^ That's one thing: I doubt I'll ever try the "helmet view" because A: I don't want a giant satellite sticking outta my head, and B: seeing as the GoPro isn't exactly streamlined, I don't want to feel any wind resistance from it tugging at my helmet.

FALCON, I'll definitely be moving it around on the bike. I watched a few vids and found that I really enjoy the "reverse view from the seat cowl" angle, where you see what's going on behind the bike as you pass everything. I also really like that view you have, with what looks like near the foot-peg. How is that as far as hindering lean angle? Do you ever notice the wind trying to "take" the camera? Like I mentioned earlier, seeing as the camera has no aerodynamic shape, does it keep you from going too fast (more of a mental thing, not wanting it to fly off/lose it's angle, as opposed to the wind resistance possibly slowing you down)?

Also, if/when I do the tank angle, will having a dark windscreen ruin the view?

Thanks for the tips guys. I can't wait to get this camera. Forever I've wanted a camera on the bike so I could sit back and watch me/us burn through our favorite sections.
