Good one  Quality works fine, well done I watched in embedded mode first, then a quick look in full screen. At larger size, it's a little grainy, but very watchable. Microphone has picked up the sound rather well, nice Vee Twin but with the whine from a modern exhaust system. Very little wind noise. at 2 minutes you go under a bridge. The shadows made it appear as though the front end was rising in a wheelie What is the helmet law in NL? From 7'45" you're following what looks like a scooter with helmetless rider |

Good observation Mcf. I liked the location as it gave the feel of the bike in the bends. The sound was good with a similar gear box clunk. I did like the sound when you gave her the guns in the overtake

Nice video !
Good position of the camera & nice sound.
In reply to McF's question regarding helmets:
In the Netherlands (& a lot of other countries in Europe), there are 3 categories of 2 wheelers:
These are (in dutch): "snorfiets", "bromfiets" & "motorfiets".
The snorfiets must be designed to have a maximum speed of 25 km/h. In the Netherlands these can be recognised by the blue numberplates. You do not have to wear a helmet on a snorfiets.
The bromfiets has a maximum designspeed of 50 km/h (allthough they are allowed a max. speed of 45 km/h over here). In the Netherlands these can be recognised by the yellow numberplates. You do have to wear a helmet on a bromfiets.
Both the brom- and snorfiets have a maximum capacity of 50 cc (in case of a petrol engine) or a power less than 4 kW (in case of an electric motor).
And then there is the motorfiets, which is the normal motorbike (more than 50 cc or more than 4 kW).
These are recognised by (also) yellow numberplates (but larger plates & different letter combination).
Unfortunately a "snorfiets" can quite often easily be modified to be a "bromfiets"; which is illegal, but if you're carefull about the police, you can ride like this for a very long time.
The rider of the snorfiets in the video does make a mistake: he's using the cycle-path.
Since a few years all motorized vehicles should use the roads, inside towns. Cycle-paths are stricktly for un-motorized vehicles.

Ah yes....well, I didn't lift the front under that bridge....but I have trained a bit with it  (100 bhp brings out the boy racer...) The mic is under the seat, so hence the lack of windnoise The reason it's so quiet is because it's dinner time I rode all evening as well, just getting some kilometers on the clock to forget about the rest of the world.... On the mopeds: (I do believe that's the word) Like in the UK, anything under 50 cc can be driven on any license, as you get the Am license free with anything else. From 16 kids can get a license Am for 'snor' and brom' bikes. (18 for anything else) I still think it was a BIG mistake to make the licenseplates on 'brom' bikes yellow and this design. It's very hard for a cop to see if it's a < 50 cc bike, or a Belgian normal bike (their plate is nearly the same) Make the plates green/orange/whatever and it would have been easy  I'll upload the rest of the tape at some point....and perhaps (depending on how long the tape lasted) you'll see the front come loose  |
