Default videotaping while riding

I have a few videos that my wife shot while we were riding the cabot trail up in NS. I am interested in videotaping while I am alone, and I wonder if any of you out there have suggestions on equipment. Right now I use a Fuji digital camera and can take pretty good shots in movie mode, but I am also interested in hearing something other than wind. I can deal with the noise on the recording by editing it out (and losing any sound of my exhaust I might have) so that isn't my primary concern.
I would like to know how to mount my camera to either the crash-bars or my handlebar clamp or just strapped to the tank.
My ride is a Heritage Classic, and I keep the windshield on it.

Default RE: videotaping while riding

I used to mount my MiniDV camera on the fairing /bars of an old YZF600r...

A really inexpensive way to do it is to hack-up a cheap tripod.

Most of the $20-30 tripods have a 'shoulder bolt' kinda set-up. (similar to the way your shifter peg attaches to the shaft)...On the tripods, they typically allow you to change the up/down pitch of the camera. What I did, is pulled the thing apart, and mounted it on the bike. It seemed to work pretty well, and allowed me to still utilize the 'quick-remove' feature so I didn;t have to leave the camera on teh bike if I stopped @ the store or for lunch.

Just an idea...

even if it does not work - you'll still have a tripod you can use for your camera.
