It is a pretty sweet view. It will even catch him losing all the skin on his legs and feet when he crashes from riding in shorts and tennis shoes. To each his own, but imo, ATGATT.I saw this video tonight, thought it was pretty cool mounting spot. Shows off the TBR too.

Eh, me no likey*
...for a good reason (IMHO):
I saw a complaint video from a mount in this position where a cager cut off the rider suddenly (car moved from right lane into left lane without checking and almost swiped the rider). I realized that if it would've been the opposite situation, there would have been no proof that the cager didn't signal/was in the wrong (i.e. rider in the right lane, camera mounted on right of swingarm, car in left lane and swerve to the right). In that case the car driver could argue that they signaled and the biker was speeding (sound familiar?).
Now for compilation videos where you're using 2 or 3 cameras and you're editing together action shots: I think its a good angle. But for everyday documentation purposes, I think it sucks.

Is now a good time to dig up the statistics that say most accidents happen close to home?
I've been through several motorcycle related injuries due to not wearing my gear when I should have because I thought it was just across the way, etc etc. I wear the many scars because of it. At the end of the day it's up to the rider. I wear my gear now 99% of the time but that's from personal experience. I am not going to preach to anyone... To each their own. Very cool video man, thanks for posting it up on youtube! I am looking forward to installing mine this winter!
