Dave, I have friends that do the sort of stuff that you are intending to do.

Just one word of warning, and this comes from a very experienced biker.

The instruments you take, be it camera, lenses, binos, they will virtually shake to pieces, from the vibrations of a motor bike.

My friend found that his 50mm lens he took vibrated that much that all the screws actually unwound and it fell to bits in its bag.

He literally had to pour the contents of his bag on a white bed sheet to find all the bits and repair it.

It all depends on where you carry it on a bike the rear pannier is not a great place.

Leon
