RF and a bike

[Goodyear]

Have always wanted a motorbike. It runs in my family (my uncle buys a new Fireblade every year - sometimes switching out for a year to something equally sexy).

But my wife has put her foot down, and some battles I choose not to fight.

After all, she puts up with plenty else 😀

The title of this topic attracted me because I thought it was about bicycles, a.k.a. bikes. Language is a funny thing. I've traveled acrossed country to Nova Scotia and to Glacier National Park and Yellowstone on motorized "bikes". Took lots of great photos, slr-sorry guys. Now I like the speed of the man-powered "bikes" as Simonakar does. The slower pace allows for closer observation of the payment as it comes up to hit me. I've had accidents on both with resultant pain. Still enjoy them but the traffic and telephone-distracted drivers scares me too much to ride a scooter.

Oh, bicycles- Mercian, Serotta and Cannon. The Mercian was my race bike, the Serotta is my post-race touring, and the Cannon is my non-motorised dirt machine.

That saddle is seriously canted forward.

I have the saddle canted a few degrees forward on all my bikes... seems I'm most comfortable like that! Weird eh? To each his own, etc etc.

Rangefinders are great when I'm cycling but, I confess, my most commonly carried camera is the Oly XA2 when I'm out riding. I'm a courier and the XA2 slips nicely into one of the pockets of my Crumpler...

Have to now include my favourite photo taken while out on the job 😀 I will now stop hijacking threads :angel:

Monoposto Ducati so my camera goes in a bum bag (Fanny pack ?) along with the few bare essentials so no room for an SLR really 😀

Have always been a little crazy that way!

I commted to work at night for 3 years (on a honda goldwing) but the animals on the road were making me very nervious. Sold the bike and bought a small car (chevy sprint), the next week I hit a wild pig at 1 in the morning. Glad I wasn't on the bike.

I can't stay away from bikes very long though.
