It's a wide angle lens.  It kinda makes the picture look "fisheyed".  I guess I need to get used to it.

Anyway, I just need to experiment with it some and figure it out a little more.

By the looks of your shadow on the road it looks like you have it mounted on the widshield somehow.  I rode with mine on the winsield of a interstate mounted with the suction cup and it did well but still afraid the it may pop off.  How do you have yours fastened?

I had it mounted on the windshield.  You can see it if you look at the shadow at the middle of the tape after turning around and heading back.  I like it but I dont really care for the outer margin of the picture's rounded look.
I guess I have to get used to it.  The lens is permanently secured  to the camera.
Ride safe

Cool camera!  The fisheye effect is sometimes coveted by today's film makers. Cheesy

Just as a suggestion, try positioning the camera with some sort of foreground element like the front tire or fender on the edge of frame.  This can give a cool perspective to the viewer.

Ride safe...have fun!
