I can't imagine it! :)<br />The bikes are for nice rides in the countryside! You know...horses, cows and stuff. Not trains, busses and crazy drivers.Bluekathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13485258388887249275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6457055405703365212.post-80156221694930161942010-02-15T22:06:28.760-08:002010-02-15T22:06:28.760-08:00Kari,

My bike actually does great in traffic and downtown. The RT's are used by many police agencies, I think because they're an agile bike for it's size. I think any of the bikes you're looking at would do nicely downtown too. Wow, one day I might see you and Ron in Portland! Cool!Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11946652999166458805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6457055405703365212.post-16635590963250773952010-02-15T13:12:02.961-08:002010-02-15T13:12:02.961-08:00Bob,

Sometimes I've thought that I can try some shots because my right hand is not busy but there's too much risk of something going wrong. And I really wouldn't want to hurt anyone else.<br /><br />Thanks Bob...Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11946652999166458805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6457055405703365212.post-78773956681181257362010-02-15T07:38:55.969-08:002010-02-15T07:38:55.969-08:00Mike:

I thought that video was safer as the camera is solidly mounted and pointing to the road ahead and all I have to do is push one button to start recording. You just edit the stuff you don't want, later.<br /><br />bob<br /><a href="http://www.wetcoastscootin.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">bobskoot: wet coast scootin</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6457055405703365212.post-56592743182157002852010-02-14T23:20:26.756-08:002010-02-14T23:20:26.756-08:00I'm glad everything turned out all right! :)

While trying to get a couple of easy shots I came close to dumping the bike. Maybe stop and go traffic is tougher than at speed because there's a lot going on, but let's just say that temptation is now gone! :)Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11946652999166458805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6457055405703365212.post-13557095222641435902010-02-14T19:46:42.821-08:002010-02-14T19:46:42.821-08:00You scared me there for a minute thinking you were...You scared me there for a minute thinking you were riding in that mess and casually snapping photos! I love the photo of the bud and waterdrop. More signs of spring! <br /><br />In my drawing class they told us to draw every day for at least 15 minutes. It didn't matter what we drew, just that we did. Never knew what little seed might get planted with a sketch. I definitely see the comparison of photography with doodling.Bluekathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13485258388887249275noreply@blogger.com
