Have Sony Actioncam without casing inside my helmet on the side. It impairs vision on the RHS slightly, but who needs vision. After a year I don't have any interesting footage... just the usual, people grassy-parking over the reds.

I also use a Garmin Virb, side mounted, and record at 720p 60fps, that combo makes it look like I never look at the same thing for more than a few seconds, constantly moving.

I never get on my bike if I don't have at least one charged GoPro. Riding without my GoPro just makes me feel unsafe.
To work I only use the one mounted on my helmet. Weekends, when I start up my weekend bike I'll use one mounted on my bike facing backwards as well.

Now why would you do that to yourself? Watching those replays must make you very thankful to be alive at night

Although I knew it all and was prepared for it, I was not even asked to do the precheck..

Yeah they were just a bit more expensive with the typical excess structure.
Like to keep my stuff all in one place, but I would have loved to them if mine wasn't happy.

They only require 5 things from you. That's the mirrors, tyres, spokes of the wheels, chain and chain guard, and loose wires or oil under the bike, in no particular order. Just mention that all those has been checked, mirrors secured, chain is tightened and guard is on, tread at least 1mm deep, spokes are intact, and no oil, petrol or wires under the bike. That's it

Isn't there something about checking the choke as well? I distinctly remember thinking how outdated the checks were. Even on the above some bikes won't have spokes wheels or a chain and will always have oil on the engine (oil fill cap is on the cylinder head).
My CBR doesn't have spokes either, but I mentioned it anyway as the mark sheet required it. The choke I believe comes in when they as you to get on the bike and start it. With my bike being fuel injection, I just aid that it doesn't have a choke or fuel valve. I still have my mark sheet at home from when I did mine in July, I can send a picture of it if you guys want. Basically follow everything on there

Are you doing the test on your own bike? If so they will generally be more lenient on you.
Did you do it through Billy?
The "official" list seems quite long, like disc brakes, etc...
I've got them memorized as follows:
1.) Wheels - 3 things - Tread at 1mm, Side wall damage, spokes
2.) Check bike for damage, oil/petrol/loose wires underneath.
3.) Shocks for leaks
4.) Chain tension and guard
5.) Mirrors secure and not damaged
On Bike:
1.) Nuetral
2.) Ignition to on
3.) Kill Switch
4.) Choke
5.) Fuel Tap
6.) Start
Nope - hoping to shop next month, paying cash, so saving still.
Why would they be ore lenient on your own bike?
