266mb email!
I don't think that's going to work too well.

How about I pick up the CD, are you working in the city?
How about we meet up and you give it to me? (never under estimate the bandwidth of sneaker-net)

Yeh I thought 266 may be a bit big. I could probably meet you at Penfolds tomorrow sometime if you like  

that sounds cool. Penfolds tomorrow it is. The one on Pitt St right?

Is that 266mb a copy of the whole day?

If I give you a VHS tape, can you put it onto that for me?

I'll post the photos I took tonight.

And I'll see if I can get the video cut into a format that I can upload and post.

cool
yep its the full day, I can do transfer to tape no problem
Penfolds on Pitt st just give me a call and Im about 5 mins away, Ive got a copy here today but I'll do another with the pictures I took as well.
 

Hi lads!
That was a good ride yesterday! Went far faster around corners than prev though from the pace you lot were doing I have along way to go! Just gotta remember to trust the bike... Anyways thanks again and im hanging out for the next one.
Matt86, got your pm cheers! Hopefully next ride we can go down your way. Might be going climbing down Nowra soon so will drop you a line and we can go for a ride.

from the pace you lot were doing I have along way to go! (quote)

I wouldn't say that, I thought you were riding really well   considering you only had 700Ks on the clock you're well ahead of others I have ridden with when they were at that point

I got a copy of the video from the weekend from Lukewarm, it's pretty good  

I'm going to see if I can chop out the good stuff, put some music on it and compress is a bit and get it posted for all the Yanks to enjoy.

I just remembered that I took some photos as well. I'll have to get them off my camera

Hey Panik!
THanks for that, I have bought a copy for my album. Appreciate it. Looking forward to seeing the video! Cant wait till we do another ride up there. Im heading up on Friday if anyone has time off to practice for next time. Damm that was good fun.  

Thanks for the Links Panik the pictures are great ,
I managed to find a pict of me on deenopix from  2nd of May its a good one so I may have to buy it.
There was also a picture of Ben on his BMW with Muldoons picture, think we'll have to keep an eye on that site for more pictures of us and try harder when we get to that corner. :lol:
Muldoon would love to come on friday but alas working :x
see you all next time      

Hi Guys,
wow I love the pics :mrgreen:  :mrgreen: you guys look like you are having lots of fun I can not wait to see the vid. How long did it take to ride up there.

Ok, I don't think these links will work straight off, and I can't test them from home because they are on this computer, and I'm inside my router  

right click on the links and select "Save target as..." to download and save them to your own computer first.

This is the highlights video:
http://144.132.204.29/GS500OldRd052004.WMV: 15mb
try this link if the 1st one doen't work: http://144.132.204.29:81/GS500OldRd052004.WMV
It's basically the 220mb video, compressed, with the boring bits cut out.
It's a pity that the best bits were ruined by slower cars

<EDIT> These links still don't work, they may later though

This is Mark and Ben going back from the brooklyn bridge (?) to Pie in the Sky, at about 110km/h  
http://144.132.204.29/GSBridge2Pie.WMV: 7mb
try this link if the 1st one doesn't work. http://144.132.204.29:81/GSBridge2Pie.WMV
This is probably the best section of the whole day, it looks awesome. My only complaint is Mark got lazy and straightened out the last corner or two  
It's higher quality, which is why it's about 20% of the length, but only 50% of the size.

Let me know if the links work, if they don't I'll try and fix them up over the next few days. Once the links are working, I'll post them in the main forum, and on gs500e.co.uk

Panik  

My only complaint is Mark got lazy and straightened out the last corner or two  

BMW has more torque up the hill had to cheat a little    haven't tried link yet  as im a cheap bastard and have limited download MB and getting close to end but if it works put it on the main board, be interested to see what people think :dunno:
I've made a slightly different version with titles and bits cut out etc I'll see if I can compress it and send it to you, if I can work it out been a bit lazy of late  :lol:
Anyway see you all next time  

cool. if you can't compress it, I'll get it off you and do it.

If those links don't work I can post the movies somewhere else, but it won't be on my own web space, so they can't stay there.

I'll have to setup a proper webserver at home, but if those links don't work, either my PC is off, or the firewall isn't configured properly.

bloody bigpond and their 10mb space limit, and 100mb download limit on personal websites  :x

tried compressing it but it just keeps coming out in a 2"*2" screen and not very clear :x
so if you want to pick up a copy a can drop one off to you again and Muldoon if you want a copy let me know and I can send one off or wait till our next ride and give u a copy then  

Ok

Here is the movie of Mark and Ben going from the Brooklyn (?) bridge/kangaroo point to Pie in the Sky.

It can't stay where it is for long, so get it while it's hot!

Hi panik,

Man thats some good  riding    Will you be postung the others? I would love to see them :mrgreen:

all the best matt  your friend
Thank-you for share it

That looks great! Well done y'all. Have a good long w/end everyone. Off to the mountains climbing so will have to organise a ride for the weekend following.  

Quote from: matt86toMan thats some good  riding    Will you be posting the others? I would love to see them :mrgreen:

I had a look at the other movie that I cut together, and wasn't that impressed with it   Too much traffic. :dunno:
There are some good moments though, but I think that what I posted was the best stuff. Also I don't own that webspace, so I can't post too much until I can get my own webserver running.

I think that it would be worth trying a more "choreographed" session. pick a nice windy (uphill?) section of road that takes about 2 minutes to ride (>3km long?). Sort out an order (slowest to fastest?), and then ride it flat out a couple of times when there is no traffic around.

Two cameras would be good, that way we could cut 2 or 3 runs into 1, using the best shots, and also do some shooting from the roadside.
I think that having 2 or 3 bikes in frame, following close behind each other, makes a really cool image, especially when you rarely see anything like that on the net.

I don't know if you guys want to put this much effort into it, but I've been thinking about it

funny you should say that as ive been thinking on one of these for my camera, its not an extra camera but would make for some interesting angles.

he has sold a couple generally under $200 so if we were to set up a day just for filming find a spot with good surroundings and plenty of foot path area to film from that would come out quite  
What do you all think? Mind you I do like the two camera idea  

Hi panik,
ok , I know that I did not go on the ride ( I just love watching Bike Vids) .
I really I like your idea about the (choreographed) I was wondering since nobody been on a ride this weekend , if you guys might like to head south down maybe we could meet up at Campbell-town and head to the Rob Pie Shop  for a Quick bite & go from there to Moss Vale & down to Kangaroo Valley for an quick bite ( If we want) con on down to Nowra for Lunch. To go back up to Sydney maybe go to Berry (A very nice Ride) , Kiama bends ( Nice :mrgreen: ) it's just an idea :mrgreen: take care & Safe Riding

all the best matt your friend
19 or 20 good for me :mrgreen:
