Dash cams

Hi Guys


Back to using my bike for commuting so thought I might ask the forum about Dash cams. Advantages/disadvantages of a helmet mounted camera or the ones you mount directly onto the bike.


Looking for reccomendations and thoughts.


Cheers Brian

Re: Where's my headlight bulb?

Hi Had the same issue when replacing my running lights, bulb slipped out into the front screen.
