Harley-Davidson Q2 2009 profit down 91% - the slump continues...
In an earlier story about the 2008 H-D sales slump, I wondered whether the then-current slump would extend into the 2009 (and possibly 2010) Harley-Davidson model year sales.
Well, I'm sure it won't come as much of a surprise in this economy: Harley-Davidson reports second-quarter profits are off by 91% over the same quarter in 2008. Revenue declined 27 percent to $1.15 billion. Hard times are expected to continue into 2010 as the economy remains weak.

2009 NASCAR - Infineon Raceway - Citizen Kahne
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.
