Is a stupid name for an action camera.

But it is a brilliant little thing that lets you place the tiny camera on the bike or your helmet, and the control box and screen where you can see and reach it 👍🏆

It is easy to start and end recording when riding your bike, and the software to edit the footage and transfer the finished clip to your phone is excellent.

Easily the best (and most expensive) action camera I have ever had 😎👍

GPS bracket …

It was not particular easy to make a proper bracket for the Garmin Zumo XT on the Honda NT1100, and it took some serious dismantling of the bike to connect the power supply to the bikes harness.

The Apple Carplay feature on the NT1100 is nice, but for me it is not a substitute for a real GPS system.

It was worth the hard work and I’m very pleased with the result.

Custom made ear plugs …

3D printed and with a special filter to cancel out wind noise frequencies.

It is still a couple of months before the weather permits motorcycle riding again, but I’m definitely looking forward to test the new ear plugs 👍🏍️

Throttle holder …

I do not need a fancy electronic cruise control, but on long transport stretches, it is nice to be able to lock the throttle and relax the right hand grip.

I tried a lot of different solutions (home made devices, bought products, modified products) and most of them failed to be perfect, because they could not apply sufficient friction to avoid the throttle from closing slowly.

Long story short: Go Cruise 2 is the only one that works perfectly out of the box – the rest of them are now in the dust bin.

It just shows how much hidden engineering it takes to make simple solutions brilliant 🏆
