The smoke has dissipated somewhat today....but we did make it to 102f in the shade...🥵

Looks like they received some rain ...sturgis surrounding area yesterday...I guess the devil's tower area was closed off due to fires...

This is what I've got going on today...trying the find a good place to fitt the cam on the bike...did a small test run yesterday wearing it has a magnetic necklace...but mostly everything is blocked out by the wind jammer....it's either going on the lower fairing or the windscreen...the windscreen is tinted...so I've got to check out if it's to dark for filming...

As a tip, @Marcel, the farther back on the bike you fit it, the more speed sensation you will get on the video. If you fit it up front showing nothing of the bike the video will feel very slow.

Try a rear panier or the side of the topcase, facing towards the front of the bike.

Does it have image stabilisation? If not then the place with the least vibration the better otherwise it's unwatchable. A lot of action cams have built in software to take out the vibration but you can also do it with processing software afterward. 

The image stabilisation on the likes of GoPro and Insta is very good.

You need a chase mount.

Back to the workshop, or back to you?

It's a Ducati, so probably back to the workshop.

I have been looking at oil. The Castrol 5w40 I have always used on the GS has changed last year or something like that. It might or might not have helped the bike get a little bit of oil consumption.

So, over the next few days it'll have Liqui Moly 5w40 Street Race put in, it's a highly detergent oil. Then in September I'll be going to Ireland to visit a few friends. Sometime in October or November or December I shall go to Morocco so probably need to change before that. That oil change will probably see Ravenol 5w40 put in, Ester based. 

We'll see how that goes, I'm hoping for some improvement. Worst case scenario is it stays the same.
