motorthings Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 most people i know use a setup like you can buy at www.helmetcamera.com First you need a camera that can accept an aux video input.

01killerR1 Posted May 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 http://www.pashnit.com/more/cameramount.htm For anyone interested , I also found this site that has alot of ways to mount camaras to your bike. I opted for the tank mount system and have been pleased so far with the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregGorman Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 For my videos, I use a camera from www.jonescam.tv As has been said before, you need a camcorder that can accept an auxiliary input. What hasn't been said is that as long as the camera is digital(if you're going to use it on a computer,) the actual camcorder you use doesn't matter because the little camera you're buying does all the work. The way I mount the camera is with velcro under neath the headlight. I've never had a problem with it staying on using just the velcro but I usually add some duct tape to keep it secure. You can check out some of my recent videos of a Barber Motorsports Park trackday on my website, www.gormanonline.com Greg Gorman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanfret Posted May 31, 2004 Report Share Posted May 31, 2004 Nice front end slide there at Barber. Careful man, that isn't the braking bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregGorman Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 No... No it's not. But it appears I've learned the lesson of the braking bike drill. Actually, I owe that skill more to my dad than anything. When I was 8 years old, he took me and my brother(15) out riding one day and had us do nothing but lock up the front wheel all day long while he watched. He started us off in first gear, worked us up to 6th gear and then added throttle blipping downshifts. My brother and I hated that day. Now we talk about it in reverence at the foresight my dad had to do that. Braking has never been something I've had to worry about since.

I wish I could get anyone - anyone - to realize how important that is. So many people think they are driving a damned car with handlebars... Grr!

AndyIbbott Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 Here in the UK locking the front brake is an important part of any advanced road based training. What is not understood is just how ###### the rear brake is. In Nortern Ireland most crashes involving over braking come from the rear brake!
