I'm wanting to put a camera on my bike this year so I can show the world what it looks like to go a blazin 70 mph!! Does the camera need to be hard mounted or can I run a helmet cam with the suction mount?

GoPro has alot of mounting options, also HD. Nice unit for the price.

I'm actually looking at the GoPro, My question is will they let me run a "stick-on" helmet cam? I personnally would worry it might fall off 1/2 track? Or are they stuck on good?

Whatever you do, don't ask John Noonan about keeping things with you on the bike.   (He's the one the supposedly lost his cellphone, from a pocket in his leathers, while going down the long course). |

Gopro wont fall off at 70, they advertise much faster speeds. I know a few people that desert race with those on their helmet, they can get over those speeds and it's not a smooth ride. GOOD POINT THANKS! |

Slim Never lost the phone, it popped out when the leathers opened up from a bad zipper..got the phone back and it worked great after a 239 mph tumble GO Pro works great and is easy to mount and use.. |

On 9-27-08 we lost a great friend and fellow racer, he was the BEST, he helped anyone with anything at anytime. His name is Dave Owen and he will be missed by all that knew him and I am glad to have met him.
Seeing him at Bonneville during 2008 Speedweek was the tops, Dave was in awe of the salt and as usual was there helping out anyone who asked..simply put we lost a great man who will be missed by all.

old topic but I'll add my $.02 anyway. The Go Pro HD has a great suction cup tank mount that stays on well on a faired bike. I've tested the stick on mounts to 208MPH amd they hold, even out in the wind. You can safety wire it if you feel the need but you'll do fine at 70mph.
