    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I often go for a ride with the express purpose of combining a ride with a hobby. My ingredients:
1 A c-clamp camera holder
2 A large tank bag
3 A sling style camera bag
I chose a Nikon digital for my bag mounted camera for 3 reasons
It has a 24 mm lense
A swivel mount screen
And a remote shutter release,which I plan on mounting on the left grip.
This gives me the opportunity to shoot from the bike, and carry a full kit for interesting stops along the way.
The camera bag is inserted into the tank bag and the c-clamp used on its lid as per the following photos. If you were going on a long trip, I suppose you could bunge it on top of the tank bag. But it would be awfully high on my bag. Or you could use the c-clamp on the tank bag if it is stiff enough and has a place to mount it.

Is that a Caddy parked in back of the bike or are you just happy to see me?

Nice camera rig btw.
 
Yep, that's my cager. Also my tool chest and and its parked in my workshop. When I bought it, I was disappointed that I couldn't afford the Northstar engine. Thank God I couldn't !! No blown head gasket yet.
 
The lid of the camera bag is zipped up to the middle in front, and clamped there. Because a camera bag is stiff, and compartmented, it doesn't flop around. If you have a heavy camera, just fill up the compartment below the clamp.
