Saw two Lamborghini's this morning - both stuck in traffic.
I lane filtered past !
Yep, I love it !!!!
I can filter much better on the VTR, because of the narrow bars, it fits anywhere. The 14 is too wide when the lanes are narrow. In NSW we can only filter between lanes and not the shoulder to filter past traffic.
Same here UNLESS speed limit is >90kph in which case LH shoulder is OK.
I rarely find the width of the 14 a problem.

Same, i have never had an issue with width of the 14.. I will squeez it through anything.
never had a problem filtering on the 14 :cheers:
Neither have I but I am going to fit wider bars so that might change.
Fao Proteus, unless your name's Carl on a Triumph with luggage!
love passing any traffic when i am on the 1400 love to see there faces of jealous lol love it :lol: :onya: :boogie:
i did have a range rover take exception to our filtering last week
he got closer to emma then turned to cut me off .
he wasnt happy when i didn't stop and my shoulder moved his mirror forward.
:jack:
i just carried on as he was on his phone while doing all this

Im wider than Carl and he just hits anything anyway.. Even when stationary.
Best one I did when filtering was a guy who had his hand up, so I "high fived" him as I filtered by - the look of surprise was immense!!!
I'd never get home in the morning after a night shift if I didn't filter...
This wasn't a very busy morning either.

Hey froudy, what camera set up you got?? Do you have a forward facing camera as well?? Quality of your video seems ok. I am looking at getting the Innovv to cover my arse, so to speak.
This was a week ago on my way to work...
Friend of mine has the Innovv Beaker, nice camera and of course the "electrics" part fits under you seat - however - do look at the SJ4000 its as good as a GoPro at a fraction of the price. In the UK you can get a complete SJ4000 setup including spare batteries and a charger for under £30. Can't beat it at that value!

Been looking at them, how long do the batteries last?

Yeah, very similar to the GoPro which I have - I am keen on not having to worry about turning anything on or fitting/removing it and having both forward/rearward recording. Also, the GPS feature would be handy.
Was nearly run off the road on my way to work one morning a couple of weeks back by a numnut who thought 40 meant 90 through roadworks - he then proceeded to abuse the crap out of me for travelling at the speed limit. Just want to make sure these wankers are caught if something should happen.

That's the downside, depends how you use, but continuously left on, you can generally get about 60-90 mins per battery, about the same as a GoPro. But I drilled a hole in the side casing and run it off a USB port wired to the battery and it lasts as long as you like
I use GoPro with battery eliminaters on them so never need to worry about battery life.. Thing is, if you find the right cheaper version that uses gopro batteries, you can use the same elimantor.

Do you have a link to these battery eliminator? Never heard of them but sound useful!
The only problem I can foresee with using a battery eliminator with the cheaper SJ4000 is that you'd need to drill/cut a hole for the cable to pass through in the waterproof enclosure. As they are, they're 100% waterproof to a depth of about 30 meters(Proved by a mate of mine diving with one) The water would then be able to get in to a certain extent, depending on where the hole was made.
BEWARE also..If you order an SJ4000 and it arrives in a brown box and NOT in a box like the video below, then it's an even cheaper Chinese rip off of an SJ4000..AND they are crap. I got one of these as well just because I needed a new waterproof case for my original Full HD SJ4000. The case was fine, but the camera was not full HD and it was running some dodgy software too. Film quality was dire!!!
This is a full in depth view review of the SJ4000...

And then there are the ones without the waterproof back case if your case isnt gopro compatible.

If your motorbike is 30 metres underwater - you have bigger problems..
For motorcycle use, some silicone to seal the hole where the cable goes through will make it sufficiently 'waterproof' for all weather riding.

Why not a rubber grommet to fit the hole? Silicone will work, but look messy, now a grommet will look the dogs!

That's true :boogie2:
As you and KiwiCol said..Silicone or a grommet would do the trick.
I wouldn't personally do this conversion as my camera is usually mounted on my lid. If it was bike mounted it would be worth it as I could then just plug it into my USB accessory socket to keep it running.
