Just as well you chose to not build your shed in the front garden... ;D

The old adage about falling off a horse and getting right back on doesn't take account of breaking significant bits of your body and having to look after the horse until you are well enough to try.

Great courage on the part of your lady.

If you had it worse than me, and according to the bureau that makes the weather, you most certainly did, then I am surprised you still have a shed standing.

All my emoji wotsits gradually disappear one by one till I'm left with nothing but a grumpy scowl, but that suits me fine sir!

Nice comparison David. I have no idea why manufacturers have to tinker with what's not broke; I think they might have taken notice of the moans about the seat but why arse around with safety stuff like disabling the cruise.

All my older VAG cars have had cruise and it always disengaged if you changed down heading into a roundabout for example and also when you changed up. I nearly binned swimbo's car when I turned it left on a small roundabout having changed down and as I straightened up it suddenly accelerated back up to 30 and scared me witless as it power-steered its way across the white line. When I rang the man they said 'ah yes, two different modes of cruise fitted to our cars recently...'. Oh well, that's OK then! Of course, on a car's controls there is plenty of room for the cruise and disengaging it is easy-peasy, not so on a bike I guess.

I'm not sure that having the same 'media' company running the entire top tiers in both the 2 and 4 wheeled racing world is such a good idea but that is just me.

I think the whole biking with cameras stuff is vastly underrated when it comes to the amount of effort involved. Those who are making a decent living off YT are treating it like a full time job, which it almost is, apart from doing the bit you are filming, which is what the followers are there to see, not to admire your editing skills. Although the good editors do get great comments about their production values.

Itchyboots had to cut down the number of videos she as putting out this season from three to two as it was grinding her into the ground. Most other 'pro' YT'ers use professional editors at least for some of their stuff and the quality reflects that but if they are not from the genre they are editing then sometimes the content suffers as they don't understand the nuances involved.

I think two cameras makes for a more interesting video and three is the bees knees. Of course, when you have one on the helmet filming what you see, one on the bars filming you, a 360 one doing dizzying stuff, a stick cam for those awesome 'Watch me fall off now' shots and then a drone thrown in for good measure, then you are talking loads of money and even more loads of time editing.

I like the stuff you are putting out currently Matt.

The big difference in the messages is that the Fort Nine is a happy, chatty expose that keeps you watching whereas the Bennetts vid is a dry walk through of the technicalities. I know which most folks will listen to and it isn't the one they should be listening to.

I just loved the Croatian Corniche ride. Especially the random sign on a passing house that read 'Wine Rooms' or vice-versa. Either way, my sort of ride and my sort of place.

The random shoulder checks that the 360° camera does are just so dizzying I almost fell off my armchair.  ;D

So, what did you use it for and did it work?

You only have to look at F1 to the changes that will eventually come... ::)
