"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Love how you looked down, checked your speed, made sure you were out of range, then started passing over double-yellow again [thumbsup]

VHold HD

Turned out to be a nice little camera. 135degree wide angle. 16Gig hard drive - 4 hours a battery.
Cylindrical form is fairly aerodynamic. - way more than GoPro.
Helmet mount was a little challenging but I think I got it figured out finally.

Ya, the GoPro does seem like a bit of a sail. On the bike it prolly isn't a huge deal, but I could see where at (ahem) speed it might be a (literal) drag on your helmet.

The Gopro is fairly aerodynamic when you couple it with a suction cup Mohawk. That's why it's a top seller at Cycle Gear.
