Very wide angle - I wish there were some way to narrow it a bit. It seems to get a real fish-eye perspective, with more distortion than I like.
And yes, finally - you know what it's been like up here in the Pacific Northwest. This has got to have been the most protracted, drug out, dreary winter in recent memory. Weather fit for neither man nor beast, that beast being our favorite motorcycle, Porsche, or Mustang. Note the clouds threatening overhead - I did get spit on a bit on the way home.

I don't think the distortion comes from the windshield. I filmed some video with it hand-held out in the back yard, and it all looks kind of fish-eyed.
None of that is wind noise. I double-backed it to my helmet on the first run, and you couldn't hear a thing other than the wind. That was on our last sunny day. My mount holds it well under the windscreen, so no wind gets to it at all. That is purely mechanical noise, and intake noise. It has an open airbox that is right under the tank and camera, and the desmo valve train noise seems to transmit right on up through the frame. If I flip my faceshield up it sounds just like that to me, live on the bike.
