my .$02 - I always prefer a view of the hands so you can see the steering inputs
Agreed, I usually run with the camera mounted on the side of my helmet at eye level so I can see where I look/what my hands are doing. I like having the option of experimenting with other angles though.

only problem I found mounting it to the helmet - heading leaning into turns

I've found the problem is more with the outside washing out due to the camera focusing on the interior. I've tried the spot setting but think center works best from the limited time I've run a GoPro. I'm running a boxster so I can't really get a bar to mount it to as it would be too high (have to run top up w/ Suncoast to my knowledge).

THere is setting for that on the GoPro to prevent that. THe metering option gives you spot (Spt) or center (Ctr).

Yep, toyed around with both and found that center is best (even though I believe the manual says to use spot when inside a car) when mounted on my helmet inside the car. I tried spot this past DE and found that when looking into turns, it would pick up the interior and wash out the outside.
