Yamaha TRX850 Enthusiasts Forum

Finally I bought a tankcam-mount en adjusted some parts (finetuning as I would say ). I don't have a movie (didn't have the time to ride yet ), but I hope to have some material a.s.a.p.

Pictures then



From the front...



The screen-shot...



And this is the view with my digital photo camera (on which most of the vids will be produced )

Now, when you get stopped by the cops for speeding, they can take the tape as evidence!!

But didn't that guy get away with it because they couldn't prove the date and time of the video ... so just remember to turn off the date/time function on your camera Trixz

Place a microphone under your back seat then you will get the pipe without the wind noise

that blur is something to do with polarisation or refractive index or some crap.. Trying to remember where i read about it..

Theres a simple fix im told.. some cameras suffer from it, and you can do some setting or some magic to make it work.. forgotten tho..

either way.. looks impressive

First... hey my REX is finally on the top yeah nice

But on-topic...

I've blurred it a bit, so that persons who have dark ideas over getting my TRX without my approval, don't find out where my bike is at the moment. You'll never know eejj...

I was planning to cover up the microphone with some tape en then see what comes out of the first test ride. But then again, a microphone in de back will give a nice sound of my pipes

And about 'the coppers'... it will be my first time then ever ...haha.

WARNING....Mini DV embeds the time & date within the tracking track so it is in the tape even if the date and time are turned off.....

In today's news:-



Website scooter stunt rider found


A 17-year-old who posted a video on a website of himself performing dangerous stunts with his scooter on the road has been tracked down by police.

Officers from Northants Police were able to identify the scooter - and subsequently the rider.

The teenager from Wellingborough has been given a formal police warning that any repeat of the offences could lead to his scooter being confiscated.

The rider was videoed in a series of dangerous manoeuvres on local roads.

Northamptonshire Police said many items on websites are brought to their attention and this time they were able to identify and track down the rider.

Sgt Jon Hodgson of Northamptonshire Police said: "This young man may have been out merely to impress his friends, but could quite easily have ended up killing himself or someone else.

"We have issued this person with a Section 59 warning which means that if the behaviour is repeated the bike is liable for seizure."

Jak,

I'm not planning to do 'illegal' stuff, ok, speeding probably .............but that's it

Pff it took me a while but ....


On the way first tankcam test part 1

On the Dyno

On the way back tankcam test part 2

Yeah, I do have a vibration issue I suspect my rubber 0-ring between my tank and mounting bracket to be the issue. Hope to find out soon, also with another toy for mounting a camera on my REX.
