Carrying RF on Motorcycle

[BJ Bignell]

I don't have saddlebags on either of my bikes. I got a duffel bag from HD that slides over the sissy bar. The bag can rest on the back of your seat (if you have a 2 pass seat) or on a luggage rack if you have that. I wrap whatever camera I'm carying inside of a large towel. This gives the camera great protection and the bag with a big towel becomes a nice back rest. It has two straps to hold it securely. The bag is overpriced for what it is but it does work great. I actually have 2 bikes. One in MD and one in FL. This bag doubles as my carry on bag when I travel between the 2 states.

This is essentially the same thing that I do: put the camera in a padded bag, and use bungie cords to strap it down to the sissy bar (or the seat if the bike doesn't have a bar). I have carried gear on my body before, but it always makes me uncomfortable; if I go rubber-up, I don't want to be sliding down the road with my Nokton 50 poking into my chest. I've never had a tank bag, but they probably work well, too.
