I've had a few bad experiences with 2 wheeled combustion driven vehicles so I admire from a distance.

@da wanqsta: Once again, awesome pics at that bike show. I'm not quite a bike person but will try to get a ride in the summer.

Bloody fox strikes again! First the Dutch irises were turned into a makeshift bed and now this. If I catch the thing I'll be tempted to neuter it with a blunt Stanley knife. My friend bought his daughter a sponge football, left it in the back yard last night and found it like this earlier today:
N73:
So how does one deal with the fox problem, Wanqa? Are there commercial products available which deter them? We used to have a problem with moles, nothing really seemed to help. It got to the stage where i would leave notes in their burrows, telling them about the luscious green grass and juicy earthworms opposite the road
It seems it worked, they've vamoosed
Blue ball and fox, like Firefox!

@ Jojo,
Wow, you have a good knowledge of performance pipework brands, matey.
Kerker are still around, but not one of the main players like they used to be back in the 80's and 90's. Remus are strong in Europe, particularly with BMW bikes. They are made in Ausria and although they are not the most performance-related pipes, their build quality (usually stainless steel construction) is very good. Termignoni are the pipes of choice if one owns a Ducati, although they do make for other bikes too. It's kinda like UIQ and
, or S60 and Nokia; one's pretty much synonomous with the other.
Similar with Suzuki superbikes and Yoshimura exhausts too. Yoshi have always been amongst the world's best and the fact that they still build the pipes for Suzuki's officia MotoGP team says it all.
But as regards the best mass-produced performance pipes, Akrapović are probably still (currently) the world leaders.
@ JK,
LMAO, yeah it must be!
You're sharp. I shoulda really picked up the 'visual connection' there, particularly the way the ball was mauled a la 'continents'.
@ da brixsta,
Enkosi. What I find the hardest to prevent when taking many of these bright daylight cellphone pics is the amount of light which gets reflected from white surfaces. I had to take quite a few pic of each bike from different angles to get a decent shot without being over-exposed.
Over-exposure often seems more of a challenge with this cellphone than under-exposure. (although the latter can be almost as frustrating when those horrid blue specs sometimes manifest in low light conditions..)
I'll never forget the first time I took the mrs for a ride on a superbike. It was back in 2002 and one of my friends in SA had allowed us to use his bike for the duration of our holiday time in East London. Even though it was a very powerful bike, the last thing I would've want to do is give into selfish adrenalin and testosterone commands and blast along the twisty roads around the East Coast Resorts. She was entrusting me to respect her inexperience and limits, which of course I did.
People who try 'impress' any newbies who are riding pillion on a superbike by going balls-out to scare them sh!tless don't bring out the best in me. It's so very different when one is in control of such a powerful superbike as compared to being pillion.
@ jmash,
Eish boet, 4 years and counting is a phenomenal innings for a cellphone in anyone's language. It's good to hear that generally that
smartphone has served you so well.

Taken in central London, close to Oxford and Regent Streets, using the N73's integrated sepia effect in the first pic. I thought this effect worked well on the Tudor architecture in this pic:
Around Trafalgar Square with Nelson's Column, and the SA embassy adjacent to it:

Not the greatest N73 pics out there, but one gets an idea of the experience that is part of the 6 levels of stuff in Hamleys Toy Store, Regent Street, central London:
Got place for a life-size giraffe fluffy toy in the house? That'll be a cool £1500 sir...

Palm Treo 680 & P900 physical size/layout comparison pics:
Not bad pics taken with its limited VGA camera. A damn shame that such relatively new handset is equipped with something this lowly, even if the handset's targeted to the obvious business-orientated fraternity.
Both have some girth of note.. :
Stylii:
The Treo's larger stylus is far nicer to use and its chrome accents look cool:
