It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

What use is putting the camera between the handlebars? Did they put a screen under the seat like some kid's "license plate," too?
Who doesn't want a view of their crotch while riding?
It’s opposite of that; camera is on the mud guard, display is between the handle bars.
So you can watch the brodozer about to run you down?
Yes, I figured that was the case. I'm poking fun at the poor writing. But thank you for covering that just in case I truly was lost.
