What camera are you using Les?
Must say though, I prefer to see where I'm going rather than where I've been

That explains it papasmurf most of the drivers in Medway are Italian, Boxerman I am using a Drift HD Ghost, which is normally foreword facing but may be interesting to see a ride out with several bikes from a different perspective

Blimey Les, thought you looked a bit like a dalek when you left last night but didn't realise you were filming us at your departure! Now you have REALLY volunteered to lead the Kent REOC 'Otty Bottom' rally ride out this June, with Simon(Scalyback) filming from the tail end? We now expect a professional video record.

Frank that's the same satnav set up I am using a bit of a puzzle to get my phone and helmet blue tooth to pair up together but it can be done I find it very useful for palming ride outs I create the route on the computer then copy it to the satnav

Hi Les, I had a Cardo Scala rider QZ. It has two bluetooth channels so I can connect the phone and satnav separately or have the phone connect via the satnav. You can also use the usb port with a cable if your satnav, phone, ipod etc.. doesn't have bluetooth.
I tend to do things the other way round - go for a bimble somewhere and then connect the satnav to the computer to see where I've been

I am not a singer but you have to be careful about talking to your self as it can be picked up on a helmet cam, as for Bluetooth smart phones such as the Iphone use two channels when connected one for the phone and one for music, so you need to pair it with the sat nav first which connects the phone you them get an error about no audio you then pair it with the helmet headset next then it should work, I found instructions on the Garmin web site in the frequently asked questions, it wont work if you do it the other way around.
