Thank you for your kind comments. This isn't full revs, as the bike's still running in a bit. Limited to 10,000 for now. Would anyone like a film of a Honda 90 exhaust?
Chris Constantino Hey, we have a show here in New Zealand called "Low Gear". It's a low-budget show about trucks, tractors, and other farming machinery, etc.
Captain slow is taking a risk and going over 20! Nice! Hahaha Love the way you set your camera. When you gonna call Hammond and Clarkson out for a video?? Maybe start vlogging? Omg just imagine.. "James May vlogs "
albazar123 what is not moving relative to the camera? the exhaust? it is moving! Also the camera itself is moving. There is no way you could fix a iphone or anything else so tight it wouldn't move at all, not with gaffer tape and not with anything else. the sensor scans the frame from bottom to top (in this case left to right or right to left because it is mounted sideways). and because of the speed and the vibration this side effect becomes visible.
Exquisite! Now please make a video explaining everything about the exhaust in ultra-nerdy detail. Seriously. This is youtube, you can do that and people will watch.
Most of my kitchen is held together with gaffer tape - in fact - most of my house is probably held together with gaffer tape - it seems to be my husband's cure all for anything broken! He used to be a drummer - he used it to stop his drums from moving around on the stage! Let's hear it for gaffer tape! Slightly abstract film though, James, just as we thought that you were going to take over from Mary Berry and Delia Smith!
Just found the unemployment tube! Big fan here Mr. May, not just of your top gear work. I especially loved your film about the success of your swallow! ;)
Would it involve Gaffer tape? Not altogether certain that this would have a wide audience appeal .... but it's quite abstract .... even with the gaffer tape! Could you consider using it as an art installation maybe!

Definitely!
JM's unemployment tube yes please!
JM's unemployment tube YES.
JM's unemployment tube Are you still giving away your 458, and how's the Clarkson Hammond and May tour going?
JM's unemployment tube 100% yes
Captain Quick
Kalimerakis Depends, who's driving?
Wow what a stunning video. My life is changed in a way.
That looks exhausting.
This reminds me of a show I used to watch up until early march, what ever happened to that?
Oh yeah, I remember that. BBC probably cut it because it wasn't making enough money.
fruitycolax Fifh gear, right?
Gabriel Lopes That's got to be it.
fruitycolax oh your mean low gear?

Filmed with iPhone and Universal Engineering Solution*
*Gaffer tape
Bravo !
POWEEEEEEEEEER!!!
***** No, that's the other one. The Orangutan is the one that says POWEEEEEEEEEEER!!!! This is the slower one, the G Whizz fanatic.
Str3ss3dpo3t654 I know, this is the one who gets a fizzing sensation just behind his bits when driving good cars ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
***** Haha
MO' POWAAA!!!!1!!!1
***** DRRRRRRÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖHHHHHNNNNN!!!!!!

Omg just imagine.. "James May vlogs "
Richard has his own channel too :D I forget what its called though
***** Richard Hammond is bored
Never meet your heroes they say, they'll just disappoint you. Vertical video James, really?
He's better than that
OhNoNotMyPenis All the film crew are freelance for the bbc, I'm sure if he wanted to do anything pro he has the contacts to get hold of them ;)
Alfred Munkenbeck i didn't mind, really
Cameron Marks Like hes gonna pay the crew just to do short videos when shes just doing them in a none serious way....
Alfred Munkenbeck I'm pretty sure it was easier to tape phone vertically to this position.
+1 for Universal Engineering Solution
Ughh, this recipie was awful James,
Petestaaa No, this is a great recipe. Everyone needs more carbon fiber in their diet.
Petestaaa LMAO! This made my day!
Oh meh durg... . , .
Buffeting
James rides motorbikes? Well ill be damned
He has said that he actually quite enjoys them :)
He always did lol ..
hvf26 Don't think people understood your sarcasm
***** That wasn't a 'real' motorcycle... it was what... 50 or 125cc?
+mattfox14 Doesn't seem like sarcasm
I'm loving that song you released "Hold back the River"........
YOU'RE A GENIUS JAMES!!! who needs a camera crew when you can setup the best shots with just your phone and tape.
"James is a very good driver. He really is. But he does break wind a lot." - Clarksonio, 4000 B.C.
Nice video, Cptn Sense-of-Direction
holy shit, I'm not even into bikes but that was amazing O.O
Absolutely extraordinary! Magnificent!
rolling shutter ... wobble, wobble
2m8y4u I believe this is the automatic image stabilization youtube provides...
Martin Blass this is definitely rolling shutter which is obvious at high speeds. you can tell from the blurred vertical sections in the frames.
but relative to the camera it is not moving, so i can't be rolling shutter.
I saw the "effect" in one of James's recorder music videos - check it out. Does not seem like a rolling shutter.

