Thanks that was great, Im in Korea at work right now. the song and video (took me home) lol. I like seeing the fender too it kinda gives a sense of where you are and what your doing. Loved it.

If you look REALLY hard at the guardrail on the left at 3:47 the words "Jared's Ditch" are painted in orange....
That's where the entrance to the American Legion Post is.
I might have painted that there....
There is a story behind that... involving my best friend Jared...

I agree, I've got mine tethered with a small bungee type cord. You can see it in my second picture on post #26. I've never had to be thankful it's there but after losing (destroying) a GPS at 60 mph I'm not taking a chance.
Just make sure your tether is short enough to prevent the camera from landing on the tank/

I don't trust suction cups... ever have it come loose?
I know you can tether, but there is still that 20 or 30 seconds of it bouncing around on the paint while you get shut down on the side of the road to fix it...
Maybe it's not a problem, just what I see my luck bringing.

The first thing that comes to mind is moisture. Keeping a suction cup moist will promote a good seal to the vacuum.
The second is constant vibration on a bike.
The third is constant wind coupled with the vibration.
It may work perfectly on a motorcycle.... but I'm still not putting one on my paint.
I do appreciate the vote of confidence!!!
