I think we need more photos people. This is after all a photo board either that or some of *those* messages. Feng, 1.3x is what you want. Nick, you know you want the 12-24mm. Spam you have a 12-24mm you need the 5d. Rob you need to go digital.

It is cool. Much fun to be had on a bike. But as they say, there are only two types of motorcyclists. Those that have gone down and those that will go down.

I had a boat too. Just a little tinny. You should've seen it when I first took it out. The motor was on too much of an angle due to the way it was mounted. If I opened it up the bow would go up in the air so I couldn't see where I was going.

*sigh* I cringe when I hear people wanting a motorbike.

I had a boyfriend who got his motorbike licence and he was riding somewhere one day and a taxi cut him off and he ran into the taxi. He was in a coma for weeks then his parents had to make the horrible decision to turn his life support off. He was only 19.

oh that's terrible Kinnon :( sorry to hear that :(
