Live Fetish....

To sum up the two days GOOD FUN a chance to meet old friend and make new ones, look at some rather good looking bikes ( HD 883 with 29 miles on the clock going for 6600 Euro) my wife said NO, and she meant NO even with a saving of over 2000 Euro. The food was good and on the liquid side, beer, wine, soft drinks and WATER for me. The stands, about 20 sold all sorts from this to that and of course those and these and as it is near the end of the year for biker manifestations you could argue the price a little bit.

THANK YOU the WOLVES RIDERS MCP hope to see you on the road and at BLAYE 2010.

Helmet/Bike mounted Video Came

From: Spock900
Description:

Hi all,

Wanted to let you know about my latest toy. You have probably seen some of the videos I have been posting, I hope you have anyway! All of these have been taken using a cool little video camera called the ContourHD. It is made for extreme sports and quite rugged. I thought you might like a short review of it.

It is able to record both HD (High definitiion) and SD (standard definition) video. It records onto a Micro SD memory card and comes with one that is 2Gb in size but you can use up to 16Gb cards.

It has a rechargeable battery that will last about 2-3 hours for SD and 1.5 Hours for HD recording.

The casing is anodised metal and is water-resistant but not waterproof. It has two lasers built in to make alignment easy, even when wearing gloves. If you mount the camera "side on" you simply rotate the lens until the lasers are horizontal again and it is ready to go. There are also a couple of LEDs on the back that indicate if the memory card is getting full or the battery running low by changing colour. A sinlge LED at the front indicates recording status.

The record switch is a large slide operated one on the top of the camera. Easily operated when wearing motorcycle gloves. The camera emits a loud beep to signify recording has started and again when stopped.

The lens is wide angle and can capture 135 degrees in HD or 90 degrees in SD format. The HD format is 1280x720 and 30 frames per second whilst SD is 848x480 and 60 frames per second.

I find the SD is really good for recording when on the bike as it handles the movement and bumps a bit better. HD is awesome quality though and really good on smoother roads. It uses up much more memory and battery life though.

The mounting plates for your helmet are a removable adhesive pad. The camera slides onto rails on the mounting pad and is secured by a looped cord in case it comes loose from the rails.

The connection to the PC/MAC is a standard USB cable and this also charges the battery. The camera comes with some very basic editing software (very basic). It allows you to copy, clip and share your videos but not much else.

You can buy all sorts of accessories for them including different mounts, spare batteries etc.

WARNING - it is addicitive and once you start taking video whilst riding you may not be able to stop!!!

Camera on Board

From: Englissh
Description:

Hello from France.

I have sorted out my problem of putting a cam on the bike, I dont need all that cable as it would only go a max of 500 metres then it would pull out of the wall. I decided to put a old Super 8 ona sholder stand and put a car battery each side bags, then found out cant get the film now. Then I thought of my Pentax as it has a video mode but my mouth is not big enough to hold it and keep the button pushed in, as the left hand is needed for the clutch and the right for the gas, I have thought long and hard and now the solution is simple FORGET IT.

Unless some one has any Idea what to use? SVP.
