Maybe I Should Invest In a Dash Cam

Noisy, yes by choice, but smelly???

Sure didn't smell bad the time I ran out of gas and ended up having to use olive oil as a 2-stroke mix.
And there was some normal 2-stroke oil that also smelled very good.

WTF Jimmie...Olive oil..GTF outta here...and it ran...let me guess..ya grease yer pizza pans with WD-40...

Well, it wasn't by choice. Stranded along a road a car eventually stopped, he had gas but obviously not 2-stroke oil. Had Italian or Greek plates as I recall, so I wasn't surprised when he pulled out a can of olive oil from the trunk, with a big grin. Major language barrier, too, by the way.

Figgered I'd stop at the first gas station I saw and dump that concoction, but the bike ran just fine so I used the tank up.

WD-40? I wouldn't use that stuff even on your squeaky joints, let alone something that matters.

I have various versions of the Blackvue 2ch cameras.

(A main head unit with a 2nd slave unit, it automatically records 2 streams from the two units, each independently viewable)

I'm not sure how much I do or don't recommend Blackvue as a whole. When they first came out, for me the appeal was the physical form factor. The performance was by comparison good relative to others, but still didn't, or also still doesn't live up to my expectations.

This is a fun link to my first Blackvue (Hellcat)

My second Blackvue (Power Wagon)

M6's are sooo much fun. And with any HC, it sucks to have to hit the brakes at the top of the entrance ramp!

Yer stranded on a road...(you live in the middle of nowhere)....and a Greek or Italian shows up with a can of olive oil...was this before..or after they legalized weed..

Would you believe that it happened before I moved to the USA?

Do these cams have an easily accessible ON/OFF switch?

If it does have a simple OFF switch, are the cloud capable one's still sending data to the cloud when you shut it OFF?

Otherwise, the cam is documenting YOU as well as traffic ...

Unplug it.
And you’re right, another device recording you… but it’s also recording your wife, so if you want to win that fight when you get home you can pull the tape and play it back for her.
