I had an uncle (Buck) who owned a glass cleaning company. On his work van it said Bucks Glass Cleaning, but when you opened the van door it said Bucks ass Cleaning. Lol. The man made good business!

Since "Captain Spunkey's" (LMAO) doesn't seem to be on the short list ... and porn-production company like names are out (dunno why - these are motorcyclists you're hawking to, right?), here's some boring suggestions:

SpeedVid (maybe you can sell meth too)
Duke Video Rentals (hey, you brits seem to love the titular - keeps idiot american tourists amused - and why not name it after the bike?)
Davey Sprocket's Video Rentals (catchy, isn't it )
Infinite Loop Video (get it?)
MotoHero Rentals (shouldn't piss off the GoPro folks ...)
Sprocket's Production and Rentals (I wanted to use "Spacely" in there ... but it didn't work)

Whatever you decide on, be sure to register the trademark.

Just to help out with a more serious answer, (not that I don't find this thread funny, specially Mr. Tourette But please, please do not try and design it yourself!!!! Get a designer who understands branding to help out. It won't be cheap but it will be worth it.

Good luck.

Trying to find a catchy name for a company that also describes what it does is hard to achieve. Try going with something somewhat tangential that people will remember.

Use the word Super as part of the name.

I should suspect that anyone proficient on track has already got a GoPro if they have any interest in filming themselves.

Therefore your business objective is to enable newbies and nobbers to film themselves in an unfamiliar environment. The footage will be long periods of the mundane interspersed with brief flashes of unintentional hilarity.

Have you considered calling it Big Brother?

I still reckon you will struggle to earn a living from the camera hire but you may get a reasonable profit flogging the footage to You've been framed

i have thought about this as well and i too think that most people who want to record have already got there own kit .

but . .. . .. . . . ..

most people i know like to see them self from a distance ,i.e. the bike behind will catch you shifting in the seat ,kneedown ,going round the outside of a ATGNI.

so. . . with that thought in mind i rekon there is a gap in the market for a camera bike . they pay you per session to follow them round and catch what they get upto.

this is something i already do with mates (not for money) .normally put their camera on my bike to save having to send files and stuff, then give it back after session.

(NOTE;when doing this with a mate , it is very hard to resist the urge to pass them )

Thanks for all the advice guys... RaceTrack Playback is Awesome!! Here in SA there are alot of guys with camera's but for a noobie to layout 350 pounds for a camera is a bit overkill.. Im going to charge 15 pounds a session... Really not too much $$ if you concider its 7 pounds for 1 track photo.... I don't think ill make a living in it but there are alot of other extreme sports here where kids are involved as , like BMX and pocket bike racing and not too mention go-cart and offroad racing. So the plan is the expand into these areas later.
