This video hits home. As a first-time rider ever, I took my Rebel 1100 dct for my first chain service to a shop. On the way back home, I got in a crash.
The car ended up right in front of me, I and I was knocked out unconscious. There was no way to defend myself. The driver blamed me and claimed it was my fault. The feeling sucked. I had no evidence to defend or explain myself after I gained consciousness.
The driver took full advantage, and I took the blame and suffered a shoulder injury. My shoulder has not been the same since.
I wish I had something like this when it happened. I have to live with the fact that the driver got away with taking me out, got paid through insurance, at the cost of an accident on my record, and permanent injury to my shoulder and complete and utter damage to my brand new rebel.
Some people really suck.
Wow John, I can't tell you how much I can relate man..... I'm so sorry that you had to go through that brother, I hope you make a full recovery brother.
I didn't mention it in the video since dashcams didn't exist back then, but I was taken out from the side in 1992 and the bike was totaled.... Of course they blamed me for it since I had no proof, still have the scars from that one...
A dashcam is a priority safety item in my opinion, I learnt that the hard way. You don't have to get this one, but please invest in a dashcam, there are some jerks out there.....
@@ontherebel11but if they hit you from the side you still have no proof? No cameras on the side 😢
@@MagicAyrtonforever you make a good point, but it will capture the moments leading up to it, keep in mind that it is a wide angle lens.
hi man ! glad to have you back , amazing video, well detail and great editing , glad you got back from the accident.. always happy to see your videos!
T J!!! So good to hear from you man!!! Thank you for your words of encouragement, it means a lot bro!!!
Absolutely solid review my friend. WELL DONE! Love your channel!
Thank you Slight! 🙏

