    I had a run up to Braemar on Wednesday and decided to stick my gopro on the bike,i've always thought when i watch the vids on you tube that it makes the bike look as if they are going much faster than they actually are..i can confirm this is true..i better not show the Mrs the video:blush:

    If you stick on a polarized filter it looks like your ignition is turned off! ;-)

    Don't feel obligated to watch the full vid, it is half hour long lol, but this was filmed with a polarized filter on my GoPro:



    It blanks out any incriminating evidence when you are upright :)

    I was blown away by it, really fun day out :)
    Andy has a good point regarding the wide angle lens, I run in superview which is as wide as it does and it looks so much faster than when in narrower views, especially when on twisty narrow country lanes! :)

    i had it set on my tank and it was on the wide setting which gives a great view of the road and scenery, but there is a super wide but it looks slightly fish eye to me so not keen on it
