Sorry to interrupt your minute analysis of a minor fender bender, but let's get back to our favourite topc - bikes vs cars

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsKdjuWK2Yw

Bunch of bikes ride around, one punches a car's mirror, the driver of the car quite reasonably speeds up, catches the bikers and attempts to detain them, bikers quite reasonably gather around and start beating the hell out of the driver, driver's passenger emerges with pistol. Blyad Florida.

Looks like it was around us-75 in uptown to me. Like I said, not surprising.

The BMW guy swerves in front of them at the start of the video. Pretty dangerous thing to do, regardless of how fast the bikers were going.

More that, car was changing lanes, sees motorcycle (cameraman) riding up the left, aborts lane change. Douchebro Mirrorpunch comes zipping up the side after the BMW started back, but instead of checking up, wants to be all "gently caress cagers, man." Then everyone decides to turn their brains off because Florida.

This video would have been even funnier if it was one of those car boats and as the new anchor is like "wtf", dude starts the prop and motors over the flood to the other side.

This has now gone on my "If I ever win the Powerball" list. Get the least boat-looking amphibious car I can and take it to flood-prone cities in the spring to gently caress with reporters.

Hell, if you've got one of those, just take it to the local boat ramp (towing a small POS rowboat) and really gently caress with people.

Oh yea, those have been on my list for a long time. I'd want to put a normal boat behind it, then back the whole thing in at the ramp just to watch people poo poo themselves. Need to figure out what to do with the trailer in that scenario though...

Mazda was an elderly driver with no idea what was going on afterwards. damage was from the front tyre forward, lights and washer bottle hanging out. I actually got sprayed by the washer bottle bursting as my window was down.

Since I loaned out my cam a few months back and it's looking like it's not coming back, time to get a new one. Last time I was looking the G1W was king, now it seems like the Mobius is the current recommended cam? For what it's worth, a fair chunk of my driving is done at night.

Has anyone tried to add solar charging to their cam setup?

Mobius if you want one that will work.

Never felt the need for solar charging, what with the giant lead acid battery and alternator already attached to the dashcam.

On a related note, I just realised that the last firmware update to the Mobius didn't keep my user-settings and so it hasn't been auto-starting for the past 2 months.

That's one big advantage to getting a cam with a little screen on the back. I can look and see the little red dot and have some indication that it's actually recording rather than just being powered on. My X1 came with buggy firmware and I probably would never have noticed otherwise.

The mobius has a little red led on the back that flashes when you turn it on, then stays on when you record.

I've gotten used to checking that it powers on (due to loose USB socket), but not to keep watching it to ensure the recording it has started, since I have set it to auto-record ever since I bought it.

Passed a car that must have just flipped over a few seconds ago, people were still stopping and running up to help the people still inside.

Still not sure how people are able to do this on flat, dry roads. Hell I've seen overturned cars during morning rush hour. Like, how the gently caress were you going over 20mph to begin with :shrug:

Protip, when leaving your bike idling in a dust storm, empty the air filters out before riding on. Also, classic "eerie wind" sound effect.
