So I made a video to post on YouTube to show that a 38 year old KZ still has a lot of fight in it even if it is not where it should be on compression and and has all the expected faults like leaky valve seals and the sorts. Still a blast to ride! Oh, and nothing beats the sound of an old school circa 70's or early 80's Kerker. I made this video as encouragement to this person that is having trouble getting his KZ running right and doesn't yet know what these bikes are all about.

I'm hoping it being behind the wind shield will cut the wind noise. Maybe a sock like on microphones would help.

@swest, @Racewayyelko, thanks; Just a standard digital SLR type camera. Not a sport camera. That is why you hear the wind noise. swest, it shouldn't be an issue in your case. I shortened the neck strap and put another strap around my chest to keep it steady. I plan on purchasing a sport cam soon. swest been following the recommendations on the cam thread you started.
