    There's vey little vibration on a bike engine, comparative to a car anyway. Partially this is down to the small capacity but it's also because of the mounting fashion - a bike engine is hung from or entirely enclosed in, the frame but solidly mounted, the other factor is that the drive train is free floating which removes any idle vibration and shock loading of power being power applied.
    Not to mention the undulation in the road surface when moving has far more effect on the shot.

    Here's one of my old videos with the camera bolted with a bracket to the engine. Crappy camera I know.

    I was struck by your use of the vaporiser during the early part of the film: every time you come up behind slower cars, there must be a button you could press to make them simply disappear from the road. I assume this is a prototype still in development, since its power clearly ran out further in the run and you had actually to overtake the cars towards the end. Have you worked on it since? Can we see it or are you bound to secrecy?;)
