Micahpop, thats a WICKED picture, How did you take it????? I mean do you have a throttle lock or a camera mounted on your jacket or what?? I've always wanted to take a pic like that but never could figure out how to get the camera out and take the pic with only one hand
1) you need to be on a very deserted road.
2) shoot some test shots while you're sitting on the side of the road so you know that the exposure is ok.
3) hang the camera around your neck with a sturdy camera strap.
4) take off your right hand glove - hard to manipulate a camera with gloves on.
5) get up to speed (whatever you're comfortable with but you need to be carrying some speed because when you take your right hand off the throttle to take the pictures, you know, the bike will slow down)
6) position the camera around chest height and start blasting away (but keep your eyes on the road)
7) rinse, repeat

I'd been working for a while and was just happy to be in the wind for a day!
