Roger, if you are going to mount it under the mirror then like any position make sure the surface area is spotless. I used Autoglym intensive tar remover but meths etc will probably work as well. Stick the mount on, leave it 24hrs to cure and then off you go. You can use a tether if you want for peace of mind, (I did), but it will not come off of its own accord, they are very strong adhesive mounts.

Cheers Steve. will do, I bought some new mounts only last week, bloody expensive I thought,  although I seem to have a collection of old ones in the Rev Shed, which I could/should have used with fresh super sticky double sided tape

I will make sure the surface is sqeeeeeky clean 

Oh and remember to reset the camera to "inverted image"

I just spin the footage in the software.

Good idea ....which I guess is easier than fiddling with the Hero

I would trust either method of attachment Roger.  The suction cup is superb, used it at all speeds on car and bike and never moves.  I had the stick on pad under the mirror on the GTR and it was like concrete!

I haven't used a sticky pad on the GT as I can't find a suitable place that's discreet enough so I trust the suction pad on the fairing/pannier/top box.

Tether if you want to but you really don't need to.

Thanks Chris, I seemed to remember that you used the suction cup method   

I'll go for the mount under the mirror which is discreet

BTW I saw a nice Silver GT at the Bridge yesterday, and it sounded lovely when he set off

Is it me or is anyone actually holding the steering wheel of the white car in the fourth picture?

[Lonewolf]

Its ok I think they're using their feet.

Roger - Just a quicky from last week.

Used the suction cup to secure to roof line across top of windsreen

All those bends remind me of Wolfies corner, I need a lay down now!

It looks like most Italian roads are in bad shape these days.
I noticed that during my last trip through the Alps.
I did the Grand St Bernard (Switzerland - Italy) and the Petit St Bernard (Italy - France) on my way down and the moment you crossed into Italy potholes and patchy roads everywhere and then after the French border nice smooth surfaces again.
And those barriers? 
OK they may stop you from falling hundreds of meters if you loose it, but you can't see if anybody is coming the other way around the hairpins. And if you hit one of those on a bike you most likely go over anyway.
So I am not sure if I rather don't have them. 

I did a lot of passes in the last month and to be honest I prefer the B-roads off the 'beaten track'. 
Man, I found some roads in Southern France (Rhone Alps and Haute Alps) that can easily compete with the Stelvio and the best thing -  no potholes and hardly any traffic. 

[Winston Smith]

I've had six out of last 8 weeks doing passes through europe and I agree there are equal/better that aren't so famous.

The Italian roads seem better than they were last year tbh.

Stelvio has had some work done on it and the Grand Pass St Bernard (Italian side) has had some resurfacing and barrier replacement.

Overall I was impressed/surprised with the Italian roads since last year.

Bormio however was shite and is too narrow to enjoy - at least it wasn't thick with cloud this time!

[O.C.]

Your suction cup method seems to work fine Chris. 

I've now attached a plate to the underside of a mirror and I'll give that a go

[Ros]

Just got back. All good! Pics coming up when I can get some blood back into my arse, neck and wrists. If not tonight, then tomorrow for sure.

It's Wine o''clock....

Cheers
