      I don't understand how anyone can take a picture while moving at speed especially with how finicky today's phones are about gloves and just hitting the button.

        This image photographed on a Closed Course, with a trained stunt driver, do not attempt. Yeah, not my brightest idea.

          Trevor, Rich and Baatfam posted solid pics. Even with the distracting peripheral elements, this voter thinks Redman summed it up best.

                Technical question for you, Sandy: Can you compare the merits of broccolli rubberbands to the aparagas rubber bands?

                and... while you are on the closed circuit track with the trained stunt personnell, who or what is holding the camera?

                Inexpensive point-shoot digital camera has a mechancal button on top, carry camera in opened tank bag easy to pull camera out with left hand (*), hold camera around its back with it facing forward, fingers on top and thumb on bottom (**), one finger on the button, maybe can see screen a little bit but dont really take much time-effort posing the scene, take a few shots each in slightly diferent direction, maybe one will be good . . . . . . OR stop on side of road.

                (*) and say to self "if I fumble it, it is gone, dont try to grab to make a recovery".
                When I first had a digital camera, I did fumble it once on the bike, and let it fall. Did go back and find it in the ditch. Case has popped open and circuit boards hanging out. My first thought (from years of film cameras) was "Oh, no, all my photos have been exposed to light and ruined."

                (**) or you can pretend you are 30 or less and hold camera vertically, even if the scene is horizontal.

                  Broccoli bad, asparagus good. LOL. As for camera and pictured GPS I always have them tethered just in case of an opps. The GPS is actually mounted with that hard plastic similar to velcro.

                              I'm voting for Kerrfunk. I like how the Suzuki key fob is centered right in the middle. Nothing says GS Resource better than that.👍 CB, KZ, FJ, nope... GS! 🙂

                                I'm not even sure what Bob did to get that shot. Batfam for me.

                                2001 KLR650 too pretty to get dirty

                                Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.
