That's how i ride every day to work. <3 I only use wrist guards. :D 

At least wrist guards is better than nothing, and the reality is, i dont care what people wear or not when they ride, maybe someone should even try completely naked. But I can't help it - it actually hurts my eyes just to look at it - and it hasn't gotten better from having seen the woman in the red dress that probably smashes her kneecaps because she fools around in a long dress while she juggles.  I am just doing 8 kmph, nothing can happen, just with the exception of something.

Perfect! :) insurance? ummmm 

Luckily we rushed back and it was sitting perfectly on the grass. Whew! 

Straight home to bed that day, wasn’t waiting to see what else was coming my way. 

Wife approaching...  haven't you forgotten something today? :cheers:

Agreed ! Great footage and nicely atmospheric / epic soundtrack (is there nothing a decent string section and some tactical brass won't improve?!). Yep... enjoyed that !

And that Insta360 is doing rather better in low light than most action cams do ! Did you fix the ISO to get it that noise free ?

Instax3 has a bigger sensor compared to others action cameras, and it has also noise reduction. that's why it looks really nice in the dark ;)
btw this is auto setting, i'm playing with manual setting to see if i can get a bit more .

So I’m assuming you got the phone’s locale from the vid ?

After all the hopping and crashing  i was doing i can’t believe it fell out where it did. I was just rolling when it fell. 

I used find my iphone and saw it near my house, so glad It was still there.

explored a blue MTB trail near Vienna. in 1924 it was a sled/bobsleigh track (Rodelbahn), abandoned in 1971. now part of 3 MTB trails with combined over 4km and 335m elevation change.

for sure not the last time i'll going there ;) 

quite long video 

 

the middle Krauste Linde-trail is faster, mallower and and connects to the last part, the steeper Anninger-trail

only 2 cams, as my iphone refused to do its job ...

 

and the last trail, Anninger with some small jumps.

My commute is 45 mph with traffic and intersections.  My 40 years motorcycle experience certainly helps.  As the struggle for visibility is the same, one thing I sometimes seriously misses was a horn.  Well now that's solved!

Cool mod. Are they 12 V horns? If yes, where are you getting 12 V?

When you are riding in 45 mph traffic, do you ever encounter police? If yes, do they do anything, or just leave you alone?

If you look under the headlight there is a box of 8x AA cells.  I cut into the top of the pads make a cutout so it's nicely snug.  

As for 45 mph "with traffic", I have a 3 lane 35 mph people go 50 (so have I on the Master).  There's another section with a 2 lane with no berms or sidewalks where its 30 mph but gotta do 40 not to hold people up.  Then near the end is a 4 lane where everyone goes 45-50 (as do I).  Here's a sample:

Thanks. That's a simple and effective solution since most of the time, you are not laying on the horn, and draining the battery.

As PEV's goes, that is a fast commute. By the end of the video, you have ridden for about 6 miles, but your battery has gone down to about 71%. You are using up your battery fast, at those speeds. Are you not worry that your battery level is too low for your speed near the end of your commute going 45 - 50 mph?

No (not worried) as long as I'm not torquing it much.  I do have the 40T cells that are better for that (less sag).  Also, in EUC World my "safety margin" has never gone lower than 15% even when doing over 50 mph on just under 50% battery on the Master.  On my S20 doing 43 mph my safety margine went to 8% and it was just as bad with older MSX-100V and worst of all S18 that gave me 20 mph tiltbacks by the time I got home.

Loki and Teddy on grass, cool.

Thanks.  Wet grass riding with them is why I'm gonna put a full knobby on the Extreme when it arrives... and use the Shinko 525 on my S20.
