It's got four cameras set up around the bike 360deg -- now that would be sweet for taping group rides. Records them digitally; also everything is viewable immediately via a snappy-looking little LCD screen. Pretty cool. Don't know much about the bike though.

that man has got some wicked setups running on his bike. The simultaneous problem was conquered by running more than one handycam, and the obscure angles are achieved by a very steady and solidly mounted 'mount' with a bullet camera on it.

I'd like to do something similar, if not better than what he's come up with. But that's a hard task... just waiting to see "lines" thats gonna be the bread winner in the end i think.

Nearly all of his videos are on bike only, i think the mix of on bike and road-side/tracking shots are what really make bike videos (like ghostrider) but that is hard or just plain annoying to get sorted in an open road/track environment.

I like the idea presented, but as said in the text attached, ya wouldnt want to look at it while you were riding!
