If your engines in decent condition you wont break it!

awesome sounding exhaust by the way! If my fletcher sounds anything like that I will be very very pleased

I use a hand held HD video camera either mounted on a tripod, which is tied down in the front footwell or mounted on a Delkin Fat Gecko

yout fletcher will sound much much better mate, look at my topic of different exhausts in the media video section :)
but yea as you said you wont break the engine if its in good condition. if you dont know what condition of it is in but it goes fine, just give a good service new plugs oil etc and you should be alright :)
treat it well is the key

I use a Veho HD7, found out about it when it was recommended by the Gadget Show (massive tech geek )

^^Although I got mine off Amazon for about £88 on special offer

And I bought a simple mount for it off ebay

Works just as good as a Go Pro as I've compared the quality of both and they are pretty much identical

Veho have the HD10 now, looks the same as the 7 but a bit improved internally, wish I had holded out and bought the 10 as it came out about 2 weeks after I bought the 7 lol

If we're just throwing options out here, the contour HD is a very good option. Some people say it has better qualities than a GoPro e.g. Better audio quality, better night filming quality(less noise)

I use the GoPro Hero HD. I managed to get the motorsport version (comes with suction mount and some sticky pad mounts) for £120 off amazon.

Ive used it for afew videos and recently stuck on the side of my friends drift car using the sticky pad.(Video not online yet)

Theres a small rattle which curses some GoPros which may be heard on some of the older videos but ive now fixed this. (the cause is the Start/Stop button rattling slightly in the body and can be fixed by sliding some foam under the button)

Here are the videos ive taken with the GoPro. (Watch in HD if your internet is up to it)

Jade driving her mini, (stuck on outside of window with suction mount)


My dad and friends riding around belgium (attached using a handlebar mount)


Riviera Run 2012 (attached using suction mount inside the side windows and windscreen)


Friend Andy Drifting at santapod (attached using suction pad)


My MITP RWYB Runs at Pod 2012 (Using suction mount)

Also my friend Luis (Minispaniard on the forum) purchased one of those cheap small cameras and the video isn't that bad considering how cheap they are.

Will, The quality of the GoPro video looks really good. Have you had any issues with it since you've had it. I'm interested in getting one but a lot of reviewers mention technical probs with the camera E.G Camera freezing, files corrupted etc

Cheers

ive had my go pro 2 for almost 2 years, never had a problem with it. used it alot on the bike i used to worry it would fall off but it stays put and ive heard that even in an accident or they do fall off they are fine just had to replace the outer shell
