Well I've got my hard disk recorder and bullet cam fitted to the bike and did a recording yesterday morning when I went to work. I'll not bore you with it as its typical built up area video.

Works well I think, just what I've always wanted for a track day

The cam mighta been better off set up in your garage.

I've got one set up in there, its on a motion sensor setup. Records direct to my computers hard disk

I did try looking for a laser light, cos I was thinking if they see a light they might stare at it wondering what its use is, then after about 30 secs it flashes, might burn out their retinas

But I can't find one

What type of hd recorder gio? I tried a 4 channel recorder that they fit to buses but as soon as I drove off it gave disk errors and stopped. Had 3 cameras taped to my bike aswell, wouldve been mint.

Probably going to end up gaffataping my digicam to my fork leg for 1st trackday, really profesional like.

Its a Yukai PVR-H230

I like it and haven't had any probs.

There's one here at a good price http://www.morgancomputers.co.uk/shop/d ... network=af

As an add on you should be able to get both the recorder and bullet cam and live feed to your bikes battery for around £170

Just got one of these http://www.actioncameras.co.uk/acatalog/ATC-2000.html .
Thought it would be just the job on my dirt bike but it could have been so much better.
The problem is the on-off buttons they needed to be big Fisher Price type instead of the stupid small things on it . The last thing you need to-do on a bike is stop and take your gloves off to turn it on .

I had a look at one of those, but decided for an extra £40 I could have something that I can use for other things and not just as a camera.

So whats the quality like john? The couple of vids I saw using them were a bit shaky?

The advantage is you can stick loads all over the place dead easy. Bootcam!

Phallic symbol style?

The quality isn’t bad not as good as a bullet cam I would say the same quality as a good web-cam but without the missed frames . If you follow the link and go to footage there is a clip that will give you a ideal. Must point out only just got it so have yet to put it through a good work out.

Me and the camera had a track-day at Silverstone today I performed ok but the camera was shit.
Would only stay on for a few min’s then would switch off I assume excessive vibration to be the culprit.
If you intend to use a camera on your road bike I would recommend the bullet cam set-up personally.

Seen the results of some of Gio's trial runs with his set-up and I'm quite impressed.



... with the cam that is, no comment on the riding or roads.
