    Darren you can have mine when I am dead. I want to mount one facing me and play it at my funeral.
    I can hear the wife now, "look at the look on his face. He was really enjoying his last ride."

    No one will care to see a movie of your funeral. Unless you can rise from the dead sit up in your casket & do a Linda Blair.

    Burt you will not be invited to my funeral. Invite only. I was giving away all my Marauders at it.

    I have the Hero 2 combined with the wifi backpack so I don't need to get out of the car to turn the camera off and start recording. I also like using the handlebar/seat post mounts to attach it to my swaybar. Makes for an interesting angle that I'm sure not many people have