A seminal film just seminal, definitive, artful and powerful
British ingenuity at it's finest
Sounds great!
Thanks James! I tried this with my local orphanage and the kids are going crazy, they've gone so crazy they're choking!
James, sweet James, why are you filming in vertical?
Please do some bike videos I would love to watch/listen to you and Hammond talk about bikes..
Already the comments about his camera work, does so many not understand he has no experience being a camera man? : )
They're joking, obviously.
Thus the smiley face!
I don't think he cares...
***** so ooooold, so ooooooooooooooold
I am just happy you do these.
beautiful sound
Glorious Banter!
I got chills... they're multiplying
Woah sounds awesome !
That power is really pushing that iPhone stabilization.
2 4 6 8
James May!
Now that's a badass sound. Been looking at a Speed Triple......
James when he said “Zorst” I’m A MILENNIAL
This clip alone is better than any piece of crap BBC will do for TopGear 2016.
This is the closest we will ever get to new Top Gear, rip
Captain slow my arse. Love how May's just becoming a UA-camr.
BRING THIS BACK
Finally something I actually Like, do bike reviews on bikes you have...
Yes May! More videos like this please :D
Gaffer tape ahahaha
James May has a street triple! Excellent.
Start a video podcast James!
Would be great if one day someone invents the landscape mode for smartphones...
Sounds good. I like the exposed carbon fibre.
he even remembered to use vertical video
Gaffertape, the engineers best friend.
Nice sound mr. May!
Ok I take it back! Sounds great.
James, I read online you're a certified pilot?
Go fly! we want video of you flying.
James! I still what to know the make of the cheese grater you use! By the way i LOVED the Man Lab series and the stuff you did with Oz Clark.
What a glorious sound .
nice lawnmower exhaust :-)
Just found the unemployment tube! Big fan here Mr. May, not just of your top gear work. I especially loved your film about the success of your swallow! ;)
Ah, that typical spring background noise. Even though it's in the foreground here.
You're supposed to be "Captain Slow" & I "Lt. Quick"....role reversal - I like it!
Didn't think May was a motorbike person.
He's back on wheels! Yay!
Fascinating stuff!
james may driving a car: captain slowly
james may riding a bike: captain quickly
sounds brutal
Oh that glorious sound
New television show: Top Bikes.
It would be really cool if James did videos on his own cars and bikes. It would be like Jay Leno's Garage, but with Fiat Pandas and Honda Cubs.
Great video
no top gear without Jeremy Clarkson
Brutal zorst note!
What an exhausting clip ........
James, they have this thing called a GoPro, y'know?
TruncaTech James has spent all of his money on his Ferrari.
TruncaTech He's unemployed, how could you expect him to buy a GoPro.
He's got to pay tons of petrol for all his Ferraris, we have to exercise leniency!
God speed Captain Slow!
Looks like you are having a wonderful unenjoyment.
Hahahaha the description!
(Filmed with iPhone and Universal Engineering Solution*
*Gaffer tape)
I approve of this noise.
May,you have a new subscriber
Instructions unclear, cooked exhaust.
Captain Slow all up near the rev limiter!
Nice rear pipe you got there... rawrrr
See you in Perth next month! :)
Can't believe i just watched James May's tip for 20 seconds.
Funny how stuff is remembered better than it actually was...
The bike is a Triumph Street Triple 675. He said so on his Twitter.
Loose the baffle if you haven't sir. Should hear my Triumph Tiger Sport when it's angry :)
James, show us how you work on your motorcicles, your viewers would be pleased.
awesome triple sound
James, you are so crazy!
Definitely living the slow life.
Captain Slowly going so fast the metal and carbon fiber has melted and turned all wobbly.
This kinda reminds me of this show that used to be on TV called Top Gear, don't know if you've heard of it.
The thought of James May in a biker suit on a triumph is strange
See you in Sheffield on Saturday :D
Teaser trailer? Lol.
James hope you enjoy South Africa while you're here wish I could come to the shows hopefully it's not the last time that you come here as a trio
Arrow make some nice exhausts
Getting brave with the iPhone. surprised the sound came through so well.

That Richard on THE bike
