    My 2c...would be nice if we didn't have to see so much of the dials.

    I've put my camera off to the side so it gets a clear view of the road. I realise I'm one of the few people to do this as there seems to be a fraternity that wishes to give kudos for velocity achieved. I prefer to receive praise for a line well taken or good use of lean in a hairpin.

    Not a criticism, just an observation.

    Cheers for that, reason for the dials being in shot is so i can analyse my riding afterwards.. i find it helpful to know approx what speed, gear, revs etc i go into certain corners. Helps me learn faster and I like being able to anaylse my riding, so I can improve!

    You will see that I keep to the speed limit on my videos, when im on somthing bigger then will be the time to alter the camera position!

    These vids where not 'hard out riding' rather a cruise within the speed limits to show the ATNR route.

    yeah some people think its funny to zoom past a newbie at twice the speed - sometimes close enough that my bike wobbles from the wind they make. Doest help me, just batters my confidence and slows me down even more!

    Not cool at all mate, thats the kinda crap that will have folks here raging when they see it, blind corner overtaking manouvers I don't need to say anymore.....AND to buzz anyone like that is crazy....I'll be interested to see what other folks think, especially in light of a number of threads currently active on this kinda thing......jeez, I sound like a right granny - LOL

    nice one

    I bought the same camera, took the foam packaging out of the box, cut a hole for the camera to look out of and a hole for the record button, stuck a solid piece of plastic to one side with two holes in for two of the screws that hold the side fairing to front fairing and another piece of plastic which was only lightly taped at one end so the screen could fold out. I then applied liberal amounts of duct tape all around the foam and plastic.

    Worked spot on with some good vids of Nelson to Picton, Takaka hill etc until a friend borrowed it for manfield. Only one hole fitted his fairing screws so he tested it (without camera inside thankfully...) and it flew off somewhere

    For the new bike I might try make something that screws into the frame sliders. I like the side perspective. Haven't quite worked out how yet.

    120 in an 80 is a loss of license if the law sees you!

    Now Now Disco, You shouldnt go around saying things like that. Just cause you go past something dosent make you faster. walking past a parked Ferrari does not mean that you are faster than the Ferrari. Maybe the guy on the blackbird is a law abiding citizen and does not like to speed. You might want to watch for the blackbird in future cause a clip round the ears is definetly on the cards ...(LOL).
    Only kidding buddy, catch ya soon.

    I saw this one dude who mounted his camera on his forks right at the bottom. He did this by preparing a bracket that mounted on either the axle or some bolts close by. Didnt really get to have a good look so cant comment further. Don't know if this helps but you might want to explore this possibility
