It’s a sound unlike any other.
Break the mould just this once.
This isn’t a weekly update, but I am compelled to post for many reasons. The first of which starts with the photo above. There is several things wrong with this photo. I wonder if you can see what?
No? Yes? Let me tell you.
The first thing you can see is that this is a motorcycle, obviously. And it’s travelling on gravel. Now, that’s no big deal, but let me elaborate. This, as you can see by the screen identification, is a man named Jed Heath. I’ve never met Jed so I don’t really know much about him. But I know that he shouldn’t be on a motorcycle like this, in some gravel. And he especially shouldn’t be travelling at the speed he was travelling at when he reached the hairpin gravel section of Knockhill Racing Circuit, near Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland, UK. You’ll also note, he’s not braking.
I was at Knockhill this weekend with Rossy Boyo for the Jock Taylor Superprix, a celebration of Mr. Taylor winning the sidecar world championships in 1980. There was the usual support series including the GP400′s, which is what Jed Heath was riding.
We had started the weekend at the pit straight, followed by the bottom of the Seat Curves and the Scotsman, taking photos and getting our techniques in to shape. We drove around eventually to the “Carlube” corner and found it to be a bit lax, although the loudspeaker system which pumps out some irritating twat fumbling his way through times and interviews at obscene volumes was broken, so it offered us a bit of a rest. Following the completion of the Superstock 600′s in which our very own Stuart Jackson (of Jackson’s Bikes) was racing, we headed around to the hairpin for some closer in action shots, and some shade from the sun beating down upon our (or at least my) reddening faces.
The sidecars spun their way around and finished quickly. A man with a small boy turned up with a Nikon camera (with a stumpy looking lens) and a laptop of all things. No bags, just those two items…and his wee boy.
The 400′s, Forgotten Era’s and the 125′s headed out on track at once and I decided to switch to black and white on my camera to try and get some nice oldy looking shots with the Forgotten Era bikes. I was shooting in JPG as well, meaning these black and white’s were baked in to the files (instead of RAW where you can remove the black and white setting should you want to…)ANYWAY. I mention this only to make it clear that I didn’t translate these following photos in to black and white for “effect”, for impact or show. It was just unfortunately the setting I was in when this happened.
So they went round a few times to get their tyres warmed up a bit and the grid set up and off they went. I moved a bit further up the hairpin whilst Ross stayed close to the outer edge of it. The man with the small child/laptop was in between us. And then it happened.
I was locked on to Jed which was strange in itself as I had been resting my now knackered arms in between the Forgotten Era bikes going past. But I had my camera to my face and was locked on to Jed and I was immediately aware that something wasn’t right. Usually by the time they get to the hairpin you can see the front diving and the sound of hard braking, rev’s getting lower possibly some tyre screech. With Jed however, when I locked on to him his bike was still going as fast, there was no dive of the front, no reduction of engine pitch.
My camera was on continuous shooting mode but for some reason it takes two very quick photos, there’s a wee pause and then a third photo. It’s not really “continuous” in any sense of the word. I took the first of the two quick photos as he entered the sand trap. The next quick photo captured the photo above. The next photo, after the short pause, showed him or rather a wheel of his bike, sticking out of the now seriously inflated air fence.
Jed hit that fence with a sound that, like all things of horrific nature, isn’t heard anywhere else. We all knew how serious this could be and my initial reaction, after the air fence impact photo, was to turn to Ross who looked at me with such horror that I swear I have never seen before in anyone. The sound was that of a motorcycle going past you, flat throttle with no increase or decrease of pitch, with some gravel noises thrown in and then a hollow “boffffffffffff”. Then silence. No “OH MY’s” or sweary words. Just silence.
We watched together as the marshals whipped across that gravel barely touching the surface and were in that air fence before the fence came back down. Red flags were being waved ferociously as the other racer’s continued on unaware of Jed’s fate. A few seconds later, after rooting around deep within the tyre fence, a man emerged and stood up, resting himself on the airfence beside his impact point. A collective sigh of relief washed down the spectators box and Ross walked over, shouting how certain he was that Jed was dead. “You can’t go in to a fence at that speed and survive.”
And he was right. Jed was travelling at full speed when he skipped across the gravel and hit that fence. It’s a long straight leading up to that hairpin and these 400′s are quick. How he is standing there, talking to the paramedics, who had arrived shortly afterwards, is a miracle.
