This is though and honestly while ive looked at alot of travel bags i haven't begun to look for something this specific.

I'm looking for a bag that would basically center the body and two lenses. Would have to have room on both sides to put non camera stuff that would also double as padding. Fortunately most bags I have seen lay the body and atleast 1 or 2 lenses in the center

But i was wondering if there is anything motorcycle specific something with enough room for 1 set of clothes, body+lens and another lens. Minor accesories and be rugged enough to survive laying the bike down. Its kind of demanding since you never know what will happen in an accident. Id love to be able to shuve a laptop in it while im at it but god knows it wouldnt survive.

This is something I have never thought about when purchasing a bag for anything... Not a bad thought though, I guess in certain situations the bag could be the difference between minor damage and having to replace a camera.

As far as suggestions, I'm sorry I don't have any.

Its cool, yeah I never thought a motorcycle would be my last chance at independant transportation. One side of my family everyone has or had a bike. My mother always said when are you getting yours (I had 2 but never rode them just flipped them ((bought fixed and sold))). I Always said when i get a yellow Ducati 999R. I only said that because i didnt want one.

Cabella's bag

This is what I have ultimately defaulted too. I have professional soft camera bags and hard cases. For local travel on my bike, this goes either accros the rear of my seat or on the luggage rack. I ride an '01 Road King. My tripod and/or monopod can rest accross the seat and the bag is strapped against the backrest and side grab handles. Very secure. There is padding in the bag itself, plus I add a bit of foam for added protection. I can get LOTS of gear (body, 3 lenses including a 50-500 Sigma EX, flash, chargers, filters, and even spare socks, T's, etc.

For added rain protection, I carry a waterproof stuff sack that will cover the bag.

The best part of this bag is its usefulness once I get to my destinations. Best camera bag I have ever used. Big central area with a U shaped opening. All heavy duty zippers. I added a small divider in the central compartment from another camera bag to help organize my body/lenses. There truly is alot of room in this bag for its size. Good rugged bag for general use. Leather trim and handles. Solid quick release buckles on the webbing.

Good luck in your search.
