Citizen Kahne, Rosebud Never Looked so Good

Orson Welles first revealed the meaning and the relevance of "Rosebud" in his classic 1941 film production of Citizen Kane. Sixty eight years later, another Kane, Kasey Kahne, was able to experience his own "Rosebud Moment" when he won his first race of the year and the tenth of his career at Infineon Raceway's Toyota/Save Mart 350, the annual Sonoma California slugfest that rarely disappoints those who thrive on cocktails made with world class wines blended carefully with just a touch of high octane fuel.

What do you do when you love to ride and shoot photos once you've graduated from a point-and-shoot camera? How do you bring along your digital SLR camera, spare batteries and memory cards, accessories, zoom/telephoto and other lenses, cleaning materials, and other goodies?

Sure, you can stuff everything into your garden-variety backpack, tank bag, or hard or soft luggage (if you have any), but your precious gear probably won't have much protection against dust, dirt, and damage. Improvised storage usually lacks convenience, and you may find yourself digging through your backpack for just the right item.

I've been packing a Canon digital SLR, lenses and accessories for several years now, and I have been seeking safe and convenient storage for combined motorcycle rides and photo shoots. A non-motorcyclist photographer friend gave me a quick demo of one of his Lowepro backpacks, and I soon began looking for a smaller Lowepro pack for motorcycle rides and other uses—when I found the Lowepro Slingshot 200 All Weather Backpack at a local store, it seemed perfect for most of my day trips along with non-motorcycle photographic use.

There's plenty of room for a digital SLR and accessories, and one or more medium-body telephoto/zoom lenses, such as a Canon EF 70-200mm telephoto zoom lens . There are plenty of handy pockets and other storage for memory cards, batteries and lens cleaning supplies.
