    Very impressive J.
    I must say I am jealous!
    I have never had my knee down, unless you count when I am at the side polishing it!

    Haha. How about that split second when I got my knee touching down before it broke. Does that count?

    Benthepig is probably the person to ask on the legality of it

    Good idea matey, it's not something I try to do all the time as you are usually quicker not doing it :)

    But it is nice to have a cheeky knee down now and then ;)

    Let me see how you do, will look cooler on a repsol I am sure :)

    One thing that might be worth trying, is silica gel sachets. We get boat loads of them in shoes for the shop, as they absord all moisture. I use them in my big camera bag, so see no reason wh they shouldn't do the same on a go pro. Only small problem is how the hell to get them into the housing though. If you want, I can send you some in the post to try.

    I'm going to give it a good wipe/hair dry before next time. It steamed up right at the end of about 40 min riding. I got about 1hr 45min of footage today but couldn't be arced sorting it all out, especially since I repositioned the camera after the H-cafe and it could see my speedo. I also might have been tagged by a speed camera van and I have that on film.

    Just out of interest, how many points do you get for 70-75 in a 50?

    I would imagine that you would be looking at £60 and 3 points. What a bunch of twots they are.

    That's very kind mate, but my wife just bought some MORE shoes, and there is some in there, will see if there is a way later on :)

    A woman that buys MORE shoes?? Never heard of that :D As I say, they work a treat on my big camera. Hopefully there is a way to get something in to the housing.

    Just seen this mate - awesome vid.

    wish my commute was the same, if i take the bike its 35 miles of traffic jam. cross country jaunt with some knee down before the daily grind would make the shite day ahead so much more bearable....