We had a moment of reflection, Ross and I, as we watched the bloke get his laptop out the case, and then proceed to upload a photo, presumably of the crash, to somewhere. Instant coverage…
Our day was coming to an end anyway by this point but we watched a few more races and then headed back to the paddock to speak to Stuart before heading home.
I got home and after having a shower and my tea, I sat down to transfer my day’s catch on to the computer. I was interested to see how the black and white ones came out, as well as my longer exposure ones (the really blurred fast looking ones).
And then Jed’s sequence appeared on screen.
It’s been a bit of a thinker for me tonight as I cropped these photos for YamYam. In the photographs of Jed travelling across the gravel, I can see his eyes in one. I said to Em, “This would have a completely different significance had Jed not been so lucky” to which she replied, “you’re full of joy tonight.”
But it’s true. In any number of ways Jed could have not have been so fortunate. His bike could have skipped up at the last minute making him miss the air fence…etc. etc. And this photo would have been the last moment of his existence. His last point of being in the world.
On every Knockhill ticket it states “WARNING MOTORSPORT CAN BE DANGEROUS. Despite the organisers taking all reasonable precautions, unavoidable accidents can happen. In respect of these, you are present at your own risk.”
“…you are present at your own risk”.
I couldn’t help think that the risk involved for us isn’t getting hit by a flying motorcycle or car, it is having to possibly watch someone die in front of us. I mean, I enjoy racing, I enjoy watching it and despite the slightly demonic inclination, I enjoy when people crash (don’t try and take the moral high ground here either, I know you like a good crash or two). But as long as they get up I can feel ok about it, I mean they know what they are getting in to. Right?
Right. But in the same token, this weekends racing made me really think about what these guys bet every time they get on that track. This wasn’t a professional race, it was probably a Dentist or Accountant on his weekend thrill seeker. And the moments before his demise would have been crystallised in startlingly clear digital pixels on my amateur camera in my amateur hands.
Despite the enjoyment I get from motorcycle racing, I don’t know if I like the risks involved, if I’m honest with you.
YamYam’s Top 10 Posts Ever.
So whilst I await the melting of the Fife Ice Caps, I shall collate some data…Geek Style.
I am always amazed at how sparse reviews are for products, or how biased a lot of reviews seem to be. Motostrano Blog said it excellently:
“I rarely read product reviews these days. They are all advertisements and we know it- pure fantasy. On the other hand, there’s the ‘discussion forums’ where you can read countless essays written by lonely males holed up in their mancaves about the products they’ve purchased, sharing with others the ins and outs of why the product they invested in is so great. Of course it’s great, you bought it and you’re actually wasting life hours writing about it. We beat our chests about the little gizmos and gadgets we’ve been able to scrounge up on our hunting and gathering missions out in the shopping wilderness. Heading back to camp with our gear speared on a stick- which is really a lonely little desk away from the kids or wife – we review the goods, inspect it, try it on, pose in action shots in front of the mirror, perhaps in our underwear, perhaps dressed up in our leathers in the garage. Then, as if to map out a terrain that no other fellow savage has explored, we set up to transpose our inner most thoughts on digital paper about whatever it is we just bought, signaling to other tribe members where to go and what to see along the adventure.”
So it’s with great satisfaction and indeed pride, that I have been complimented on my reviewing technique and detail. This is probably why (and you will see soon enough) my reviews are the most popular out of my posts. Naebody cares about me seeing a plane almost hitting the Forth Road Bridge. They want to know why I think the Puma Desmo’s were the best boot ever made.
Anyway, lets move along. I give you the top 10 favourite posts on YamYam ever (in descending order):
#10: Review: Respro “Foggy” Anti-fog Mask
#9: Review: Puma Brutale Gore-Tex Boots
#8: Update: AGV GP-Tech Helmet
#6: Review: Shark RSI “Eden” Helmet
#5: Yamaha MT-03
#4: Review: Puma Desmo 800 Boots
#3: Tutorial #1: How to change grips and handlebars
#2: Kawasaki ER6n
The most popular post on YamYam ever is, surprise surprise:
#1: Review: AGV GP-Tech Helmet
So there you have it. I think the reason is I got the GP-Tech really early, as in first batch. This allowed me to get a head-start and offer the viewing public a chance to see what this new helmet was like before going out to purchase it themselves.
