Wasn't sure where to put this, so figured it might fit in "Riders Gear", plus the amount of traffic helps.

Anyways, just bought the GoPro Motorsports Hero Wide angle camera a few minutes ago. I plan on using it mostly on the tank to the 636.

Does anyone here who has one/has used one, have any tips and suggestions as far as where exactly to mount it to get the best shot (gauges and view through screen) while getting the best sound with the least amount of wind buffeting?

There doesn't appear to be a "preview" screen on the back like a digicam, so what do you guys do to know you have the right angle?

Also, says it can record up to 56 minutes when expanded to a 2GB SD card. Is that the biggest card you can go with? Seems like the amount recorded should be whatever size card you go with up to 16 GB's, not just 2 GB. Oh well, just seems odd but I can work with it.

Thanks in advance for all tips for the best shots.
