On bike cameras-do they change the way you ride?

[noggythenog]

I was discussing with a mate about having a camera on the bike/helmet etc and my worry is that it would change my riding as in playing up to the camera,getting worthy material to look at etc,like making silly mistakes on a driving test when you know someone is watching.


Has anyone had one and stopped using it for this reason or do you generally forget that its there after a while.


I enjoy watching lewis's antics on his fazer,he seems to be used to it although lewis maybe you get a bit occupied with commentating etc but then the police do running commentary and maybe it makes you more aware,the footage where you round a corner to an arctic all over the road is a reminder to all about hazards.
