edited the video after the comments, but put it back up - all I was after was comments on the quality of the video as i plan on using it for track days and wanted to see if its worth using,

p.s. its my camera but i never said it was me riding the bike

What camera is it? ive seen a few on ebay but was unsure if they were much cop. As for the riding i wish i could take corners like that

How did you mount it on your forks? Pic/description would be appreciated as im constantly looking for new mounting options for mine

the camera is this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Mini-DV-DVR-Vi...item5191c8fe36

but i got it from the UK not from china,

i use the three velcro leads that came with it, wrap the velcro around the camera and the front mud guard arm as tight as it can go, then force it upwards to the top of the mudguard so that its really tight and wont budge- not exactly scientific but works most of the time, just make sure its really tight so it does not slip down.

Nice one nik i might give one of them a try.

you can borrow mine if you like first to try before you buy, well that is if you are ever down near middlesbrough to collect it. The SD card it comes with is not the best so add another £10 for a decent card.

Thanks alot for the offer Nik but i managed to find one on amazon for £30 from UK with an 8gb card so thought at that price it was worth the risk. Cheers mate

Picture quality ain't that bad - sound quality's always going to be an issue. You need to mount it so you catch less sky and more road.

That looks like a great stretch of road! I take it that the rider in this clip (not you of course nunez) has ticked off everything on his bucket list and is now just killing time?? Nearly cr@pped myself watching that... take it easy, and post some more vids. Cheers.

Nik, Any chance you can grab a photo of how you have it mounted? I'm slightly baffled by your description but like the view you get from the fork leg
