I can't wait until Marquez gets on his level and makes Jorge trip on his tampon string.

That's safety wire... you'll have to excuse the two comedians that posted...they can't help it.  The go-pro comes with an assortment of attachment methods. The self adhesive one's work well for locations you want to use regularly, or the suction cup is good if you don't want to leave a self adhesive mount on the bike. |

I've seen people use them with no issues. If I was going to use it I think I'd use a tether just in case. |

You need only worry about the suction cup coming off if you have a caprix 620.

You can get the handlebar mount. I've use it like that a few times. The roll bar mount will let you mount it to other places on the bike. We've tested the suction cup and stick on mounts at 150 mph at the track with no problem if installed correctly. Clean the area real well with alcohol first.

The biggest issue will be isolating the camera from vibrations. On you some where is good; i.e. sticky pad on helmet. On the bike will need some viscoelastic material between the mount and mounting point to help isolate the camera from engine/road vibrations. The suction cup mount may hold well, but it is too damn floppy resulting in video footage that looks like a drunken person suffering from a tourettes spasm was holding the camera.

So then does it make sense to get the motor sports model, or just get the standard?
