Commando Video Ride Test

Sorry it's sideways. I've never really played with video on my phone, but was inspired to try it by the other post. I've tried with several different converters to rotate the video and no matter what I do, it seems it messes up the video one way or another when I rotate it. I'll play with it some more and get it figured out. Also, with this being the first time, I couldn't really tell where the video was pointing at first so the first few seconds are of the asphalt...

Just lean to the left as you watch it. :?

Oh, and yes I know the speedo isn't working. I need a new drive gear. Just haven't gotten around to ordering one...

Actually, I have no idea what's up with my phone. I mean, the motor is noisy like Norton motors are, but my cell phone was making everything sound incredibly loud. Even the exhaust sounds to me like straight pipes on this video. They are actually fairly quiet as they have new fiberglass packing in them. It's like my cell was amplifying everything... :?

Thanks Dave. What did you use to flip it and compress it? I don't have all of the video editing software on this lap top that I had in the past. Every "free" one I downloaded last night would flip and compress the video but make the sound go away or I'd have sound and no video, or it wouldn't play at all. I tried about 3 "free" programs...

iMovie, which you probably can't get. :mrgreen:

But of course if you use the YouTube editing tools you can rotate too.

That's called a California Rolling Stop. You slow for the intersection and tap the brake to demonstrate good intentions. If there are no cops around, go!

So when are you going to hook up the speedo cable?? It didn't even move at the start of the video.

Actually the speedo cable IS hooked up. The speedo drive gear at the rear wheel is fried and needs replacing.....
