See video below I took with my TachyonXC "sports camera". It's a relatively cheap video camera meant to be used outdoors, under extreme conditions, and works fairly well mounted to the handlebars of the FZ. Unfortunately, I wasn't aware that the camera required 6X speed SDHC memory to record at the highest resolution and purchased only 4X memory so I am unable to capture the highest quality resolution but I think what you see below is perfectly acceptable for stuff uploaded to YouTube. In all actuality, there is very little difference in the two but when I record at the highest setting, there is some jitteriness in the video. Keep in mind that the view is through the windscreen so there is some distortion from the curve in the screen. Also, the camera is completely sealed, including the microphone, so the sound is not so great. For some reason, their is a resonance in the FZ exhaust that seems to disagree with the built-in mic causing an obnoxious buzzing as the FZ is almost whisper quiet although it sounds as if it has a bad Kerker mounted! Anyways, don't bore yourself with watching it all but it does give you a feel for what you will look like from behind.

Hooligan in Training

Thought I'd share a picture of my 20 month old son, Colton. To say his arrival was a surprise is the understatement of the century!! He likes to go to Olschl's house to play with Milo and do other manly activities. I can't wait until he can climb aboard the REX and go for a ride with his old man. I think there is a pocket bike in his future !
