ACT20 HD Bullet Cam Test on SYM VTS200

Image
Usable, shaky and watery due vibration but definitely usable. For the price its okay. Colour on the more vibrant side and darker, this can be altered by software for this shot no touch up done. Below the D011 Bullet Camera video to compare, that the elchepo at VGA quality.

HD Bullet Cam Bigger Brother to EL Chepo Mini DV

Image
Just arrived yesterday and excited to see how it perform. Nice packaging with glossy photos thrown in. This what's in the box a bullet camera, manual and some accessories came with it. Head strap, arm strap, bike holder, pouch, lanyard and charger. I opt not to take the car kit. Without the car kit the price is just a bit cheaper. A small camera, slightly thicker than the elcheapo cam as previous post . Only one button to operate with waterproof screw cap on the back. Unscrew it and there's a micro SD slot, a reset button and mini USB connector. It has an O ring for waterproof this back screw cap. Screw cap lens on front hide the actual pinhole camera and its a Perspex lens. Again there's an O ring on the front cap to ensure no water can get in. Its rated to IP65 so its water resistance not waterproof after all not like my Kodak Zx3 That's the pin hole camera with lens removed. That tiny hole forward of that big black button is the mic. You could see the circuit board m...

When you are in Kota Kinabalu, you look for this mountain. The Mount Kinabalu.. that odd shape crown in the distance.

Milah Re-handle

Image
I am replacing the handle back to original due weakness in the new handle yoke neck and it could be dangerous. I like the above handle bar very much, less vibration and better for my riding position, however the material that the yoke is made is not to my liking so it need to be fix, so in the mean time I am using the old original bars. Below photos of the affected item that made me change the handle bar.  It was made from inferior material so need to go.  Stressed material and weaken by flexing and vibration. I will need to manufacture or fabricate locally this part so that it will be strong. Best to machine it of Aluminium so that it can be stronger that this one.  Just photos of installation and few measurements taken for future reference.  More measurements  Its a 24mm post.    Original handle  Above the post for handle yoke. Above original handle bar yoke, I need to make something similar from Aluminium.  All wiring and hoses need to be ...

Kawasaki Versys 1000

Image
What can I say, Kawasaki just throw in another bombshell. The 1000cc version of the ever popular Versys 650. Looks good, 650 price on the road about 36k this one will surely be close to 80k. Has mixed feeling about this bigger cc bike for adventure tour. On a long ride, let say 12 hours or more.. we will be very tired to handle this bike. A smaller cc may be easier to handle, furthermore its not speed that's count on a long journey it reliability and personal endurance. Traction control, ABS and many more electronics gizmos, scared me for long distance ride. Theirs reliability need testing and as they say.. the more complicate a bike is the more chances for it to break. I love the look of Versys but for my purpose and financial sense I may settle for it little brother.

BMW C650GT

Image
We know that C1 was BMW attempt in making a scooter, but it was a concept that never took off. Over engineer on safety with roll cage and make it not practical for pillion. Now this is another scooter from BMW, a departure from C1 and more like currently available scooters from  all other maker. Looking at the video, this Beemer Scoot has that distinctive sound of a BMW, those whine almost like from the 800s. Need to check the specification and see for sure what engine they are using for this.
