What did you do to your bike today?

If I know the lights I'll put it into neutral and sit back and relax if it's more than 10 seconds wait, always tapping down into 1st a few seconds before my light goes green. Otherwise it's 1st gear - especially when you've filtered to the front and need to be away first.

My Akropovic fits tight as a glove.

My friends gs1000 and 550 are another matter but we have a secret weapon for such situations.

Mine fits together very nicely, but with all the joints fully home and under no stress the can hangs about 4 inches too low! I have to lift the can up and then tap all the joints with a rubber mallet until the can hangs in the correct place with no stress on the headers.

The silicone has fixed the leak though, rode all the way from Plymouth to Donnington and back and it's still fine. Aching today though, especially after the track sessions as well.

so who leaves it in gear at junctions or lights then and who clicks it into neutral?

I always leave mine in first,so im ready for the off

Normally first, but if it's going to be a long wait then neutral just to sit back and relax.

As the plate for my new, a couple of weeks ago, screen is featureless I decided to add a tiger to my Tiger.

Went up to The Vic pub in Coalville for the Thursday night meet, Was great coming back down the Ashby road late on when it was quiet.

Messed around with new Drift S. Much nicer form factor for a helmet cam compared to a GoPro imo. The included wrist remote is lovely also.

Happy with mounting position, just need to experiment with some external mic positions. Just so happened my mobile alarm sounded and mic picked it up!

It's a bit worse but not really noticeable on YouTube.

I'm quite interested in the Sena 10C - a combined headset and camera. I use my cheapy £30 bluetooth headset a lot, either listening to music on the commute or sat nav on a ride out, and at times I've love a helmet cam (like when I passed what I'm 90% sure was a Mclaren P1 last night) but can't be bothered with the faff of mounting a small brick to my helmet or paying £300 for a drift

The Contour Roam 2 is an awesome camera and currently £89. Better than the Drift Ghost HD IMO. The Drift has slightly better video quality, but you can't beat the shape and the way you can turn the Contour on with your gloves.

The Contour also looks pretty cool on your helmet, especially on the side.

Just grabbed one of these off Amazon, should come in handy for my daily commute.
I'm noticing more and more idiots pulling out of junctions too busy looking for the gap in traffic and not for me coming up the other side of the road so it's only a matter of time before they catch me out!