It’s a good indication of what people are after when looking around the interweb for motorcycle type stuff.
I hope you enjoyed reading the top 10 posts, but also have a wee look around the archives at the non-review stuff. You might be pleasantly surprised…or endlessly bored.
All the best

AGV GP-Tech Year Update
Well well well.
Yet again this post has nothing to do with my GSR as I had promised, again…
The reason is that it broke again just before the weekend there, so that’s being added in to the mix. Anyway, in the meantime I thought I would update you all on how the GP-Tech is performing after a year of every day use. The polls are in and it is as thus….
Not so fresh as a daisy, more like a stale egg...
White helmets are good for a few reasons. Firstly they are bright, allowing traffic around a small glimpse of a white ball moving around in their mirror, thus attracting attention to yourself. Secondly white makes for a really smart looking helmet, although I would extend this no further than the GP-Tech and perhaps 1 or 2 other helmets. Lastly white shows up the dirt easy to it’s a cinch to clean. However this last point is also a negative, as the dirt on this helmet is easy to see. It’s ok once you clean it off the easy parts, but all the grooves and holes trap the dirt and make it nigh on impossible to get to. This means that you have a constantly dirty looking helmet which can be annoying.
Dirt in the grooves means annoyance...
Comfort levels on this helmet are still fantastic, even more so now that the interior has moulded itself perfectly to my head. The addition of the foam strip under the roof of the helmet is still the original and it’s still making the helmet sit perfectly on my head, as if you remember I mentioned that the GP-Tech sits naturally low on the head.
Finish on this helmet is a bit of a downfall to be honest. I will say again that I got one of the first batch of these so perhaps the finishes have improved now but if I had spent £400 on this helmet I would not be impressed. So far the front vents have fell off, the buckle pull has ripped off, the visor latch is not snug meaning rattly visors when up, the badges fell off the neck curtains and now the materials are separating from each other at the back of the helmet.
The build quality is tearing me apart. That was shit, sorry.
It’s a shame as this helmet in my opinion is the best helmet around at the minute in terms of comfort, ventilation, safety and looks. It’s the best, end of. But the niggling build quality issues take some points from what is a 10/10 helmet.
Don’t get the wrong idea though as I wont ever be going back to my Shoei XR-1000. The build quality of the GP may be falling apart, but in terms of finish, the GP is streaks ahead of Shoei. The blend of velvet, perforated and smooth materials are sublime and the attention to detail is superb.
So that’s that. But I have one more thing to say and it’s the same old problem. The visor. I have gone over the reasons that it’s crap, mainly fogging/misting issues, and I stand by that if AGV were to get Pinlock or Fog City involved in their helmets they would sweep the floor…thoroughly. It’s crying out for it, and although I have been informed that AGV think their “Anti-Fog” coatings work fine, I don’t believe they are testing them in the conditions that cause the issues. Yeah in Italy they have rain, but it’s a damn sight different in Fife than it is at AGV HQ in Valenza, weather tunnel or not.
What they need to do is send their designers over here for a few weeks in December/January and I guarantee they’ll get far more information that they can utilise in their helmet designs.
Anyway after all that is said and done, I still love this helmet and it’s gave me nothing but a reliable, comfortable safe environment for my head. Once this helmet falls apart to the point of non-use, I will definitely seek another one immediately.
I love my AGV and there's no denying it, it's still feckin smart.
The GSR yearly update will commence very soon, after I have resolved the issues that happened at the weekend. It’s not looking any better I can tell you that.
Thanks for the visits all and sorry about the lack of images over the past few months. My camera has been out of commission (my small pocket one.)
Cheers
Gordon
EDIT:
Just a quick image to show what it looks like on my head.
24, it’s the magic number.
“Compared with wearing a black helmet, use of a white helmet was associated with a 24% lower risk”
Like a big round beacon of white light.
That’s some statement there. It’s taken from a British Medical Journal paper, titled
“Motorcycle rider conspicuity and crash related injury: case-control study”
It’s by a bunch of people who studied the effect of wearing hi-vis clothing compared to dark clothing with relation to accidents. It’s pretty interesting reading actually, and they discover a lot of facts and figures about how wearing hi-vis clothing and brighter clothing makes you stand out more from the background thus making you more noticeable.
Check it out here if you fancy educating yourself.
