Your sound isn't too bad at all. Ya wanna hear bad audio? I can do that.
What camera do you have?
Just a little Kodak digital. Hey, at least your audio has the sounds you would normaly have while motorcycle riding.
Lots of wind.

That was pretty good Matt. The kodak did awright too.

The video camera I use is a $20 md-80 from ebay. If you hold your thumb out in front of you, then you'll get the idea of the size of the camera.

The audio is exceptional, in fact too good for the usual forward facing shots as the wind noise is overwhelming. Facing backwards it does much better.
The processor is a little slow however. It works well as a stationary camera but struggles with movement.

If you were to watch this u-toob vid of Grant behind me, you'd think his shocks had disintegrated, his head stem bearings were too tight and the tyres were severely underinflated. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4dWCfybvu4
The camera was attached to my luggage on the seat and consequently was subjected too much movement. You only need to watch for a minute or so to see the effect of movement on the slow processor.

The incredible melting forest. You're right about the audio though.
My only issue, other than the electrical interferance, was the fact that my little camera couldn't handle the bright sun (a rare occurance around here). I'll have to try my next vid on a cloudy day or traveling away from the sun.
I was ,still, pretty surprised with how well it handled motion.
