Oooh, nice. I need a better editing program. Windows Live works, but is rather clunky.

Yellow suit, yellow helmet and on a red bike! Any one says they didn't see you, you just know they are lying.

How's the cam do in the evening and night hours, had a chance to play with it?

I don't think I've ridden the 20, where about is that?

I used to buy red gear, but opted for greater visibility and have transitioned into yellows. I look like a giant banana.

That was the first time out. Don't know how it will do at night yet, but it lacks a night vision mode or any other sort of enhancement, so I figure it won't be that great. If the weather stays decent I'll take it on an extended freeway trip this weekend.

Route 20 is between I-5 and I-80 in the Sierra Nevada mountains. That video was east of Marysville. Gets twisty up in the hills, but I didn't head that far up.

I'm slow and haven't yet committed everyone to memory... what's the bike?

But yeah, nice camera... and totally agree as far as being seen. :)

Ah, nice.. I had lusted after the SV650 from the day it came out. :) Ended up settling on something else but it's still on the list to compare to some day... everyone who rides them seems to like them -- I think they're about 100lbs lighter than the bigger sport touring types!

Anyway, thanks for sharing :) Have been debating cams myself so it definitely is a good data point.