On the subject of safety, I made an observation tonight, and take from it what you want. I was cruising at 75mph and as always there were people going very much faster, around 90-100mph. There was 6-7 of these drivers tonight and all were female drivers, most with either a baby seat or obvious signs of children. To contrast this, there was a number of times I had to overtake slower cars and every single one was either a young guy or a really old guy.
If you fancy a decent read of a website, including tips to stay safe when riding, check this website out:
http://bmwdean.home.att.net/index.html
It also has a wee story about the guy who has done over 1.4 million miles on a BMW. That’s loyalty for you.
Ride safe all,
Thanks for looking,
Gordon
Half Shut Knife
Hello all.
First off let me apologise for not posting lately, it’s been a bit hectic.
Me and Em have been looking for our first house and it’s proving difficult. We have looked at 4 places now and we’re still no further forward. I guess it’s trying to balance livability with compromisment. Yep, I have given up trying to find the write words. You know what I mean hopefully.
The GSR has developed a real funny thing. When I get to 6th gear and roll on I can feel a distinct knocking through the pegs. It’s like there is only 1 cylinder going but really slowly, a slow “thud…thud…thud” and it’s at constant intervals so it’s obviously something to do with the engine….I am nearly due for my 8k service so I’ll bring it up then.
Another thing that I need to bring up is the small matter of my bike failing to start. The other day I headed off to work and stopped at the petrol garage. I filled up, went in to the shop to pay, came back out and by the time I had done all that and tried to start my bike, it wouldn’t. I tried 5-6 times to start it and ended up wheeling it over to the car park. I tried a few more times and it fired up no problems. Extremely weird and worrying, considering that not long ago it did that and the whole wiring loom needed to be replaced. I wonder what the reason for it is. Was there an air pocket in the fuel line? Who knows….
Anyway, I am really tired, very very stressed and had a very sore head all day. So instead of continuing to moan my face off, I shall retire to my bed.
Keep checking back folks, I will be updating the site with these things over the coming week:
- Update of my RST GP-Pilot Race Gloves
- Review/Update of my HARDAS Kevlar Jeans
- Update of my beloved Alpinestars Effex Gore-tex boots
- Update of my Puma Desmo 800 boots
- Video post of our Bealach Na Ba ride up and down!
- More gear updates and reviews as and when I have the time.
So I look forward to that.
Thanks for looking everyone, I hope that you haven’t lost interest.

p.s. My freaking camera memory card has suddenly stopped working, so I can’t take any photos, which is really annoying….ARGH I AM MOANING AGAIN! Night all.
Update: AGV GP-Tech Helmet
So after resting and getting back in to the working way, I have finally updated the site with the Scotland Tour. It was a slog but worth it, as evertime I was writing something a glorious memory would appear and I was transported back to when it was actually happening. Lovely.
Over the course of the 7 days of intensive riding my gear was subjected to a lot of use. This kind of endurance type riding would show me all the good and bad points of my gear. I will update all the gear I used to show you the results. The first of which is the AGV GP-Tech helmet…start from the top down.
You can read the initial review here.
The new AGV GP-Tech helmet.
So how is the £375 top of the line helmet fairing then? Well not too bad I suppose. I have been wearing it ever since I got it in early April, and wore it on the Scotland Tour as well and so far its been superb for comfort. The interior is superbly furnished and fits with a secure yet comfortable clamp. However after over 3000 miles of use, a lot of things have started to fall apart.
The first thing to go was the neck curtain.
The AGV logo used to be a red velvet thingy…still looks kind of cool though.
This is a known problem and if you purchased your helmet you can contact AGV and they’ll send you out a replacement neck curtain.
After that it was the chin strap that ripped off on day 2 of the tour.
The DD retention system had a leather tab on it to assist with adjustment. Not any more…
As you can see it seems to be the stitching joint that has given up the ghost.
I can still fasten the strap no problems, but it’s pretty disappointing to have a neat design touch come away after 2 months useage.
The next problems appeared on the trip, 2 of which were to do with the visor. The visor starts rattling when it’s open, however that’s if it stays open long enough because of the weak visor ratchet. (see initial review for more info)
The next problem was when I went to change visors. The red tab you can see in the photo below gets pulled down which allows enough space to get the visor in. Then you release this tab and it springs back up to secure the visor in the channel and ratchet. However my red tab sticks when you pull it down.
The visor ratchet system and replacement mechanism.
