That camera is impressive. The image is very good quality, and vibration free.
You might want to tilt it down a bit so the camera can see more of the road. That would also get rid of that black bar at the top of the screen.

How much did the camera cost?
Where is it mounted on the bike?

Pretty cool Seth.
Is the footage stored digitally or on a camcorder-type tape?
I think it would be awesome if there was some way to superimpose speed and RPMs on the screen.
Your rain there turned into my snow here so my bike just gets to collect dust in the garage today.:(

Excellent video, You dont appear to move your head much when you look? Is this because of the camera or is this just the way it looks? I noticed that when you came up to the first stop sign I didn't have a clue what was coming from the left.

Ok My bad, the title of the post is a bit misleading "helmet cam". I just watched the whole vid and I now realise its on your bike lol.

yep that is it. the battery in the dvr lasts about 6 hrs. the cam battery last longer. it records on to a memory stick and it will accept up to a 2g witch will record about 6 hrs.
Sounds like a great bit of kit. Sorry for my stupid comment earlier. When you poped the wheelie what gear and revs were you at before you dropped the clutch?
