I must admit the Miata wasn't trying very hard ;-)

Bollocks! (hey, that was the youtube username+15 :p) The video said it was recorded on the 8th of February, last week. Mistake?

What mount did you use for the camera? I can't imagine that road being that bumpy by the looks of it.

Thanks prendrefeu, well spotted, I changed the Date...even Bollocks15 can make a mistake :D

I converted the FSA Control Center on my Bike to hold the Cam, unfortunately it's too springy so this week I'm gonna make another Mount for the Cam, you're right, it is a smooth road but just one bump makes the Camera vibrate..

Hopefully my new Mount will solve the problem.:o

Mounting the camera on your helmet will smooth out the bumps.

That idiot actually sped up, not to let you pass? There is enough blind corners on that road, that anyone driving above 15 is a reckless @#$@#.

I have a Helmet mount but I'm trying to avoid using...another reason is my fave Helmet is a spiuk with mesh in the vents so I can't wrap the Velcro through them...

But I made another modification to the Handlebar mount today so I'll see how it goes on my next ride...

Actually, that Driver wasn't that bad but I've seen some real idiots driving waaaay too fast, I think a lot of Drivers thinks it's a real road to use to get somewhere when really it's supposed to be a scenic slow drive...when they can't see water they get bored and want to get through there asap...:mad:

That looks kinda like my Miata, but if it were really mine the top would have been down! Plus, that looks like an NB series Miata and mine is an NA . . . Same colors though.
