Still not many bikes that can touch a busa. You can break those into the 8's for under 2K. Kick ass bike.

Yeah, I lost my front tire on I-75 in the rain, didn't fall but I sure was close.Scary feeling. I've had quite a few close calls.

Tonga,
yeah, there is no doubt that the 300D is a good camera. i would love to get one, but unfortunately a little out of santa's budget.
I see you are a skydiver . . . I just recently went on my first jump. Undescribable feeling. Nothing on the ground even comes close.
007 - Sorry for not replying sooner - been out of town... I'm not saying now is the time to get a SLR - I meant that very soon the price should drop enough that many could aford one.
As for jumping - I made my first jump in 1981 using a military T-10 in Paltka FL. I have never looked back. I'm glad you took the plunge! :happy:

Got caught in the rain and dropped it after being cut off. No major injuries but banged up pretty bad. Have not been back on a bike since.
LOL - I love my FZR-750. Not the fastest but - enough! I have many scars from the YZ-250 (and other) the the FZR! I guess we all have a ceartain amount of a death wish!

I agree that if digital SLRs become more affordable, that's it for film.
I like my 35mm SLR, though. Much better quality than my digital, and better for shooting action pictures and outdoors. I'm not a photogapher, though. And I can't figure how to get good action pics on my little Nikon 2100 digital. (I have read the manual!) It takes awesome still shots, though.
