... Been pretty busy and hectic for this model and still is. I've known about the bike and seen it in many forms through development for about 4 years.

Andy had saved up for a couple of years, doing extra hours in his own business as well as taking on other jobs to make sure the wedding was special. He's got family out there, so being ...

Probably about 5 years or less with Ducati... they seem to be the only people that really push the boat out though IMO

Those photos are pin sharp and have great depth.

I haven't bought a new camera for about 6-7 years now. these things improve so rapidly.

My new camera (makeup) 8) 8) DSLR? Mirrorless Sony Alpha (5100) I've got an old Canon DSLR which I've used for over 10 years (its been very good) but its tired and i got fed up of how big and heavy it is. I wanted a fast camera that I can change lenses, but is only a little bigger ...

I got some new batteries for my Nikon today. Not used it for two years and they'd died.

... of winning on the Honda and seek a new challenge on another bike? Its been a privilege to watch him, Rossi and Lorenzo dice it out these last few years. Could be a long time before we see so much talent in one race season again once Rossi finishes.

I've got the compression 3 turns out and I'm still hitting the bump stops. Definitely needs more damping, but then to be fair it's 6 years old and probably still on the original oil. Roll on next spring and a trip to MCT.
