I said 4th as Ive had several failed attempts at getting a good point of view video...

And yes on its 1st maiden voyage after pulling engine and trans to replace every bearing inside the trans as it had a bad knock I ran outa gas haha.

So heres its 4th possibly 5th maiden voyage! I'm happy with the way everything runs and stops (still gotta adjust the brakes a tad) so now I feel really comfortable moving onto body work.

and how did I take such a video you ask? Well I was researching gopro style action cameras and had an idea: take an old hat, drill a 1/4" hole in the visor and mount camera to visor - the human body is essentially a big shock absorber so no vibrations to worry about and keeps my hands free. The wind was a major factor in my video attempts - youtube to the rescue by making your own windsock hence the metal bracket (coated in electrical tape to prevent screen scratches) and piece of closed cell foam. It lets noise thru but stops windflow to the mic.

it aint stupid if its free and works!
