Iv'e been looking around for a bullet style camera for my old man to mount on his suzuki hyabusa to record some rides. From what iv'e found, you need a little spy camera which then needs to be plugged into a video camera so it will record. Is there any of those camera's that can record without the video cam?

You plug the camera into a hard drive , this records video , where going to do a similiar thing with our 4by's one underneath , one front , one in car , pencil type camera's , then download to PC as external hard-drive and burn to DVD , Cheers Paul.

Australian company action cam or something like that.
Bullet cam, strong enough to allow a 4wd to drive over it and not be crushed.
They have a plastic box which you connect the bullet cam to a handy cam and you use the handy cam to record with, this box is again crush proof and vibration proof.
Made mainly for sony type handy cams though.
No good for a JVC enviro HDD cam.
Cheapest kit was $280 then $340 then $400 there's 3 kits each a better cam plus extras like battery pack for longer recording times etc.

And there are these ones, but you need a seperate video recorder which i dont really want to get.

Surely I can buy a bullet type camera that has its own recording function that i just need to connect to a H/D somehow (like MART suggests)

at 640x480 you may be dissappointed with the results....
similar things available on ebay, we picked up a "Tony Hawk" branded unit for $50.00 from Myers a little while back, very similar...

good for web based apps or you tube... not so good for video night or production quality stuff.
you want at least 480 tv lines for production quality, once again chase ebay, this'll give you a lead to some companies... Sony seem to be the maker of choice for the actual chips...

Just be careful not to get caught doing silly things and videoing as the police can sieze the tape and use it against you

Something like this might work for high res:

just plug a pencil camera composite video out into the input of this device. I don't see why it wouldn't work. I'm sure this thing could run off 12v if properly transformed.
