Riding home from work

[4everFJ]

Just testing mounting position and quality of my new camera.

Low light performance is not the best, but otherwise it is pretty good for USD 80 (video is quite hard compressed for YouTube)

That was actually a pretty cool video, I always wanted to see other parts of the world from a motorcycle. What camera are you using SJ4000 ?

[4everFJ]

It's a Midland XTC 300.

Beautiful!! Whereabouts in Denmark? I've been only as far as Netherlands, Texel Island/Amsterdam. Would love to ride out there.

Been thinking about picking up a second camera for some moto-vlogging, seems you are happy with the purchase?

good video quality , You have a nice low traffic ride home from work ......there sure were a lot of roundabout turns . You must have the route memorised to avoid getting lost.

thanks for sharing .

Low light performance is not the best, ...

My Ion Air Pro can start to pixilate slightly sometimes when going from shade to bright sunshine,  also when it starts to get near the freeezing point.  It sometimes doesn't even function then which is funny, cuz they advertise it with snowboarders etc.  Not a deal breaker really.  I mount mine on the left mirror stalk also.  Don`t have crash bars (yet) which are very useful also.

Funny how I think I saw only one traffic light and NO stop signs for that 20 min ride.  Love those traffic circles/roundaboiuts/doughnuts.  We are only just starting to incorporate them here, but mostly in rural areas just outside the Big City.

If it wasn't for the different architecture and road signage, I'd swear I was in southern Ontario.

Have fun!

It's just outside of Copenhagen.

The camera is no GoPro, but very good for the price and very easy to operate even with gloves. A lot of wind noise, but I will try it in the waterproof casing to see if it is better.

Ha, ha, I did a 3 week motorcycle road trip in the US last summer (California, Arizona, Utah and Nevada) and was surprised by the lack of roundabouts  

We have them all over here in Denmark and they do help in keeping a good traffic flow. One thing I really liked about riding in the US was that it is allowed to turn right at red traffic lights

They just started putting more traffic circles around where I live. So many people complain and hate them. Mostly because they don't know how to use them properly. Once they figure it out the slowly come around (no pun intended). Mostly they can't stand the thought of having to take turns. It goes against the American tradition of offensive driving.

We have roundabouts all over the place here in Ohio, I think its absolutely brilliant, cant believe we waited this long to put them in. I watched your ride vid on Route 66, that was pretty cool scenery.

We have 2 round abouts in my little town. I really like riding a wheelie out of them. Just gas it a little, while still slightly leaning to the left. The he front wheel comes up and kind of turns you out into the straight away coming out of it. Great fun.

Yeah, it is me on the Harley... "interesting" bike to ride on those narrow roads covered in loose gravel.... I can tell you that I didn't scrape the foot plates on that part of the trip

I never saw that post or video(s).  Can you post the link to it again here?  Would very much like to see it.

It is the only public video on my YouTube channel...

I got a taste of that last week. I roll up slowly to time my entry, ideally without putting my foot down. Everything was looking perfect all around. Let's put me at a 6 o'clock position. But the guy who just reached the 9 o'clock position at the same time I made the 6 o'clock spot, clearly and definitely goosed his car to force me to stop while he zipped by in what otherwise would have been an easy merge for both of us. Roundabouts were not designed to let somebody make up time for the five excruciatingly long seconds it takes to negotiate one. Roundabout buzz kill.
