Get a basic editing package on your PC like Pinnacle Studio, it is a very cut down version of their 'Pro-sumer' software. Has abilities to add music tracks, play with sound levels, titles, transitions, time line editor, encoder, cut DVDs etc. You need a Firewire card to download onto your PC and you might want to check disck space as you can end up with some pretty big files, DV = 25 Mb/s.

IMHO the most important element is the bike sound for your video camera, you might want to get a gun mike - its a direction microphone that means that you get the sound on the video to match the image on the screen - not the bike behind you or the person talking beside you.

My other advice is to only use the view finder and not the screen when shooting, the camera is held a lot steadier in that position, eleminating shake and your better positioned to frame the shot properly, when following the action.
