Has any one used the gopro video camera. While at the motorcycle show a vender had them for sale. I didn't buy because I had never heard of them before. I did a little research and it seems to be a decent video camera for 130 bucks. The link is to a comprehensive review of the different models that I found on youtube. The guy is a little long winded, he never mentioned how to upload the data. I've seen that it can be mounted right to the bike securely with a suction cup, gas tank, rear tail section, and on the side.

I have used a Aiptek MPVR+ with great results on my bike. I've upgraded to a Insignia HD camera as of last week.

If you buy one of those cameras, let me know how well they work.

Slayer - That bike sounds so good, man....

A lot of people I race with use the Go-Pro.
Its cheap enough to be expendable in a crash, and the video is pretty good.

Everyone I know that has one, is happy with it.

Hi,
I think that i would want a little more security than a suction cup at 140 mph somehow :-}
