GoPro fixing

[Greybeard]

I've borrowed my sons GoPro camera so I can take some video of me riding Emily the Golden Flash. I've had to improvise a way of attaching the camera to my helmet, (OOERR MISSUS!).

G'day GB.
That'll work with Emily. Wouldn't last 30 seconds on my rHonda 1100 at 250kph 
I know it's not worth spending ￡￡ on the correct mount for just a short low speed ride. I'd probably do the same.

I'm trying to edit the footage on my PC but the computer keeps locking up😟

Is it as old as Emily? Mine is only two years old and has trouble with different video formats.

I believe the freezing up of the GoPro footage is because my PC hard disk is almost full. I'm running a tune-up program to clean junk off the disk.

Never liked helmet footage
The shoulder mount or chest mount make a much better video
When you start to edit it you will understand why your neck gets so sore .

I had to do what I could with what I had to hand. The camera has image steadying. I'll upload some of the footage to YT.

The last part of my ride to the location of the early BSA publicity shot.

G'day GB.
Good footage 
One thing I noticed is it looks very sable over road irregularities (joins in the surface). A lot of bikes will pull one way or the other.
The other thing I noticed is do the roads ever dry out  Every video I've seen is on wet mucky roads

Despite global changes to weather patterns, March here is typical; sunshine and showers.

I've never had to worry about stability with the old girl. The only issue is a KER-CLUNK! from the plungers when I don't manage to dodge a pothole. That is much reduced since I put a 4" tyre on the back.

G'day GB.
 Poor Emily now being called "the old girl". Better watch she doesn't hear you.

The newcomer in the shed has put a spring in her plungers 😍
