I reckon one of these babys would fit under most bike seats. Pity about the power requirement though... Confused

Damn site cheaper than a compact digital recorder, plus you have a massive choice of quality USB cams nowadays. Could have a decent cam pointing forward, and a cheap micro usb cam pointing at the console Thumbs Up

They've come down a fackload in price! They were over £500 last year when I was trying to source them for Inshite.
They Stemmed from TheCappuccino PC Which would also be excellent for Bikes.

I'm running something similar to that in my car, cost me £199 to build and much better specification.

For £199, i've included Sat Navigation, Always on Internet access, All round coverage by video cameras, a basic form of ANPR (lets me know when passing a friends or unmarked police car), massive music collection, DVD etc..

Was thinking of building a cut down version for the bike and having an mini LCD with Winamp for displaying track titles.

Very limited, runs off an access database that i've built, so I just input number plates of friend's cars and it beeps at me when I go past one (most of the time)

You could hook it upto your bike, you will need one of these https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=14946&item=5724555259&rd=1 .

Just make sure you have a fairly big battery on your bike.
