Alright, I went on a bit of a spending spree last week, you know help the economy and all. Well as it happens I ended up with one of the GoPro Wide cameras.

After careful measuring, sorta, I decided I really liked the front fender as a mounting point (XT), but as it turns out watching video from this vantage is damn near sending me into epileptic seizures if the road is not glass smooth, or the engine speed is below 3000RPM.

I just have a RAM camera mount on the left side of the handle bars with the 3 1/2 inch extension. I haven't bought any bullet cameras yet. So far the point and shoot camera works good and if it rains I won't K

I like that Froggy, I'll have to give it a try this weekend.

My other thoughts on location are handguards (little iffy) and fork reflector.
