Love mine. Great way to share riding experiences with others.

The youtube quality isn't anywhere near the full HD quality that comes straight off the camera.

I've been wanting one of these for a while. Watching your vids of Hoosier Pass and Glenwood Canyon might have just sealed the deal.
Where/How did you mount the camera on your bike?
Now....how do I get this past my wife?

Before you drop your dimes for the GoPro be sure to check out Drift's Stealth HD170. I love mine! http://driftinnovation.com/hd170-stealth-camera/

You might also consider the Drift Innovation HD170. The rotating lens, remote control, and streamlined form factor are great. Videos from mine can be viewed on YouTube under the username johngaltfan. I also have a short one on my blog at the address in my sig.
Whatever camera you get, you'll have a great time with it!

I have one of the GoPro Hero HDs. Love it. I have the suction cup mount and the roll bar mount.

We have one and love it. You can see footage using ours on our webpage or on youtube. Just search Long Ride Shields. All of the footage from "rider perspective" was shot with that camera.
It's really nice because you can choose quality. You can do 1080, 720 and I think even smaller. This helps with file sizes. The video is recorded on a SD card. Be sure to get a big enough one to record enough for your trip. It is installed in a waterproof case that mounts to different mounts it comes with, so it's very versatile. I'm not sure what the water proof depth is, so check that before you go diving!!

As for getting past the wife, I've always found it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

I have the GoPro HD and love it. I have used it in the cage, on the bike
and on the SeaDoo. You have to find a location on the bike with the
least vibration. Suction mounted to the fairing resulted in a very shaky video.
Mounted to the crash bar still to much shake. The best result I got was suction
mounted to the chrome fascia under the headlight or helmet mount.
There is a very good Forum here.
