    Well, aside from the Speedy RS - a Chinese knock off Go-Pro, called a Geekam from Amazon; 4k, wifi etc etc, come with a waterproof housing and loads of Go-Pro compatible mounts. Video is very good and I've even taken it scuba diving to 26m, so I reckon the waterproof housing claim to 30 meters is good. As good as a Go-Pro for a 10th of the price.....https://www.amazon.co.uk/GeeKam-Wat...9M/?tag=bingshoppinga-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid={creative}&hvpos={adposition}&hvnetw=o&hvrand={random}&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=e&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl={devicemodel}&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4583726541750649&psc=1

    Cheers for the heads up, looking for one to stick on my race bike & don’t fancy writing off an expensive one in the event of a crash, if Santa doesn’t bring me one will invest in one of these. :cool:

    My best purchase of the year was the Garmin gps I purchased off Crispey, which I’m more than pleased with :)

    Thats was my thoughts too. I have a scuba diving holiday in the Red Sea in few weeks....if the housing leaks it's cost me less than £40. Have also used it on the Speedy and when on a friend's jet ski. Tip - if videoing fast action, use the camera at 1080p and 60f/s - you are more likely to catch the action and you can use slow-motion in the editing if you want

    If you want to take it diving then don't forget to put silicon gel on the o rings and seals to stop it leaking under pressure :):)

    Christolube is the diving preference, Krytox is the aerospace preference but as long as it creates a waterproof seal I think either will work bud :)

    Congrats to your missus on passing the test. Sorry to hear you’ve lost your bike.
    Must be the the first wife to have two as well as passing :)

    Love my Speedy been long time coming. Managed to score some great preloved gear as well (leathers and a cool jacket)

    Wouldn’t believe what was on board for Xmas (rear bag), ham (backpack), cheese and meats (shopping bags swung off backpack clips) :dizzy:

    After years of watching Triumph Scramblers roll by me on my much loved Nighthawk 750 a 2016 Scrambler for $4,500. Happy Trails bags, Mohawk Windscreen, Triumph Gel seat and a new chain ($1,200) later I'm loving my new daily rider. All for $5,700 - that's what I call the best purchase of my 54 years.
