Nice! I had to mount my camera in my helmet, not really dangerous as I can see but it looks dangerous to other people.
I am still deciding between the: Sony Bloggie, Flip Ultra HD, and the Vado HD.

That was my first choice, but I didn't really want a camera sticking out the side of my helmet...
Plus a camcorder $100 - 200 max compared to a true sport camera $300... A lot of money...

I know a lot of people like to video themselves riding, but to me, I' rather spend that $200-$300 on something else. I know a lot of guys have the GoPro and they take incredible footage. But unless you're on the track and trying to critique your lines, I just don't see the point.
I do know a guy who runs on the track all the time and has someone follow him with the camera so he can watch himself and critique not only his lines, but his form. But for regular street riding, just seems like a lot of money for very little return. Just my $.02.

I bought a new GoPro 5 mp on eBay for $120. It's fun, a little bit of a novelty I guess, but it also has lots of other uses (underwater, sports, doggy cam, etc).
Lots of people spend more that that on purely cosmetic moto mods, which isn't my thing, but to each her/his own!

Very true. I'm planning on spending about $750 on TBR exhaust to gain a couple HP, a bad ass sound and a much better look plus about $190 for a set of ASV levers. But those are worth it to me.
 You guys keep buying your $300 cameras and I'll keep just watching your videos.

So it's the same thing for me when it comes to riding, I like to video tape friends or so when we ride in groups to show all our other friends and family a little bit about the motorcycle world, show off the speed a little, and it's great to look back upon one day when you grow old and hang up the helmet. My friend/ex manager at work whose a older guy said he used to ride back in the day, and he would never think about doing it present day. He said he was young and loved danger.
