I do!!

S**t, i cant get my wife on the back let aloan on the front!you lucky bugger! cool vid but with all those cameras i wonder what other motorist think.

You're a very fortunate man, Sir Rod. Take special care of that lady. As said in the old 'ermin's 'ermits song "Girls like 'er are really 'ard to find."

Very nice video. What do you use to mount the camera for the various shots?

i always ENJOY your vid's. Thanks

Another excellent video RodYork.

You really must take the time to tell us all how you do this things. I have visions of you hanging off the bike at all angles holding a video camara.

Thanks, Rod-
Sippin' my morning coffee, loving your view.

Very cool man. Whereabouts in Yorkshire ? I'm moving there this summer. i was there a couple of weeks ago and couldn't believe the number of bikes on teh roads. I asked some locals of there was a bike rally on or something there were so many but it's just the number of twisties up there.

Very cool Rod... you're getting rather good at this aren't you
Need to get Mandy through her test. Took Laura out for a short run for the first time today. She's only eleven but can virtually fit into Mandy's gear! She loved it!! Thinking either a sidecar or another bike...

Hi all and thanks for your comments- I decided to change the speed of the video, speeding it up and slowing it down for a number of reasons
1.The original video (Garbage-special) has a brilliant space ship/flash gordon theme which also has its speed altered ( garbage-Special )- I think this may have influenced me.
2.The tune selected is 3.25mins long and the video footage stretched over 60 minutes- selecting a theme to glue together the footage and give a fair representation of the ride meant either major cutting down or speeding up- no points for guessing which way I went- however- I am genuinely open to suggestions asto alternatives.
3.I too spotted the sheep (Harley riders) and hopefully plan to return one evening-one ..im sure gave me the eye..I just need to find my wellington boots.. she was lush!
5.I used a number of cameras and 1 bullet camera for the shoot. A number of clamps were used- but the most important thing isto get cameras with "steady shot"- or "image stabilisers"- The shoot was the most expensive to date as I lost a wideangled lens and a sony camcorder mini-dv of 3 years which gave up the ghost- resulting in no rear shots of overtakes ( seen in the later part of the other fazer video ( previous video with back shots & overtake ) - this not only miffed me off, but also limited my already limited directors options!
6.I was looking to offer an alternative motorbike video -as alot- although good- have just a front view through the screen. I did overdo the change of shot too much though- but this was down to no5
7.The shoot took place in Rosedale ( Rosedale,NorthYorkshire Moors ) which is the North Yortkshire Moors, also known for the Yorkshire TT at nearby Helmsley- where the farmyard party is due to take place (16th June)
8. I will take some shots of by bike with set up of clamps and post them here.(if you are into mechano or have any spare broom sticks and duct tape...dont throw it away!)

Finally- if anyone has seen any good vids/clips, where camera angles/tricks/split screens/ghosting etc are exploited, I would be keen to see them to try to improve!

thanks again for the input

Great vid, and you read my mind cause I was going to ask about the soundtrack, so thanks!

Just as well youre not Welsh Rod or that video could have become X-rated when the sheep appeared.I'm only kidding my Welsh Celtic brothers.Another great vid and your filming was one of the many reasons as to why i chose to ride an America.
