I first bought a GoPro after a near-miss with a deer 6 years ago. I had a lot of fun with it, but it proved to be inconvenient to constantly hook up, swap batteries, keep charged, etc. So for daily use, after much hesitation I finally bought the Innovv K2 dual-camera dashcam system. It's pretty expensive but no-maintenance and nice for peace of mind.
Last week, it finally caught something worth recording: I was running a short errand around town and a black bear leaped out in front of me! I slowed in time (still my original brake pads after 6 years, 5 track days and 21k miles, haha) so no problems. The bear, my 650F and I are all well and happy. This one video makes the $300 investment worth it for me.
Makes me consider installing one on my other bike too. But hopefully I never need the cameras for anything else!
Edit: The built-in GPS says I was going 46mph just before slamming the brakes.
