I'm from Austin, TX and ride a BMW K 1300S.
I'm doing a 9-day motorbike tour through the Alps (starting in Munich and going through parts of France, Switzerland, Italy and Austria before ending in Germany) this summer on a rented BMW S 1000 XR. I decided to motovlog it, and thereafter. I'm primarily here for tips on vlogging gear and setup.
I intend to do a helmet mount since I want to record what I see, not where my bike points. After viewing a hundred YouTubes, I just decided to buy the Sony X3000R, having found its OIS and general video quality to be compelling. I have a Schuberth C4 modular helmet with built-in SC1a Bluetooth module (Sena).
The combination of modular helmet and X3000 means no top nor chin mount, leaving a side mount. I'm in the latter stages of deciding upon the optimal setup before ordering stuff in a couple of days.

Nice, your planned trip sounds amazing. The Sony is a great camera. Are you going to be using an in helmet mic?
I will connect a mic to the camera despite there already being a built-in mic (and headphones) for the Bluetooth setup in the C4. It would obviously be better if the camera had Bluetooth and could tap into the audio feed from the helmet-connected smart phone. Everything is a bit too Rube Goldberg, but that's the current state of the industry apparently.