Notice how the bottom red bit is all the way down and the spring is compressed.
There is 2 ways to fix this problem. The first is you get a sharp implement and go about it. The second is you give the mechanism a firm tap and it springs back. Both of these remedies aren’t the best and I don’t like doing either.
Along the way on the tour there were many single track roads, many freshly laid roads and a couple of “in progress” roads. There were stones being flug up whenever Blair was in front but I never really noticed any big stones hitting me. However upon inspection above the visor seal there is a small chip out of the paint and another one about an inch to the right of it.
Now again, for a helmet that costs a lot of money surely AGV can put some decent, hard shell paint on it. I may be being a bit harsh here because to be honest it’s enevitable if a stone hits a painted surface it will chip, but it’s just frustrating. I think even more so because it shows up so much more with a white helmet and that I have had black helmets previously so perhaps didn’t notice it quite so much…
Stone chip blues.
One last point, the helmet sat quite low on my head and after I added the bit of foam I found at work, the helmet has sat perfect every time.
So in summary then,
The AGV GP-Tech helmet that retails for £375 is a brilliant helmet. However it falls down on some important areas and also leaves questions about the build quality. And for a helmet that costs nearly £400, I expect more in the way of solid build quality and tolerances.
Pros:
- Beautifully snug and comfortable interior
- Luxury choice of fabrics on the interior which help the above point
- Ventilation is superb, so much fresh air it makes your face cold
- Great visibility
- Superb design flairs and the design of the helmet in general is top notch
- Looks the dogs danglies
Cons:
- Neck skirt logos have now completely fell off
- DD adjustment tab ripped off
- Visor rattles in the mechanism
- Visor mechanism sticks
- Helmet whistles depending on how fast you go/how windy it is.
I will continue to update you with this helmet should anything else happen.
Thanks for reading!

Review: AGV GP-Tech Helmet
Hello,
What do you get when you cross ultimate comfort, with ultimate technology and ultimate materials? You get the Ultimate Warrior….but apart from him, you also get the brand spanking new AGV GP-Tech. Retailing at £379.99, it most certainly is expensive, but what price do you put on your head?
The brand new AGV GP-Tech, the top of the line job
Well put whatever price you want on it, because until the SHARP tests come out (see below/here) I really don’t know how good it is, but from wearing it now for over 1500 miles in 4 weeks, I can certainly attest to certain things.
So, how does it feel knowing that I have the best money can buy on my face every day? It feels great. My Shoei XR-1000 is a nice helmet, but it’s nothing compared to this.
The first thing that struck me was that it actually fitted my head. I have tried on a lot of helmets and in the long list of ones that don’t fit me, the AGV is at the top. It was a shame because when I first started biking I was on the verge of buying an AGV Ti-Tech Rossi Gothic, the one he used from the 2007 motogp season. Even worse was that I was going to buy it off the net, but instead I headed to Scott Murrays to try some on and it didn’t fit me.
How smart is that! The two air channels on the crown
So it fitted me and even better, it fitted like a glove. The helmet is plush to say the least. The materials and fabrics used in this helmet are top notch and the interior of the helmet is a dream. The roof of the helmet is the perforated type of material, letting in some ventilation from the crown vents. The cheek pads and aperture surround are covered in a suede type material, which feels snug. There is CoolMax material used in the whole lining which wicks moisture away leaving the interior fresh.
The shell is made from a mix of Kevlar and carbon, which is really light. The design of the helmet is very aerodynamic, with 2 distinctive channels running over the crown for ventilation. The rear is quite pointy compared to other helmets and has another 4 10 vents to exhaust the remaining heat away from the inside.
Mega vent. Brilliant ventilation system and looks the business as well.
The ventilation on this helmet is fantastic. I have never felt fresh air on my face like this before. The Shoei was quite airy but that was mainly due to the chin being open completely. The AGV feeds a continuous flow of air in and around the face and keeps things nice inside, but also benefits from an enclosed feeling with the chin and neck skirts. However I can imagine in winter it may be a bit chilly. We’ll have to wait and see.
