Sorry about the shitty Camera position...

My best lap of the day was a 1:31; which kinda sucks but I'm still learning.

Nice. Try getting on the throttle a bit earlier out of the corner and keeping a steady throttle feed going into the corner. Doing so will keep weight distribution closer to 50/50, meaning more weight on the back tire so you can punch it harder and sooner coming out of the corner.

It's a GoPro HD...the thing is I put it in a really bad spot...I was frustrated because it kept turning down ruining the footage in my earlier mounting spot for it and I didn't wanna redo the safety wiring so I put it on the fairing, but it got bobbled around too much making for a shitty vid.

I just got the Hero2 this week and was considering mounting options, myself. I'd like to find a solid point with access to service the camera without having to deal with fairing removal and still have a proper view forward.

I usually mount it as far forward on the tank as I can...gives a good view through the screen; just an unlucky situation for this particular video.

The one at Auto Club Speedway uses the mounting point on the tank:

Thanks, I'll do some static shots through my LP smoke screen and see how dark they are.

My friend's 05 has a dark screen; this video was taken through it (looks pretty good to me actually):

Great vid! As for the gopro, I have been using one for years mounting it to the nose of the bike. On the fairing or screen. Just use the adhesive but rememer to use a tether of safety wire
