 Javier, 
 I also like cameras and motorcycles, although not for long distance travel. I
 mostly ride back roads on a Ducati or Dual purpose bike. I used to leave the
 leicas and home take an old OM-1 wrapped up in a towel. I have since gotten a
 Pelican 1400 case. It holds three bodies and a few lenses in a hermetrically
 sealed, shock proof, crush proof shell of tough plastic. It's a little heavy,
 and a little bulky, but probably no worse than having a bunch of camera stuff
 badly packed and poorly protected. I just decided that quality equipment
 deserves real protection. 
 Happy trails--and photos

Joe,

Thanks a lot for the information.  As related on an earlier post, I also ride
Ducatis on twisties roads.  The Pelican case that you allude to is an
interesting topic that I had not thougth about.  The particuar case that you
currently have, what size is it? does it have a model number.  You can e-mail
privately you save bandwith.
