Motorcycle friendly digital camera
What kind of camera are you using?
Right now I just use my wife's camera (a powershot or something). I attached a ram ball where a tripod would attach and affixed it to another ram mount where the mirror hole is on my street glide. As I am riding, I would turn the camera on and snap a few photos while it is in the ram mount.
I know I should be keeping both hands on the controls and paying attention to the road.........
Just wondering if anyone else does this or how they capture some photos.

Packs easy, waterproof and very tough! Check Ebay and Amazon for good deals.

This camera looks pretty cool. Takes HD video and stills. Not a bad price either.
I hope to get one for next years riding season.

GoPro HD camera!!! It can't be beat. Like you I put a RAM handlebar mount with a camera mount and it worked great. The camera can be set up to take pics every 2, 5, 10, 30 or 60 seconds. I bouth a 32Gig SD card and took over 2000 pics when I went to Sturgis. When I got home I downloaded and edited down my pics to around 150 really killer pics. The beauty of this camera is that is also does 1080HD video and comes with a waterproof case. Send me a PM and I can email you some pics that I took at Sturgis this year.

I too leave the picture taking to the S/O.
She has a little Kodak M-381 w/an 8 gig SD chip. Not the best camera, but wouldn't loose much if she dropped it going down the road. I only use my SLR Nikon when stationary!!
Have been thinking of one of those helmet mounted setups...kinda spendy though!!
