There's music, so turn your volume down/off if need be.  Click on the Motorcycle option and a "dirt biking" video will come on.  You might recognize a few bikes on here...

Scott,

I hope you weren't planning on your bike making it thru Tech the 1st time thru this weekend....  or the 2nd, or the 3rd time, or........

That was so unexpected it scared the crap out of me!

What's a good camcorder for using a bullet cam?

     You need one with the LANC port in order to have remote operation capability of the camcorder. Most of the decent Sony's have the port, but some of the newer models can have it rather hidden (some don't have it though). I use a Sony Digital 8 and it works well, the only issue has been positioning the camcorder so the camera/playback switch on the camacorder itself doesn't get flipped while racing (since it's the previous generation of camcorder it's larger than the new stuff which is kinda a pain to put in the tailsection of the bike). The battery power can also be an issue, at Road America I didn't realize my battery for the bullet cam was almost dead till after I removed the camcorder and bullet cam from the bike and had no recorded video (seperate battery died immediately after I started recording! :(). I would highly suggest hard wiring to your bikes battery and have a quick connect plug inline for easy removal. Other than that my Sony has worked great with the //www.Helmetcamera.com version, the 520 pixel version is highly recomended for an absolutely awesome video. One other thing is the high gain microphone that comes with the kit, it's way too sensative and the sound ends up garbled, I really need to get an inline adjustable volume reducer from Radio Shack before I use it again.

     I have been looking at new smaller camcorders and was considering getting a DVD RAM camcorder, but after speaking with some of the knowledgable sales people at 2 of the 6 stores I visited they highly suggested that vibration may not fair well with the laser and the DVD disk. Also limited was the amount of record time per disk, I believe the maximum was 30 minutes for a DVD disk at the high quality setting. I am going to go with a MiniDV digital tape Sony camcorder myself, the record time is in the hour range and the camcorder was crazy small so it will be alot easier to protect inside of the tailsection of my bike. :)

Thanks for the info Mike, I think I will have one in time for Autobahn.

Mike, just wrap and tape some cloth, like some t-shirt cuttings, around the mic to muffle it. That's what I do.  And you can always tune it down and filter post production.
