Ok so it came in the mail today. Tomorrow morning I will go out to the .5miles of twisties that I have around my house and try to get a video of my crappy riding style! hahahaha
Mike
**Edit
Google finally approved my video so here it is. I'm warning you it's long and boring. I did try to make it a little more fun by adding some effects and music though. haha

Nice outlook on your riding skills.

i plan on getting a viedo mount as well, but i'm not paying 90 bucks just for a peice of aluminum that vibrates like mad. I'll make my own over cap 4 screw mount for 5 bucks.

Dude...it's a great mount that doesn't vibrate like mad...look at the video that BrianAZ posted in my thread...it's steady as a rock...my camera has optical image stabilization which doesn't work for recording off a motorcycle, my camera will vibrate on any mount. The mount has three choices where you can attach the camera on the bracket and one is very close to the gas cap (probably 3 inches); in fact, I don't remember anyone ever complaining about the Sportbikecam.com mount. If you can find someone complaining about it post them up, but everyone I've seen loves them...you're just a hater cause you can't afford one!

I saw it. he was going like 50... i'm not impressed until it does the same @ 150.
Fretless, can you turn OFF the image stabilization, or is it an always on feature (which would painfully annoying)?

I turned it off and it it didn't improve...I tried increasing the shutter speed and it didn't improve...it has to do with the way the optics in the lens reflect the image vs the digital reproduction...it's not worse than digital, it's just not good for recording on bouncing, vibrating, fast moving objects.

I had a nice $800 sony with the newest IS and it sucked. I took it back and trade in on a $300 JVC that looks great. If I can find a hosting place to put up large videos, I'll post some up.

I love WI. You live in a beautiful part of the world, Mike.
Nice video mount. Without the bumps, it was hard to judge speed. Good job on getting the speedo in view and keeping the audio in to help drive the sensation.

That was rich! I love how you...uhh...purposely missed a shift in the beginning...uhhh...too give us a chuckle
The Rocky music really brought that video too life and made me want to mount up and ride her like I stole her and Journey gave me the courage to face any obstacle (like stupid gravel) that comes my way!

Did you use a remote Microphone?

No just the mic on my camcorder. It's a Sony HC85 I bought 2-3 years ago for a family trip we took to Alaska. Since then I've only used it for, well, "home videos" and "hotel party videos." I'm glad I can finally use it for something else. I was really hoping to get down to the tail with a few other guys from this forum but I couldn't find anyone to go with so hopefully next year. That would be some cool footage.
I'll have to make a better video. I found a new road while exploring yesterday for a few hours. Kettle Moraine Scenic Drive it's called. Maybe I'll do that this weekend and get some better lean angles so I don't look like I suck THAT much.
Yea I uh.... missed the shift just to... uh... be funny.... lol I was hoping no one would see that little neutral light come on and just think I was trying to do a wheelie! hahahaha
If anyone from WI area wants to be a movie star hit me up we'll go riding sometime. Of my two friends who ride one blew his motor and still hasn't fixed it and the other, well I just don't know, I haven't talked to him in a long time.
