I have a motocomm camera and I mounted it so that you don't see the speedo. how do people get there speed, throttle, brake to show at the bottom of the screen in there videos such as this video for example?

That's the Motocam DP system (http://www.themotocam.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=17&category_id=2&manufacturer_id=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=104)(data pak)

Briggs Willoughby (Microsoft Hardware Engineer) and Tim Ennis (President of Cyberspeed Techonologies, maker of the Motocam systems) teamed up to make this product. Alot riders in the NW were beta testers for them including myself. Its really a cool system that taps into the TP sensor, brake on off switch, and uses a magnet and external wheel speed pickup. 4 years ago it was pretty slick and I can only imagine how small Tim has gotten it by now.

OH I remember! I remember working on EmDee's bike with a million connectors, cut wires, plugs, etc.....system works, but mark's bike being a "test mule" sucked for me to work on...lol

When peter was at the coderace school they had a zx6 will full data acquisition... every friggin control was wired up... holy hell did they get a lot of data on what the rider and bike were doing... WOOOW
