Took the Zero for a ride down the coast to test out my new GoPro. Lots of wind noise, but I like this chin mount location. See watcha think!

If I were not living very close to California's Pacific coast, I'd be way more envious. Keep it up!

Man, it'd take me a while to adjust to riding on the wrong side of the street like that!
I just got a helmet cam, and I get nothing but wind noise, too. I suppose that's to be expected, but it's annoying. I do like that you're able to see your dashboard, though, I can't quite see mine with the cam up higher. What's your camera's field of view? Maybe it's just wider than mine, which is 125 degrees (I believe horizontally). I'm toying with the idea of figuring out how to mound my camera on my chest, so I could see the dashboard, and maybe the wind noise would be less of a problem behind the windscreen, too.

I didn't have a problem switching the side of the road to drive on, EXCEPT when at an intersection in the middle of nowhere with no cars around, I sometimes pulled into the wrong lane before my brain panicked and made me switch.
For the most part, motorcycle controls stay where they are so you just flip your instinct to pull to the right over to the left and everything else works around that. I think I'd do much worse in a car.

You'd be surprised! It's easy on a bike. And the camera is a GoPro Hero 4 Session, those little ones:

I love it, but yea the GoPro chest mount is way better for wind. I just couldn't use it for leaning over (going to the track tomorrow). I have another GoPro on the back with an external microphone, so we'll see how that turns out!

I feel ya! Two years ago I did a road trip following the coast from SF all the way to Vancouver. So epic. I miss California a lot, but when the weather is nice in NZ, it's paradise ;D

Driving along a street is fine. It's roundabouts that get me. I may of may not have gone round one the 'wrong' way first time I headed to the US.
