While driving or riding?
In either case, gopro.com seems to be the standard. I'd have one if I didn't have such a huge list of other must-have items.

I keep a point-n-shoot in an open pouch on my tank bag. All the camera's knobs are taped down so they don't get bumped and mis-adjusted to the wrong setting accidentally.
On a straightaway I can slide my left glove off between the seat and my crotch, withdraw the camera, shoot, put the camera back in the pouch and get the glove back in pretty quickly. I am prepared to drop or toss the camera to the ground instantly should I need my left hand to control the bike.
I keep a better camera in a tragkorb for higher quality roadside pics while off the bike.

Same here. I managed to find one that I could manipulate with my gloves on so I didn't have to mess with gloves on/off.
I also have it on a lanyard so it's easier to grab out of the tank bag without dropping it.

I don't run my tank bag much anymore, but when I did I put my Canon A590is in the left pocket. I could easily pull it out, and take shots on the fly with gloves on.

Mastering shooting a P&S with the left hand isn't all that hard with a little practice.
The trick is to find a good P&S that is "glove friendly"...the dude at the camera store thought I was nutz
when I came in with two left gloves to "road test" a potential new purchase :hehehe

if your digicam can burst about 10 photos in a couple seconds you will have a better chance of getting a desirable result..
