    Almond green would be cool, bit different too. What paint you using cellulose or 2k?

    Well first service is Thursday so only 150 more miles needed to clear the 500 and 2 days left to get them - well it was 2 days until work called and asked me to attend a meeting in Aberdeen tomorrow! :mad:
    So - about to pull my gear on and head out - thinking Abersoch via Bala - long time since I've been out that way though - and been spoilt by TomTom for too long in the car - so maybe I'll end up somewhere else! :biggrin:
    So if anyone gets this in the next half hour give me a shout for a meet up!

    Chester - Corwen - Bala - Portmadoc - Abersoch - Aberdaron - Caernarfon - Llanberis - Capel Curig - Betws y Coed - Corwen - Chester
    222 miles (Total now 552) 5 1/2 hrs - tank and a half of gas - a gazillion flies - and 1 pheasant!
    Not exactly the route I planned - wasn't expecting Caernarfon - but that's Spanky's fault :biggrin:

    Coastguard station above Aberdaron beach:

    Beside the lake at Llanberis:

    Beside the river at Betws y Coed:

    Ran both cameras till batteries gave out so over 2 hours video on each. Not had any success as yet uploading video direct from file to YouTube but it's 'optimizing at the moment and when that's doe I'll select some clips and try and post.

    Heard about 'tail tidies' not sure yet what they are - need to check that out - wouldn't want to lose the camera mounting position though...

    Messing with video takes so much time!!! :frown:

    Anyway - here's a few minutes of Tuesday's outing:

    Aberdaron June 13 - YouTube

    Camera: Drift Ghost with Drift Ghost mic. Mounted helmet and tail.
    Settings: 1080 res; 30 fps; 170 deg; Mic sensitivity 2

    Only spoke a couple of times but quite pleased with the audio on setting 2 after getting very slight distortion on setting 3.

    Nice vid, good roads and scenery.

    I must admit that when I first started to hear about cameras on bikes, I thought it was a dum idea.
    The more you guys put vids on the forum, the more I like them. Gives a much better picture of a biking holiday, than the odd snapshot whenever the bike is parked...
