You did well to hold the camera and steer at the same time

I take it that the bulletcam was stuck on the RH cylinder head

Some of those walls were a bit close.

Bike sounds great

That's what I was thinking.................... if it was a helmet-cam it'd need to be a Kamikaze wearing it!

Wow,.. lot of cyclists,..Cheese and Chocolate Combo must be a really healthy diet

Was it a proper 'Bullet Cam',.. or just secured regular Cam to the bike? I've gotta learn all these things pretty damned fast really.

guys,got to admitt that the video was not taken by myself but downloaded from youtube

thought that people who havn't seen the pass might get a flavour of it from this clip.

when i had my fireblade i did fasten my ordinary video camera to a plate which i then fastened to the bike using the crash bobbin for the fairing.worked a treat.

Ah-hah!

So - the very least you could do is give me a step-by-step description of how you actually download a clip from YouTube.

its not that hard to do!

first you need to go to www.save2pc.com
download the free version and install to your pc

then go to youtube and select the video you want to download

highlight the address at top of screen,it will look like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHGHvYHaObO or similar and copy it.

open save2pc and paste link in space
i save to my documents as a mpeg(pc) if i want to watch it or otherwise save as fiv(web) if im going to post it on the web.

if posting,once saved, you have to download it from my documents into however you post pictures on this site.i use photobucket.you can then post it straight onto here or any other site.if rather than download it you just want to show the clip in here than just highlight the address, http: etc etc ,copy and paste into your thread and submit

this clip may help you more.

Here's a pretty quick looking rider on Timmelsjoch. This pass is close enough easily to do combined with Stelvio in a day and theres a great campsite about 5 mins from teh bottom of it

He's a fair way down from the top. There's a 1000m tunnel at teh top and the other side is also excellent, crosses into Austria

He was on the right bike and maybe local knowledge.

Sweet and Smooth, ... prefect demo of Sight Lines and Vanishing Points, .. got to have myself a little of that, ... but I'll be more 'Saga Tour' than 'Sport Tour'.
