Hey wibby, I was just on JustKdx searching, and I saw that you're profile was deleted. What did you do? Did you get IP banned, because i make new accounts if mine get deleted.

Post by **Mr. Wibbens** » 04:13 pm Feb 04 2007

I was banned a couple years ago

They did not like one of my posts (well prolly more'n one) so I posted "Well excuse me!"

And I was banned, and then all of a sudden my fender caught on fire

I don't care for Nicholas Cage, and I don't want to see that one.

Post by **Mr. Wibbens** » 11:46 pm Feb 04 2007

Yes, and that white stuff is snow and ice and very slippery

Post by **Indawoods** » 11:49 pm Feb 04 2007

Battery went dead before we rode the good stuff, and we went on some pretty sweet stuff. Found one trail that just ended, we may go back up there and do a little trailblazing of our own!

We were mostly scouting yesturday anyway, trying to learn the lay of the land. It's kinda unnerving dumping off on some trail that goes steeply down into a canyon and not knowing if there is an alternative route out or will you have to ride up the same gnarly P.O.S. you just went down

Some of the stuff, while being wide, I would not call it a road, maybe a skidder trail. Hard to tell but some of it is pretty steep

I get ya.... not many canyons round these parts....

Wonder if they'll ever make a Bluetooth camera/recorder setup?

That would be way cool, sez me!

looks great but, I heard that hard deive were no good cuz of vibration

Post by **Mr. Wibbens** » 12:19 am Feb 05 2007

I carry my ipod in my tank bag on my vstrom, when I go trips

Has not hurt it any yet. Last trip I did over 250 miles of washbordy gravel, mostly at high speed

Recorder should not recieve much vibration mounted on your body anyway

I know for a fact that they will NOT record smoothly. You will get skips and crackles unless you find a super dooper model that has at least a 10mb buffer, still I doubt it would be as faultless as SD. I have a new camera 520TV line and a 720x480 recorder (SD) on the way for testing. PLAYING and RECORDING are very different as it doesn't use half the buffer to play as it does to record (figures guesstimated). They may have gotten better in the last 1.5yrs since I tested some. Another person I know with a HDD type recorder had his die after 4 rides, got another, lasted a bit longer (4 months) and also died. His brothers which is used for data tranfers and MP3's is still going strong.

Those Archos things look pretty cool but I'd still be concerned about the built in mic. From my testing you really need your mic in your backpack or (like I have mine) tucked in the helmet where your ear sits to prevent bad wind noise.

I found a site where you can host files upto 100mb and they seem to retain their quality.

A short 90mb loop. You can right click and save or view online.

Apparently you CAN use 4gb SD cards.

Heres a raw sample of the camera also.
