New Here.

Alright, I'm new on here, I was lucky enough to have a grandad who has a farm with a fair bit of land, so had bikes from being a kid. Raced crossers when I was younger, been on the road since 17, passed direct access at 21, the usual.

I've currently got a KTM 950sm. I bought a cheap camera a while back, but the wind noise was atrocious it ruined the footage, so I've recently upgraded to a ghost-s.

I want to start to get into motovlogging, one thing is playing on my mind though.

My speedo is massive and digital, so I'm worried about either having to lose a lot of the field of view by aiming the camera high, or by incriminating myself by riding roads round me how I usually do.

I'm not saying I'm riding everywhere at 100, but the chances are I'd be hitting higher speeds than 60, or I'd be concentrating that much on not speeding I'd be fixated on it and not able to concentrate on the content I was recording.

I appreciate the obvious solution would be to slow down, but that's easier said than done. Has anyone experienced anything similar and over come it?
 
Welcome to the forum!

If you have some editing skill you could blur the speedo out when you approach illegal speeds.
Since you now have 2 cameras. Why not use the old camera as a 2nd camera, and show that picture instead when approaching those speeds?
Remember that as long as you don't identify yourself in any way. You would be anonymous, making it more or less safe to show the speedo.

The numerous British vloggers in here surely know more on what to do about this.
 
Welcome.

As for the speed thing. Either blur it or just accept that your speeding and might get caught.
 
I was told a phone privacy film works wonders on the speedo fella

I did test one and it did work, ok ish

Welcome to Motovlog fella
 
Welcome, save the effort of doing the blurring thing, and go with privacy/polarized tint film on the speedo (you can just tint the part with the speed display so everything else is visible), and enjoy riding.
