Great video !
Upgrade to HD, defiantly, mount the camera on the handlebars, NO!!!!!!!!!
You will be shocked at how much shake, bump and rattle you get - your head or arm acts as a kind of steadicam for the camera. If you even attempt to mount a HHD or tape drive camcorder on bars you will constantly cause the heads to park (HHD) and the tape mechanism to quit. You will get away with it with a solid state camera but the picture will be bad.
Look for a HD camera with optical image stabilization (not electronic stabilization) - srtap it to your head/helmet - shoot your footage - and then before editing run the who lot through a software video stabilizer.
P.S I have a Canon HV10 HD camera for sale if anyone is interested.
