Barkinglizard brought up a great question that led to why I installed dash cams in both my bike and truck. The answer was to show what happened when something in traffic happens. As most of us know, those situations can frequently lead to "he said / she said" when the police or insurance become involved.I think a more important question is: why do you want to do video the road?
thanks for sharing this. that is definitely a plus at having a video going.Barkinglizard brought up a great question that led to why I installed dash cams in both my bike and truck. The answer was to show what happened when something in traffic happens. As most of us know, those situations can frequently lead to "he said / she said" when the police or insurance become involved.
Examples: A risk in city driving all too regularly comes from idiots changing lanes into another vehicle, which can become "he said / she said" cases. I bring one up because it happened several cars in front of me last night. More common are parking lot disputes. In another example of a couple weeks ago in Baltimore, my 6'3" moose son was standing in a parking lot waiting for me and his wife and a driver literally tried to nudge past him to get into a parking spot. Amazingly, the ass cut the wheel hard and then stopped with a front tire on my son's foot as my son realized what was happening - fortunately wearing his steel toe work boots. Tim got his foot free and tempers exploded as the driver said my stepped in front of his car and threatened to call the police if we didn't leave. I pointed out the dash cam in the truck which just shut down the argument, the asshole didn't say another word, left in a huff, and screeched into another parking spot that opened up. I've been rear-ended twice while commuting for 30+ years and was fortunate that neither resulted in controversy, but people in DC all too frequently pull U turns in front of oncoming traffic. What if the offender takes off after knocking me down?
In addition to shutting down arguments, the dashcams will have the license plate for the police and collision for the insurance.
That's why I have uninsured motorist. It sucks but it's the world we live in.The camera helps but their still the uninsured, underinsured. I have a creed I try to live by. What ever goes down after I throw my leg over my bike is my fault. I have to live with the consequences.
Agreed as usual!An action camera makes for a lousy dash cam.
This and the one I got are super generic at this point.Thanks for starting this thread. I was at the motorcycle show a few weeks back and saw this setup:

I'm very much considering it. Drive cams can be good or bad. But the way hit and runs are happening these are something to consider.

Front and rear cameras. Here's a full thread: https://www.yamahasupertenere.com/index.php?threads/onboard-traffic-video-recorder.23210/Anyone using a full time camera on your bike? If you are, what model, where do you have it mounted, do you have a remote control to start and stop? Pictures would be great!
I've a hero 7 Black for some time now, not really "full time" mounted, but easily on and off the bike in seconds, just see pics :Anyone using a full time camera on your bike?
