Random commuting stuff

Just a compilation from a day to and from work (Friday).

Bit of scenery, traffic 'filtering', a nice building or two, more traffic filtering, some moody skies, a rainbow, and some night shots.




The handlebar mount was difficult to manage with the renthals - not much clearance, and ends a bit low - camera needs to be a tad higher so binnacle isn't blocking as much in front.  At least its stable, very little shakiness.

Obviously with the GoPro Hero2 - night-time is not its forte.   

Comments / questions welcome.

The older I get the better I was
The problem with retirement is that you cant take a day off

Welcome to my world.

I travel from Mt.Gravatt to Eagle Farm each day for work, I start at 9am the traffic is so bad on M1 and Kingsford Smith Drive I have started using the Gateway Bridge $2.20 per trip but does save heaps of time and loads of lane splitting  :onya: :onya: :onya:

Haha I did that, watch your insurance rise when you tell them you are retired - mine went up a few quid. I queried the guy on it (as my car insurance did the same) saying that there was no difference in mileage or any other factors so why had it gone up?

Having now driven with said silly old farts for just on a year (since I retired), I know exactly what he means - jeez its more risky!!!!!
Nothing to do.............all day to do it....I love retirement :lol:

Copy the URL directly into the post and surround it with the youtube tags, just youtube inside square brackets, or click on the red 'youtube' icon (under change colour in the editing window) which will put those tags in for you automatically.

What kind of driving light you have Vlad? It seems so bright compared to mine. Or is it just the video?

VladTepes

Driving light? You mean headlight?
Just the stock on me - if it looks bright in the video then it's DEFINITELY the video coz in real life it's - ordinary.
I tired an HID kit for a while - it broke - useless, wouldn't do that again.
Maybe try LED one day....
