Whilst I totally respect the right of riders to wear whatever they like, I do personally think that the HI Viz gear is much more deserving of the name usually reserved for BMW riding suits. ( That OK James? )

Yeah, great vid. Underlining the philosophy that its what you do with your bike that counts, not what sort of bike it is (or what sort of clothes you wear). Adventure hog thread take note.

A short ride out near Caldbeck today

Happy new bike.

I think this weekend is the Farmyard Rally.

I've just signed up to Bikesafe in Carlisle (thanks to this thread). Cost£10. As someone who has never had any training I'm bound to pick up something useful :cheer:

If you can live with using your legs to zoom the 40mm pancake lens would make your 7D much more packable

I used to have a Canon G10 which was solidly built, the newer ones carry that tradition on and there is one with a DX sensor, bigger than most compacts. I have been looking closely at the Fuji X20, which also seems well built and has had positive write ups.

The GS, otherwise you'll have to change your name :laugh: :laugh:

Cheers Al, some really interesting stuff on there.