The visor on this helmet is both genius and disappointing. The visor doesn’t have pinlock, the famous anti fog double glazing that my Shoei had. Instead it has an anti-fog coating on it. Now from previous experience with both the Shoei and the Shark, I have always had fogging with anti-fog visors, but the AGV is something else. It is the start of summer at the minute so the real capabilities will again have to wait till winter, but there is no sign of misting at all with this visor. It’s amazing. UPDATE: Today I was riding along and suddenly I could see my breath, inside my helmet! It was amazing, I had seen it before, but the visor had misted up as well, however the AGV didn’t. It was great being able to see all this mist but also be able to instantly see out the visor when the air clearerd. Weird….However the disappointment lies with the visor mechanism.
The weak visor mechanism. It’s a bit difficult to change visors as well.
It doesn’t have enough friction. Compare the AGV with my Shoei and there is a distinct difference in ratchet strengths. The Shoei had a lovely firm ratchet, holding the visor wherever you wanted it to be, and if you wanted to close it completely, it would take that extra push to create the snap seal. With the AGV, it feels like the visor isn’t even on a ratchet sometimes. The visor has actually closed itself on a number of occasions, which has both startled me and annoyed me. Sometimes I like to go along with my visor open, but the AGV it’s impossible. Apart from that the visor is ace, especially the dark visor. I found with the Shoei dark visor that it was quite cloudy to look through, as if it was dirty. The AGV is crystal clear which is brilliant, and also without the pinlock insert, the viewing field appears larger.
The anti-fog visor. Note how easily it picks up finger prints. Annoying to say the least.
The stock GP-Tech rides quite low on my head. Its not just my head either which is weird. The aperture roof sits too low and forces me to look slightly up, which when you are going at faster speeds, is quite uncomfortable. However the way around this is a thin slice of foam, which I have put inside the crown of the helmet. This has allowed the helmet to sit more naturally on my head without compromising anything. (Thanks Chris)
On a final note, the helmet is really quiet, however not as quiet as Blair’s Schuberth, but a hell of a lot quieter than my Shoei, I think this is due to the small helmet opening and chin skirt, which were both available for the Shoei as the whisper strip kit, something which I was going to buy for a long time but never got round to it. I think I may have to invest in it after hearing the difference.
You squeeze your head through that tiny space, and it’s instant comfort.
My helmet is white, which shows up every splat of road kill, something which I hadn’t really noticed until now. My Shoei managed to cover most of it up and even though I cleaned it regularly, never really appreciated how many bugs have splatted. It’s both good and bad I suppose, it’s easy to clean my AGV and looks amazing when it is, but when I am out and about, its not very nice seeing bugs all over the place. I may look in to getting it painted, I don’t know.
So yeah, the AGV GP-Tech, top of the line helmet and an absolute dream. For nigh on £400, it’s a BIG price to pay for comfort/cutting edge tech. However if you want the pinnacle of helmet tech and comfort, look no-where else.
Fingers crossed it comes out top on the SHARP tests, which I have a feeling it will.
Thanks for looking folks!
More updates very shortly, including my RST GP-Pilot gloves, Furygan Orona Jacket, Puma Desmo 800 Boots and my Hardas jeans.

Post Crash Video – Snow blues
Hello everyone.
I took my helmet cam to my very first day back at work, which also happened to be the icy/snowiest day. Instead of being sensible and getting the bus in, I decided to be an idiot and go on the bike..but I got there in the end. Shame the very next day I would be flying through the air…
Here it is:
Pretty cool except the rain getting on the lense of the camera. But it did show some cool effects as I got to the bridge! Psychadelic…if that’s how you spell it…
I will hopefully be heading to Suzuki this weekend to trade in the ER6 for a silver GSR600, brand spanking and the final bike I will own for a while.
I am still to confirm some stuff, but it looks like I will only get £1900 trade in for the ER6, because the garage “doesn’t sell many” which I think is crap. But there you go.
I will get the 0% finance dealio, as well as the Alpha Dot, 12 months road tax, 12 months AA cover, first service free, courtesy bike when in for a service and I have asked for a deal on crash mushrooms….hahaha
So aye, I am looking forward to it for sure!
I’ll update you before the weekend to let you know if I will have my first new bike of 2008! HAHAHA.
Thanks for stopping folks,
Gordon
p.s. The music in the video is Biffy Clyro, Wave Upon Wave from the Infinity Land album…it was on at the time so that is why i used it. Plus the microphone that I got with the camera was crap, so all you heard was a really distorted voice and wind noise. Sorry bout that. The intercom that I am looking at will hopefully have an OUT socket for connecting up an audio feed. More on that later.