I've had my 2023 1100 for just over a month now .. love it & your videos ... Good Luck Everyone! ... I actually bought the Vantrue N4 awhile back for my Tundra after a lot of research but haven't installed it yet .. I'll be trying to get it installed ASAP when work slows a little...
Hi Dan!!! Thank you sir! I love the N4, set and forget!!! It saved me numerous times tbh! Good luck with the installation. The only pain is routing the cable to the rear window.
Hi. I agree 100% with the dash cam. I always use one and I had many different ones through the years, but always helmet mounted. I want to try one like that one one day.
Also, I had a Rebel 500. I loved that bike. The 1100 must be a blast. Thanks for your video!
Thank you!! Yes the 1100 is an amazing bike!! Thank you for your comment!!!
Hi buddy. Welcome back!! I was getting worry if you were ok😅. I’m 200% agreed with dash cam on your vehicles or and motorcycle. I have them on both my car and bike. I seen so many friends and family that get caught on it’s your fault Not it’s your. Just like your video footage. Most people lie flat out to blame the other driver for whatever reason. I’m glad that you had it recorded. Video footage makes the officers and insurance job way easier plus your voice speaks louder with the video. So many cases or scenarios but anyway
Thank you so much Julio! I appreciate you support my friend!
Ahhh yes a 1 hour video by my favourite dude Gus!
On a Thursday too - what a treat!!
Oh Man!! Thanks for making me feel better about the LONG ass video, i really appreciate your encouragement brother!!!!
G is back!!! was just thinking of you today - thanks for all you do
T!!! My man!! so good to hear from you!!!!!
@@ontherebel11 I’ll watch it in a bit once the beer is cool enough 😮
@@tkstylem 🤣🤣🤣 it's a long ass video
I like you videos, they are to only informative, but fun as well. I welcome your reviews of products that I'm already researching for my bike. Thank you
Thank you Mzbrayzn! 🤙 Thank you for your support!
Very cool that your friend was able to retrieve his wallet! Years ago my Chiropractor told me to stop carrying my wallet in my back pocket. Since then, I put it in my front pocket (harder to pick-pocket and better for my back!). Great video and now I am shopping for a dash cam for my FJR!!
We were so happy!! we were so tired after riding in the mountains all day, that night my friend decided to pay for our dinner, and we were the last customers... in our rush to leave, he just forgot that he placed the wallet on the seat as he was putting his gear on... he has since started placing his wallet in his inside chest pocket! The FJR is a sweet tourer!!!
@@ontherebel11 When I tour and/or each time I am getting ready to ride, I try to remember to check for: wallet, phone, keys, earplugs!!
@@stanadams8718 I have a similar routine! i check, recheck and check again hahahha and try to have a backup in case i lose something.
Awesome video ❤ keep up the good work and be safe!
Thank you Javier, I really appreciate it brother! 🤙
This is very useful. Thank you so much for your all effort to share with us
I'm happy to hear that you found it useful Ilker, thank you for your feedback!
Great review and install of the vantrue f1
Thx for your video. You have a lot of fans and hopefully they will listen and follow on this safety feature or tool. See ya around buddy
Thank you brother!
Very detailed rationale and explanation of installation. Thankyou!! I think I’ll shop for one …
Good to hear from you Jay Kay Dee! Thank you for your encouragement Jay! 🙏
Very good work ! Thanks for this video that definitely help me to decide to buy this dash cam
Thank you for your kind feedback M, I really appreciate it! 🙏
I like the fact it shows altitude as well.
hi Ben, yes that was a pleasant surprise!!!!
Thanks so much for the detailed video it definitely helped in making my mind up whether or not to buy this product I’m definitely going to buy it and install it on my 2021 Goldwing DCT trike. Thanks again.
I'm very happy to hear that Paul, you will not be disappointed sir! I'm so grateful to have mine running without a thought on every ride! Since this video, the camera caught a few close calls, some wildlife and amazing roads! 👍
Vantrue F1. Great video, as always! 👊
Greetings from Poland. I'm a fan of your channel. I like how professionally you run it. It's really good work. I'm very poor with English. I hope you understood. Greetings to all your fans and you and your loved ones.
Hi Tomi! Thank you very much for your kind words! Send my warmest regards to all my friends in Poland! ❤️
Thanks, for the videos as always, now there is a permanent camera on the motorcycle. go pro is great but sometimes ether you forget to bring it, to turn it on or your memory is full etc..the night recording is not the best ether. For me a set up like this would be more as a safety tool more than anything else. But what i have seen the picture quality and night recording is very good.
I also see you have the Thunderbox, cant speak highly enough about it. Great accessory power management tool.
Although is out of topic, i cant really tell what mount you are using for the DRL, i have the same but fender mounted.
Safe riding
Thank you Daniel!!! I couldn't agree more with you! I have lost soooooooooo much gopro footage for so many reasons.... even on the 1,300 mile trip, i lost a whole day cause the audio didn't work.... it seems ever single trip i lose footage with the gopro, valuable footage.... the one that upset me the most was losing all the footage from Dealy plaza in Dallas, the site of the JFK assassination.... I am in the process of switching my gopro to the insta 360 one RS as my main camera and having the gopro as a secondary....
I really like the thunderbox, it worked like a charm on the whole trip!!!
Great to hear from you Daniel!

vantrue f1. I just got into riding 2 months ago and the worrying about getting into a crash is so immense. I live in Philadelphia where drivers can be unpredictable. Better safe than sorry with a solid dash cam

Gus, great video. You didn’t test the parking feature, of when someone hits your bike while parked. How long it stays on after the engine is off for the parking feature to work and so on.
Thank you! I didn't test it because i think it only works if you plug the acc cable to a switched circuit.... I had planned to look into it but i am always short on time it seems....
Another excellent video Gus! Almost purchased a more expensive brand that isn’t near as bright and clear!
Thank you George!!! That means so much to me Sir!!

