way cool!  I got a GoPro 960 as my early Christmas present.  Also got the suction cup mount.  Pretty cool for mounting the camera on the side and top of tank, as well as on the rear cowl.  Highly recommended.

and overthinking everything I do, so I'm all jerky and not smooth

on the Duc, I have the shift pattern reversed so barely ever use the clutch on upshifts

Still getting used to this one I guess

Planning to get a GoPro this spring but was curious how they mounted to a helmet?
Do they come with sticky mounting bracket or should I look for a mount when I am getting the camera?

it comes with a bunch of sticky brackets and a big giant suction cup thing
I used the suction cup thing today in the car, more on that later, and put one of the sticky things on the helmet

let me not think about upsetting the chassis too much with this thing, it's very torquey as in listen carefully to how much the tire was spinning on that dirt road and I was going really, really easy on the throttle. Also, in watching it, I thinking the front was coming up more often than I realized too.

It's really not hard to get it right. If you're timid you're guaranteed to have a rough time of it. Commit to it and you'll be riding like a king Smiley

Nice ride video there.   waytogo   

Can anyone explain to me what is the advantage of super-motto or motard bikes on twisty roads ?   ( i realize it's a lame question, but i do not understand )  But I have ridden with fella's that were killing it in the twisty on motards.

I've hard time editing anything out.  It's all important.   Grin

But seriously, I have a hard time editing even the boring part of some rides I record.

Supermotos rock because they're really light and change direction in a heart beat.

Think of a mountain bike but with 45 horsepower.  They're very nimble.
