Looks like you'd leave my Super 8 125 in your dust. I have had mine to 90kmh last night on the highway but backed off to 80 when some car lights came up behind me as I'm still on my Learners licence & didn't want to get busted by a cop car. My legal limit is 80k's even on the open highway. Here in Tasmania if you score just 4 demerit points on a Learners licence & it's game over!!! And they cancel your car licence too regardless how long you've had it for

...i just have a kodak C190 12 mp camera (google it)...it has a video mode..

..i put a little foam rubber cushion between it and the front of my full-face helmet, and tape it to th helmet with electrical tape...along the right and left edges, staying off any buttons i need and th lens...

..can't see what i'm filming, but i'm usually watchin th road anyways...lol..

..takes some trial end error to get the orientation good, but it get's easier once you've done it a cpl times...

..it wrked well with my old cam, but i gotta get the sound right with this new one...

   Ha! I'd like to be there for that,but my hot rod is dead right now (people 50 +) :'(  Been through all the easy fixes,no good. Think it's the stater any way to test for the electricly disabled   :D .
   This would explaine some of my resent problems with tuneing was crapping out at higher revs and continued to get worse. I'll post somewhere else.
   When i get it back up will be getting a kodac for some fun.  ;)
