Title: my first youtube video ever; Took my GTR to some local west Norway roads.
Post by: JohnnyTh on April 07, 2013, 07:26:11 AM
Yesterday i did some exploring local to the oil refinery i work at. Found some realy nice roads. Made my first video. I used a normal compact camera mounted on the left side handlebar. Not great quality but it works.

That looked a bit dodgy weather wise. Hope your Rukka gear kept you snug

Great pics J.T ...I think I would have been tempted to return to the warmer weather once I hit the snow.

Heated grips will help, a cheaper alternative which will help a little is to fit wind deflectors, which won't warm your hands but will help to keep cold wind away from them

Did you see the video? Cant say i was going very fast so not sure the wind deflectors would have had good efect

Johnny, nice video mate. Out of interest, where did you mount your camera.

Handle bar muffs would be best bet
