I found a problem with the riderscan mirrror. I untaped the gap at the bottom of my Ermax as its summer, to get more cool air on me and there is a lot of wind noise from the riderscan mirror. The air going up inside the ermax hits the mirror and get very turbulent and causes a lot of helmet noise. So I have retaped the gap shut again!

So has anyone taken any scooter cams lately? Or any pics of cams mounted on your scooter or helmet?

I got a Contour Roam for Christmas, but I haven't mounted it yet. I'll probably mount it on my helmet like the GoPro was. :D

Urbanian, Did you find them? 1 1/2 inch - 2" in size?
Self stick right? Have you searched amazon? How about bicycle websites? Wait a minute! I bought 2 in a pack of 2" rounds at Walmart (auto/trailer supply dept) a year ago. Not put on yet, forgot about them :oops:

Nope.
I also thought I might mount them on my windshield, but there is nowhere straight vertical to attach them. Got a set that is adjustable, but they don't adjust enough to give a good rear view.

My view of the chest mount Gopro. Less obvious, less wind drag and effective coverage with the wide angle lens.

I use the little mirrors on my scooter mirrors to see blind pots. I will have to point out though that these mirrors are very small so that they will fit on motorcycle mirrors. I bought mine at a motorcycle store in their parts department.

Anybody got a favorite motorcycle supply house that has really small convex mirrors?
Auto Zone ... 3-4 dollars, they do help
