Testing the on bike camera

Well, a great weekend was had by all in Southampton and the Isle of Wight.  Managed to clock up about 570 miles in total and the weather was brilliant.  The day in the Isle of Wight on Saturday allowed me to play about with the new GoPro on board camera and see what it can do (or more to the point if I can manage to get it to do anything).  After messing about with all the different fixings we decided to go simple with the stick on pad with the camera attached directly to it.  Looked at a number of different locations but decided on centre/top of screen which allows me to turn it on and off whilst driving!!! I promise to only do this while at junctions or traffic lights. Really........ (or maybe if I see a Moose)  Linked, I hope, is an example of the results somewhere between Sandown and Ventnor with Gary giving a wave at the end, pleased to see the camera still on the bike and not a few miles back down the road having fallen off.

Unfortunately I have failed to manage to upload.  Have been waiting for an hour and it just hasn't uploaded.  Will try again once I've done a bit more research...........
