Tank mounted using suction mount
Sissy bar using RAM mount
Passenger peg mounted using rollbar mount
Harley vibrates a lot resulting to a "jello effect" in video footage. I think the most stable is to mount somewhere on your body where it absorbs the vibration.

If you upload to YouTube it will stabilize the video for you and take some of the wobble out of it.
I use VLC media player. You can stop a video and pull a frame out of it and turn it into a snapshot.
Let us know how things go with the GoPro, I'm wanting to get one of those and customer reviews are a big deciding factor for me. Right now I mount a Kodak EasyShare to my handlebars.

I went with a LIC Ego camera. It's 1/3 the price as a GoPro with better quality video/audio and the same features. The YouTube stabilization just zooms the video and actually degrades the quality. There are several anti-vibration mounts out there. Look for the rubber mounts for remote controlled helicopters. With a little creative engineering, they can be adapted to work with a handlebar mount. I'm working on mine now and I should have it done sometime this week. I mostly use the chest and leg mount, the helmet mount is tough to watch especially if the rider keeps checking mirrors and watching his surroundings.

Look up RAM Mounts. They are heavy duty and can beconfigured a million different ways, they make a ball mount specifically forthe GoPro.
If it's not gonna rain get an adapter to use an external mic
to reduce wobble you just need to be creative in how you isolate vibration. Also I'd tether the camera to a 2ndary point.... I had a HERO 2 and loved it and am planning on a Hero 3 black
BTW from experience dont mount it on top of the helmet, its a **** angle and the wind will push your helmet back making it uncomfortable

A Sweet-Looking Camera Mount
You also might want to check out the DeluxeCAM. Several connection options, what I like most is the slim, nice-looking stainless steel rod. And there's an anti-vibration feature at the base. http://www.leadermotorcycle.com/CTGY/cameras.html
