Thanks for the journal! What TPMS do you use?

[vfx]

The Steelmate TP90 system. Nice is the tire temperature feature.
Just today the pressure warning worked well. While adjusting the pressure to the right setting and a test driving a loud beep and a red blinking gaved warning of a too low front tire pressure.
The reason was a faulty manometer pistol. After testing a new one the old one seems to be useless for accurate measurement - it always displayed a pressure of 0.5 bar too low and so the TPMS alarm was successfully triggered.

GoPro Cam arrived and installed.

A 16 GB micro SD card seems to provide capture capability in 1080p for 1 hour.
Enough for daily commuting and using it as a dash cam.

Handlebar mount is very clever designed - a lot of possibilities for every angle needed.

Is audio usable or do you hear too much wind noise?

I'm not driven yet. Today it's got 4° Celsius - so I took the Audi.
But I will report. The youtube vids with a GoPro and a DSR intend that noise is no problem at all.
We will see ...

[vfx]

After two days of commuting my impressions of the video and the audio quality are very good.
But I'll need a bigger memory card. Although the 16 GB version records nearly one hour in 1920x1080 or 1920x1440 at 48 fps I'll look for a much bigger one the next days.
Then a whole day of commuting can be recorded in 1080p.
But I'm very happy at the moment

5.000 km reached. Sunny sunday, nice to drive ...

Another sunny sunday in Germany :-)

Well, I have to admit everything sure looks nice and green.

Jepp,

and I have to tell yet another very amazing thing about the DSR:

For getting to the location shown in the last pic I had to climb a very steep ascent, probably only passable for 4-wheeled driven vehicles or motocross bikes. I really thought the engine would die every moment and I'm getting stucked. But nothing like this happened - The DSR went further and further without any signs of loosing power.
Never needing to shift a gear and having full power at every rev is mindblowing in offroad situations. I'm sooo happy ...       

[vfx]

I'll try this again and measure the angle and distance to climb this time and let you know ...
