I thought the techno one was amusing: trying to jazz-up a slow scooter ride on A roads Noticed at 1:39 the Liberty's engine cut out as i came to a stop behind the black car, and had to restart...
Of course now all our number plates are see-able to YouTube, isn't there an automatic pixellator?

good point about pixellerator, i wonder if such a tech exists for youtube or windows movie creator... i could use that
woozy, careful with the auto stop functionality. I heard a lot of battery drain issues about it.
On another note, my belt light is still not on :O and i'm over 24900 miles now (supposed to come on about 24840) so i'm divided in between hanging on for a while longer and waiting for the light to show up and just getting it done...
I did change my battery recently, but i assume that shouldn't affect any service light intervals, should it?

Good video. I realise its speeded up but it looks a dangerous place to ride.
That bit at 1.35 where it filters your lane left then makes you merge back into the right all of a sudden.
Must be scary for learners!
Then the push bike ignoring the lights and the scooter going past at 16.55.
He didn't wave !!

you get loads of push bike riders making up their own rules in london
i took the following footage on the way into work this morning, its the first time i tried filtering all the way since i started commuting and on a bike above 50cc 4 weeks ago
i get sooo nervous with oncoming traffic and riding on white lines, as all of you seem to have lots of experience how was my nervous filtering, thanks
Edit: video was too long. youtube used to allow much longer videos
part 1
part 2
still too long ffs, fu YT

That's at the entrance of blackwall tunnel. I think it was there all the time but only recently traffic started to be routed through there. It's the first time i've been on that lane.

Mystery solved... I re-checked service documents, and realised the belt was done at 12480, which means the light is not due to come on until 24960 miles. It's currently reading 24926, so it's nearly there... If it was a nice summer night out, i'd have gone for a quick ride to make up the miles so that i can get it done tomorrow, but i'll have to stick to my normal commute for now.
Anyway, it's only 34 miles to go, which means, counting my daily 26 mile route, i'll have the light on by Friday, which is a good day to get it done...
