Sony bullet cam from RF Concepts - mounted in the right hand side air conveyor with self-adhesive foam around the body to isolate it from the vibes.
Canon 830i/850i mini-dv cam (can't quite remember which one) mounted on the tank. You need a camcorder with an analogue input to use a bullet cam.

Alston to Brampton - the latter half of the A689 from Halton Lea Gate. Love it.

It's much much harder going out the way I did it...I found myself feathering the throttle a bit too often. Going towards Alston I'm quicker.

Croft video is great Nige, still looks good full screen but peeps need to be aware its a 170-odd Mb download....

Worth it though

Croft on my 800ss minitwin racer. I've posted this before, but I've moved server etc.

http://www.twpd.co.uk/videos/Croft_800ss_(small).avi

It's in DivX format so, you will need to install the DivX codec.
