Thanks for the reply. The 'Chesty' seems to pick up just enough of your engine's sound (and it sounds in very good fettle) and not too much wind noise. Tank mounted videos seem prone to vibration. I'm looking for a good R100RS, preferably in ice blue, vintage '77 with spokes and drum rear brake to keep my 1960 R69 company. How about Venice, Santa Monica, Mulholland for some urban rides? I may do some videos of nice rides here in SW England. Keep up the good filming! Cheers.
Enjoy your videos. What product do you use to hold your video camera so steady and at what looks like chest height for such a good view? Cheers, 'ressaunt'
@abacadabra9 Hi ressaunt. I see you are fairly new to YouTube. Welcome. The footage was shot using a GoPro "Chesty" harness which is available on their website. I feel that this mount is responsible for more dynamic footage than possible with a tank mount. I think the look of the video is also preferable to the frenetic look of super quick pans common to video shot with a helmet mount. The downside is that my body tends to muffle exauhst sounds and you are left with a lot of top end clatter.
cool video, thanks. I am going to make my way in that area to search out some old buster keaton movies and take some pictures. Topanga canyon area and Simi I hear was an area where alot of old movies were made. Thanks

@abacadabra9 What kind of rides would you like to see? I would be very interested in seeing some videos of your rides in England.