Hey Gus
Really appreciate your guiding videos. Thank you for the efforts you are putting for the community.
I've been thinking about Thunder Box. I'm worried about the terminals exposed to water while washing the motorcycle, or when it is raining.
Any thoughts?
Hi cruisininRiyadh! Great to hear from you brother! That's a great question! Here's my experience so far, I rode for 2 days I'm the rain after installing the thunderbox without issue! After getting home and washing the bike with a power washer, I did have an issue with the thunderbox, but I think that it was related to me not using the right connectors called ferrules, I have since connected the cables to the thunderbox using ferrules, much more professional and secure. I haven't gotten wet to test them out though.... Fyi, the thunderbox was working fine and the fog lights came on, it was only the dashcam that was acting weird. I hope that helps bro. Probably best not to run water on the connectors if you plan on getting a thunderbox. This is what I used for the connectors KAIWEETS Ferrule Crimping Tool... www.amazon.com/dp/B0BQ6LQ12G?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
@@ontherebel11 thanks for the quick response brother. ✌
@@CruisinginRiyadh anytime brother! 🤙
Another amazing job
Thank you very much Mike!!! Wish you could have made it brother
@On the Rebel 11 me too. Just had surgery for some removal of kidney stones today so I'll out for at least 2 weeks.. :(
@@mikeriv oh man.... I'm sorry to hear that Mike
yo what up man. I'm here for the content!!! hope you're doing well man
Hi Jeremiah!! so good to hear from you brother!!! THANK YOU!!!!
What tires does Marsha have on her bike? Those white-walls looks sweet.
Hi Chris, yes sir they are sweet!! The are continentals
That camera has some seriously impressive quality for a dashcam. I am curious why you didn't run the rear camera cable under the fender with the cables for the brake light and signals. Is it just a PITA to get under there without taking off the fender or tire?
Hi Sinnamortai!! it is very impressive indeed! very observant!! That's what i wanted to do is run the cable throw the rear fender, the connector fits perfectly in there, the problem is that i would have had to remove the rear wheel to make it work... i tried hard, but could reach in there by hand. i will reroute it the right way when i change tires soon. Great catch!!! thank you for bringing that up, it will help the community! do me a favor, please post another message with just vantrue f1, so that it doesn't get missed.
@@ontherebel11 Got it, I had wondered if that was the reason you didn't route it through there.
@@sinnamortai On the underside of the fender, there are some channels that are perfect to route the cable along.... ran out of time to remove the wheel....
Hi! The yellow and red cable, did you connect it to the positive green terminal on the Thunderbox?
Hi! That is correct, and it works like a charm after all this time! Such peace of mind when i start the bike and it comes on automatically and then shuts down by itself when i turn the engine off, i'm so happy that i added the thunderbox!
@@ontherebel11 awesome! that's good news. thanks for the video and tips on how you routed them. it's really helpful and clear. it's really a good solution asost modern bikes have little to no inderseat space anymore.
@@Rose__L I'm glad it was helpful, thank you for your feedback!!
Hi. Thank you for this. However, I emailed Vantrue today asking if a Thunderbox can be used and the technicians said NO.
Can you please confirm that it does and you have no issues, and if so, did you just connect the Vantrue accessory switched wire to one of the Thunderbox positive connectors and the Vantrue main positive + negative power supply wires directly to the battery? Thanks.
Hi there! Yes, it most certainly does work while connected to a thunderbox, I've personally installed this setup on 2 bikes. I connected both positive and acc wires to the thunderbox, as well as the negative. Make sure you use ferrules for a secure connection. Only drawback is that the camera can only run when the engine is running, but that was what I was trying to do so that it is totally automatic on and off. 🤙
@@ontherebel11 Beautiful, thank you. I may try and connect the power supply leads to the battery and just the acc lead to Thunderbox, in ‘theory’ I think that should work… thank you!
Vantrue f1
That’s me for the awesome review & giveaway
Good luck everyone for the vantrue f1
Thank you T!!!!
I got mine connected directly to the battery but I am thinking about getting the Thunderbox because it is draining my battery (it doesn't turn off automatically), did you connected the acc cable to the same slot as the positive or did you occupied another slot for it?
Thank you!
Hi there! Yes I connected it to the the same slot. I experimented both ways and it made no difference. It's so nice when it turns on and off automatically!
Hey, thank you for the videos, I have venture f1 on order was also looking into ordering th heal tech unit too, what I wanted to ask is when the f1 is in parking mode and engine is off does the features work when the heal tech is connected. Thankyou
Hello! Unfortunately the parking mode will not work while using the thunderbox, you will have to connect the red wire to an acc live wire
@@ontherebel11 doesn't the f1 module have inbuilt battery Because the bike is off when parked?
@ESSA20 unfortunately it does not...
@@ontherebel11 so I guess I can't use the heal tech unit, so therefore il have to directly attach the acc cable.
@@ontherebel11 may I ask how you wired the dash cam wires in the heal tech, f1 positive and acc wire into Tb green positive wire port and f1 negative wire into the black wired port correct? The Tb positive and negative wire connect to the battery terminal + and - correct?
I would prefer one that dose full 4k and 1080p 60fps and image stabilization along AV1 or HEVC Encoding
That would be nice, not sure if that tech is available for dashcams yet.... I'm sure it will be in a couple of years
@@ontherebel11 There is one 4k 60fps called TYPE S S40 but not for motorcycle but only the Nextbase 622GW has image stabilization as far I know of and supposedly the Viofo A139 Pro has HEVC Encoding support but an easy option to enable.
One question
With it wired to the thunder box, will the auto record still come on if someone hit your bike while it is parked?
Hi James, unfortunately it does not in the configuration I have it setup.....
When hooking it up to the thunderbox, will it tamper with notion to alert the device if the bike was hit while parked and off?
unfortunately yes. To have that function active you have to connect it directly to the battery as well as splicing into an acc cable.
Okay, thank you
You forgot the link to the Facebook Group in the description 😜
Man! Thanks for looking out bro!!!
@@ontherebel11 Can you also post a link to the Thunderbox? That may help me with my issue where my battery died.
@@LinkFelton
Absolutely!!!

