Cheers Fixit. I have an old Oregon something or other with lousy battery life that I don't use anymore. I bought BSM the GoPro 4 for his birthday last year and ended up replacing our feeble laptop with a Mac to cope with video processing!
I could do with a decent but affordable cam on my bike. A BMW hatch diver very nearly (deliberately) took me out half a mile from home yesterday. It was totally unprovoked and particularly malicious. It left me pretty shaken and very angry. Sadly, we had no cams on board and BSM was two cars back and missed it. I just hope when the passenger looked into my eyes, they reported to the driver that he'd tried to injure someone's grandma.
We deal with careless and incompetent drivers on a daily basis but it's very rare for us to have near misses. I'd like to think our observation skills help keep those incidents to the bare minimum. Sadly there's little that can be done about a small number of mentally deranged and psychotic drivers, but video footage may have been useful.

You don't need balls to ride a big bike.
