A YouTube clip featuring RE and other extreme sports... http://youtu.be/3wbvpOIIBQA
-
I bought a GoPro Hero 3 earlier this year to record my rides through Appalachia on my Triumph. Nice camera! I've also used it underwater (but not while riding the bike).
-
I'd love one of those. Is there a cheaper knockoff for us geriatric delinquents on social security?
-
This is a pretty cool looking little camera.
Look at the videos they show. I don't think it has as many features, but at 100 bucks its cheap and I have several other things from monoprice and I like them all.

The point is that it is featuring a RE as another "extreme" sport.

;D Absolutely right.
But there is. I use a small and very cheap camera (was 20 euro) that is sold mostly to mountain bikers and alpiners (ski and snowboard). It can be worn on a cap, not unlike a headlamp or mounted on a crash bar as I do.
It has downsides too, what would you expect? As unprofessional as it is, it is still good fun. Just a mere mortal. ;)

I haven't had time to watch it yet, but I think this is an extended video featuring the RE in the above-mentioned "demo"...

Amazing clip.
But one of the comments on that YouTube page put me off..it said "What a crappy motorcycle". Damn ignorant people.
-
JVS - now don't you know better than to read those comments?
-
I just had a quick glimpse of the comments and it was right there staring at me :( I don't really get bothered with stuff like that but at that moment I got carried away a bit...'what the hell is wrong with this guy?' in my head.
Anyways..back to the video! :D The rider has a lot of courage to ride and cut through dense Indian traffic at those speeds (in the heart of the city). The whole clip was enjoyable.

I have to say that was one of GoPros best videos yet. Very well put together and quite enjoyable. Though that Monoprice camera looks like it might be worth a $100.

Wow! That's a good one. I've watched a lot of the Himalaya videos (I'm pissed I can't do one of those tours) & that's one of the best. It makes my palms sweat & he has way more balls than I have now. I don't know how I missed this when you first posted it.
How many of those damn cameras does he have? About six? One even dedicated to his odometer.
I would give up the whole trip at that bridge (now) & head back. I'm not sure now I could make myself cross it. I drove over Trail Ridge Road (& many others) in Colorado maybe a dozen times when I was younger. Never bothered me. The last time (in 1989) I drove it I was scared to death & my palms dripped like a leaky gutter.

Thanks Mattsz, the one thing that stood out in that fantastic video were the smiles! :) :) :)

I did the same. There's plenty of positive comments before and after that one hater, so don't fret...
I still haven't watched the video, though! ;D Gonna download it in 1080p and watch it on my big (well, bigger than my laptop) screen...

There are several other options out there. Here's one...