When you add the yellow wire to the positive battery terminal, doesn’t that drain the battery when the bike is turned off?
Van true f1 !
Can I remove voices when I turn on the bike? can I also remove GPS information from video?
Hi there, yes, you can turn off the microphone as well as the speaker on the unit. You can remove the GPS, date time and speed stamp from the video. You can also remove the vantrue logo.

It depends what you are watching the video on, you will have a better view is seen on a large screen. Also you can pause the raw footage and zoom in. It isn't great, but it is better than not having anything imo 👍

Nice but even as an electronics tech, far too much wiring and excess wiring.

Thank you for your feedback
Very thorough and informative movie! I might add this dash cam on top of my Insta 360 solution. Watch my close call ua-cam.com/video/b970c9s0zU0/v-deo.html It's good to see yet another Rebel 1100 user riding this incredible motorcycle. Greetings from Wisconsin!
Thank you very much for sharing your video! Wonderful job avoiding disaster! I used to have 2 cameras on while riding, but the gopros would run out of battery so quickly and it is such a pain to change batteries, especially since I ride for 10 hrs when I go... I started getting lazy and wouldn't change batteries... I feel so relieved not to have to worry about it anymore, the dashcam comes on automatically and never stops! Love this little thing! And the quality of the footage is very impressive! I was shocked!
vantrue f1... Stay safe... Have a great day...
Hi, Question; how is the front lens holding up? (bugs, sand, rocks can easily damage it?)
2024 feb; Just got one for about $300us For me, the unit seems more worth like $200us something.
CONS;
-Regarding the memory card; Vantrue uses the FAT32 format, which is not secure and very old fashioned and limits files to 4GB and windows made partitions to 32GB. You can use micro SD card up to 512GB though. (512GB records about 28h of video (per minute; FRONT 4K=233MB and REAR 1080=74MB; together 307MB per minute))
-VLC player would NOT play any of the .MP4 files because of HVC1 video format. Win media player has no problems.
-Rear camera cable could be a bit longer. Front camera cable is a fragile high speed data coax cable.
-CPU unit is not really waterproof and a USB-C connection would be better than WIFI to your phone/laptop. (Who wants to watch the video stream while driving ???)
-Feedback voice is a very annoying Chinese English tone with bad grammar
-Camera's seem nice and solid, control box less so; very plastic-y
-System has a 2 amp fuse; so uses about 25Watt, which is quite a LOT !! The front 4K camera and especially the CPU block gets a bit warm.
For me; Video quality and anti vibration are good.
In all; OK-ish.
Thanks for your review!
Hi Peter! Thank you for your feedback with your unit, in my case the unit is still as good as day 1 and I have done a few long distance trips with mine, no scratches on the front camera at all, fyi I usually make it a habit to wipe the lenses when I stop for gas in case of bugs and dirt. 👍
@@ontherebel11 OK,thanks for your reply! Ride safely 🙂
Great, another camera for a bike with 300 feet of cable to put away 🤮🤮🤮🤮👎👎👎👎
An alternative to consider is an Insta 360 if you prefer, no cables involved. Many people use that option, quite effective. 👍
Thanks!
