    The camera did a decent job with picture quality. I spent 2.5 years working out of Gourock and every Monday drove past the end of that runway, I can honestly say I do not miss work now retirement is here. I ride the bike all year round.

    Hi Graham the footage from your 360 is excellent in the dark. Can't believe that numpty just cut right across in front of you.

    Reminds me of one night at 2am driving a car on the A38 between Exeter and Plymouth (Devon Expressway). It was raining hard and the road quite lethal. A motorcyclist went past me without a care in the world. My car was sometimes aquaplaning and yet that biker rode with real skill.

    Camera did great. Don't miss my commute (across the border to England). Like you the bike doesn't go out in salt but i do still go out in winter if I'm sure theres been enough rain to wash any salt away.

      @Teuchteronabike, I used to work along the same principal relying on rain to wash away the salt. Only these past couple of years my local council is spreading treated salt which doesn't dissolve. Car wheels clear positions 1 & 3 but position 2 up the middle was still gritted into May 😤

    Great lights on that GS.
    Like yourself I have a short commute +/- 15 miles, it's the oncoming dazzle of car lights & the idiots that can't find the low beam that gets me. Used to buy old bikes to commute all year round, have a work mate that gives me a lift now in the depths of the salt season.
    Ride safe

    Super impressed with night time picture quality. Looking forward to getting my hands on a 5/Mic2 when the 6/7's are released - lol.
    I remeber my communting days fondly. Had a 9 month spell commuting daily from Ballieston over to Hillington on the bike.

    Salted roads and the bike stays in the shed. Otherwise, it's a mix of bike, car and home working all year. I keep on riding to keep the skills sharp. Places you so much better for the spring.

    The camera certainly coped well in the very low light, they're all improving as far as that's concerned. I've yet to try the Insta Ace Pro, it has an Ai low light setting perhaps it's the same in your 360. Numpties, Numpties everywhere they don't care about anything but saving a split second even when your approaching them in a car.

    My commute is 2 miles so its a bit of a faff getting the bike out for such a short journey. I normally ride all winter when a decent day comes around but as I plan to keep this bike for a while I may take it off the road when the grit goes down, I will wait and see.

    That looked great. As for the stupid things car drivers do these days.... too big a subject to cover in the comments. I'm retired now, so no commute, but then I never really did have a commute, although monthly sales meetings 150 (or more) miles drive (each way) from home were a career long PIA! I don't put the Suzuki away for the winter. If the conditions allow me to ride, I ride... but then I live in South West England where temperatures and weather conditions tend to be a little .... kinder!
