    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Camera Mount

I fashioned a camera mount for the passenger peg so I could take video of my rides.



Consists of:
1 PVC T fitting
1 PVC threaded plug
1 1" 1/4-20 machine screw with nut and locking washer
2 hose clamps

Simply drill a hole in the plug for the screw, drop it in and secure it, slice the T fitting in two, screw in the plug, and voila! The photo above shows it on my Silver Wing, but it works on all my bikes, including the GS. (Word of caution - apply some kind of anti-slip to the inside of the PVC, like rubber, if your footpeg has none of its own, or else you'll be getting upside-down video!)

Here's a quick video I made on my GS750 today:

You will want to make a plastic cover for it if you want it to last very long. ;)
Personal experience. :o

Very slick idea to make a light weight camera mount out of PVC pipe to adapt to a camera's tripod mount. I wonder if it could safely hold a light DSLR if clamped around a frame tube? That might be the ticket for hi res still photos on the move.

As for video I've been using a Gopro HD cam for the last year and have been amazed at the results. Theire's a HD 2 available now and, from talking with friends who have used both, the new one offers even more resolution.

Kudos again on the very clever mount.
 
Just be careful here is my mount gone bad.

Nice, cheap, creative mount. :clap: :clap:

Too bad so much of the picture is blocked by the bike and your leg. :(

Yes my Canon Elf survived. Canon's are tough, I dropped my G2 on a concrete floor had a small dent and it still years later works.
Here is another video of my 77 Guzzi Lemans when I just got it running. Camera was sitting on wife's car.
