Its a nice ride too, I bet a bit like the isle of Mann only shorter. They have a 12 hour production car race there every year but there isn't a 24hr race. They did hsve a 24 hr race back in 2002-2003Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10160712689280276620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119951275142904676.post-17367444731190108122013-01-19T12:14:44.483+11:002013-01-19T12:14:44.483+11:00Damn cops, they take the fun out of everything.

Like you tho, I think I'd end up not pulling it out as much tho.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06395364582355269753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119951275142904676.post-3510054277728139652013-01-10T18:18:44.000+11:002013-01-10T18:18:44.000+11:00Yep i'm right with you there.

If I bought one of those big bas ass SLR cameras I doubt I'd get the thing out very often plus it would get shaken about on my R1 with it rough suspension and our poor roads.

Ooooh sunshine.......<br /><br />Too bad your camera crapped out on you but at least you have a replacement ordered.<br /><br />Size matters when it comes to cameras and riding. So much easier to put a little point and shoot in your pocket. I find that if I have my little Canon in my pocket I will take a lot more pictures than I do when the larger one is in saddlebags.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119951275142904676.post-51627444406065809622013-01-10T06:46:26.437+11:002013-01-10T06:46:26.437+11:00Jules

Not bad though.<br /><br />I've just ordered another IXUS camera to replace the one I have as it has been a great little camera, is small enough to put in my jacket pocket so I can whip it out quickly to take snaps whilst on the move.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10160712689280276620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119951275142904676.post-57259487285351747572013-01-10T06:42:26.931+11:002013-01-10T06:42:26.931+11:00Geoff

I'd have liked to hammer the car around inleu of not having the bike.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10160712689280276620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119951275142904676.post-71941086415338249592013-01-10T06:33:48.418+11:002013-01-10T06:33:48.418+11:00No Bob, It's just a simple point and shoot cam...No Bob, It's just a simple point and shoot camera with not much you can adjust and it has never taken blurred photos before even in manual mode(which is auto focus - huh hows that work then)Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10160712689280276620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119951275142904676.post-87115798232988554652013-01-09T18:21:29.339+11:002013-01-09T18:21:29.339+11:00Steve some good shots despite the camera woes.

No-one in our household moves all day when THE RACE is on!<br /><br />Incidentally, I have intermittent problems with my IXUS too. Great little camera but I'll probably need to upgrade soon too. Look forward to hearing about your purchase!Geoff Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041523109817248619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5119951275142904676.post-74481753148718208772013-01-09T11:29:43.971+11:002013-01-09T11:29:43.971+11:00Steve:
