Sunday Driver Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Did you read the recent news item about the guy who videoed his high speed hoon, then posted it up on You Tube? The video ended up showing him pulling up to his front door - from which the police were able to identify his address and subsequently arrest him.....[;-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob T Posted March 7, 2007 Author Share Posted March 7, 2007 You will notice that the speedo is not shown in the video, for obvoius reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two reference points, used with a time/distance calcuation and your bang to rights. pretty much how a standard speed camera works, and they don't need to see your speedo either......good luckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would then look on my PC to see if I had speeded or slowed the video before I had uploaded iit. After all this they may find that I had not broken any speed limits, but what the heck, 6 orn 7 man days to try and get a shaky prosecution, when they could go out with a speedgun and catch 10 cars per hour. A standard speed camera is a stationary object timing a moving object, not the other way round.I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBC Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Hello, can you tell me where you got the attachment/tripod to secure the camera on your bike? We live in the Pyrenees and do lots of bends which the other half particularly would like to record for posterity.Thanks in advanceRP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob T Posted March 8, 2007 Author Share Posted March 8, 2007 RP, If you look at the blog you can see how it is attached. I did not buy any fittment, but made one and attached it to the GPS mount. I believe that you can buy mountings, but most of them would mean that I would have to leave the tankbag or GPS behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemini_man Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Nice bit of work Bob T for a first attempt - how about a quick trip around Lac Jemaye, South of Vanxains?Edit: some interesting photos on your website btw and the geese were cranes (grues) flying North for the Summer, it's always good to hear them going North but SO sad to hear them going South in Autumn - roll on Spring [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunday Driver Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Oi, Chief!!Not sure why you had to make six fairly pointless posts about identifying Bob's bike, but you're interrupting my enjoyment of Jude's bum........[:@] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob T Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 Ignore him SD, he has nothing better to do and doesn't even live here.I do have a picture of Jude on her Blackbird, but it is on her PC and she won't let me have it!I am looking forward to the sun as I intend to video the road to Sarlat from Les Eyzies and the road past the Grand Roc. As per normal, I will stick to the speed limits when I do this and keep my clean license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly after making sarky comments to the effect that your unidentifiable. Bob T may claim to be riding within the limit and full credit to him if he is, but there are many other offences that could probably be identified in his clips. I have a bike myself and love hooning around. Not averse to speeding at all, just doesn't seem clever to me to posting vids about it. Good luck to the guy as far as im concerned, whatever floats his boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
