Rubbish audio. I'm so furious that my old lav mic broke. I cobbled together a chin mount using spare parts I had lying around. It seems to be surprisingly stable. I just need to refine the viewing angle a bit ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Isejt983j3M
This video was a test of a new microphone setup with a voice recorder I bought of Amazon. Not only did the device completely stop working after one day, it did not record time properly so audio sync was an absolute nightmare. The quality wasn't too bad, although because I had the microphone in my jacket instead of my helmet, it made hearing my commentary difficult as I wasn't speaking quite loud enough. But the wind noise is almost inaudible.

Today I'm doing SCIENCE!
(No, not really)
On the spur of the moment I decided to see how much the headwind I was riding into impacted the performance of the bike after it struggled to break 95km/h going one way down this road. When I turned around with the wind behind me I was able to hit 100km/h more easily, without tucking in either direction.
Except on a slight hill. 10HP is not enough to deal with a slight hill.

This is a gravel section of Grand Ridge Road, a tourist route not terribly far from home.
I'm still struggling with the audio quality but it is a work in progress.
I realise that the GoPro is sitting too low on my chest mount which was fine for bicycle videos but not so much for this, unless you particularly like the view of the fuel tank and the dash. I've since adjusted the straps on the chest mount for the upcoming video, which gives a better view of the road.

It'll do 100km/h on flat roads, but the slightest hill or headwind and it will really struggle to maintain that speed. It can do 80km/h all day long in any conditions, it seems, but anything over this and you'll find yourself fighting for every kilometre per hour over.
I've put about 1,500 kilometres on the clock so far.

I'll be honest, I'm going to milk the algo for all it's worth with this one!
In the slow mo, you can see me twist the throttle which is what made the rear kick out in the patch of soft powder I had mistaken for clay.

This is not a product review. But my new lav mic that was literally twice the price of my old one is absolute rubbish quality.
I'm uploading this video to feed the algorithm.
