I filmed and editted a short video of my bike this evening. At first I just wanted to record the sound of the drilled pipes, but then I started getting into it a bit. This is my first attempt at a bike video.

Thanks for the encouragement, guys. :-)

For the first ride, I put the camera in my tank bag map pocket, because I wanted to record the sound of the pipes w/o the wind noise. The second time I took along a tripod, which I strapped to the seat with a bungee net. I figured I could use the tripod as a make-shift boom for onboard ride video. The tripod was also used for the road-side clips.

Thanks. My pipes have about 1" holes knocked out of the baffles.

I made the video so I could get a sense of how loud they are to others. I was surprised at how low and bassy they sound at lower rpm's, and I concluded that they aren't overly loud at higher rpm's.

Yeah I sort of guessed that, I got a mate to ride mine, told him to give it the berries, it tends chirp, when you give it full throttle. Should be better with the three into one on it, I had a listen to one of those, sounds awesome. If I can figure out the technology Ill do a sound bite when I get it fitted. And pictures of course.

Epherta, PA! There are some nice roads up there. I thought I recognized the landscape. How fast were you going when the cam was on the passanger seat?

Nice shot of the telephone poles from under your chin; very interesting angle.
