Ha, it felt like it sometimes on my HT..

The lack of rear shock and the entry-level front shock made for a very tiring day indeed..

My arms were in pieces by the end..

Yep, starving today... Eaten loads :)

Bike was certainly put through it's paces.. As you said, if it could speak.... Well, there'd be a lot more expletives in the footage and not from me ;)

Shame footage is so shaky, wonder if I can make the mount better as the angle seems good (apart from the slight aim to the left which I noticed in the footage and have now rectified)

Good work on the vids but the shutter roll and position on the bars makes it quite....intense viewing! Looks like it was dryish and you took in some good trails!

Hopefully sorted camera shake as have modified the mounting onto the frame... Will test again for my early morning local run tomorrow (unfortunately can't do Epping as have too much planned for me for tomorrow)

Fingers crossed..

Couple of factors, shooting video on a HT is always jumpy on rooty/rocky trails.

Its the camera or the card, it just cant handle high speed frame rates, how much was the camera?

These trails look brilliant, even though there bumpy, great vids.

Is there anymore planned ? ... If someone is going from Westcliff area that could fit me and the bike in would be great.

I have an MR2 and yet to find a bike rack to fit it lol

Which MR2? Look at the old MGF racks or older MG sites, you'll be amazed what people attach to them.

The Mk3, newest shape ... will try and check the mgf racks out.

You can get luggage racks for it, but mine has a spoiler which negates them.

Unfortunately, Ive no more trips planned, -cj-

Paul from gorrick 12/12 got his bike on the back of a motorbike so you must be able to fit it in a car :)

Wheels, pedals, seat/seatpost off, stem off or loosened and turned 90degrees then on the back seat or in to bike bag if you want to protect the interior.

I've had a couple of them, and there really is no room, with a spoiler though I think its going to be a wasted search. Time to buy a sensible estate car :wink:
