Video and sound is almost as good as being there again...I'm pretty satisfied with the quality, now. I'm taking out the W tomorrow with the camera mounted on the turn signal..just want to get rid of the jello effect. I have a helmet mount, and that's clear, but the idea of the bike POV intrigues me...https://picasaweb.google.com/109550952480484427597/GoProVideoClips#5818273500335631026
Good example of jello.......
If I get enough video, I'll be busy all next winter editing. 1.85 Gb=17 minutes at this resolution. I have a 32 Gb card in the camera.

   This is the same old road, but the lower camera mount makes the trip a bit different. I got stuck behind a Honda, so I could only go as fast as it went...probably no faster that about 30, or so....

  I got a roll last year at the ACE hardware store. I knew what I wanted, but the old guy there was the only one who knew where it was...

  OH Troll my dissapointment is so high right now.....friction tape....

Quote

handle of a baseball bat (or in John Hopkins case, Cricket bat...maybe Ratman's too)...not electrical tape.

FRICTION TAPE  is used on the blade and handle of a HOCKEY STICK........any kid from the snow belt knows that ....man......

Ok keep your BBB tires then.....personally it gives a nice veiw of the road, higher would give a nice perspective but were can you mount it higher unless you fabricate something......

Michelin doesn't make a white wall..I have enough trouble keeping the paint clean (except when it rains), so no WW for me! Here's a shot of where I wound up putting it. I had really wanted it higher up for more of a rider perspective, but this will do...for the time being. I wrapped the bar with friction tape first, to keep the mount from slipping. Before you ask...friction tape, that old fashioned black fabric stuff kids would wrap around the handle of a baseball bat (or in John Hopkins case, Cricket bat...maybe Ratman's too)...not electrical tape.

Soooo. I put up a small edited sample of the results: https://picasaweb.google.com/109550952480484427597/GoProVideoClips#5875965303864030898
I'm seriously considering starting a thread with all the mounting options I tried and discarded. I never thought that this would work at all since H-D riders usually consider the engine guard bar to be more like an electric foot massager rather than a stable platform. It's raining here, today, so I'm going to install my amplifier. I'll take lots of pictures of both the mount and the amp...after all, I don't want anyone to think it didn't really happen.

::)  DC...buddy, there is a stretch of road I take to visit my sister highway 41, on difrent occassions I have travel the length of that road and seen perhaps 2 cars on it other then in the small towns I pass through. Once I was on it after midnight and never saw one vehicle on it all night. On that road this month in one week...

How I wish it were that way around here.  Most of our roads are more like a demolition derby.
