R12S by 50mm

Took an old Nikkor 50mm auto F2 on 5DmII (with an adaptor).
edit: Can I avoid auto resizing?

Mark,
Did you end up keeping that bike, or was it wrecked?

I dropped it in 2004 and had it repainted by a friend in BCR colors. (If I'm honest, I think the yellow silver is still the best-looking R1100S paint scheme.) Kept it for a few more years and then sold it to the guy who did the repaint. A year later, I sold him my FJR too and he rides it a lot more than the R1100S. He complains about the vibes. I could see it migrating back to my garage eventually.

Only if the original is small enough. I think it has to be 800 pixels wide at the most and under 200k or so file size. The best way to post images is to host them yourself and put in the link. Then they can be any size, but more than 1,000 pixels wide is probably too big for a lot of viewer's screen resolutions.

Burns Park in Little Rock. Over by the golf course there is a Log Cabin where somebody homesteaded there before hector was a pup.

I need to take some scenery shots, but this is nice to look at too.

Bound for Bruges



Hi All, new forum member here posting from Antwerp, Belgium. I'm an American who relocated here last August, spotted this '07 with 17,000km on the odometer, Akrapovic exhaust, and panniers at a BMW dealer near to me and pounced on it back in April. To date, I've logged 3,000kms riding around exploring the beauty this country has in store. Been falling in love with the bike a bit more than the country so far.
