I did, nice weather as well. Bit hot in all the gear but better than losing skin! Just as I got home the heavens opened. Got a few shots off from the Portrait Brownie as well as the Comet and the Minolta 16P. My wife is off tomorrow as well so if the weather holds we are going to visit a couple of castles on the bikes.

Sounds good. I've a week off at the end of the month so hoping it warms up a bit.

What SV have you got? Pointy or curvy? Switching from my SV to the wife's ER6f just makes it more obvious how cramped the SV riding position is. Can't say I have seen a snap of yours or Johnny's bikes.

Pointy k4 naked.
Here's a couple I took last year on the Dacora, including an unintentional 'God knows what happened there!' double exposure.
Like you, I find it a bit cramped, which is the only problem I have with it. After 2 hours, my legs have practically seized up.

I bet those bars offer a slightly better riding position over the clip ons.

I don't find it cramped, I'm 5'11 but I do like sports bikes.

Kenzie a while back you said you were looking for a certain Kodak I think, what was it?

It was a Duo 620. Lost my Perkeo again. Wanted to take it out on the bikes but can't find it. Just found an Auto Albinar special 135mm f2.8 m42 in my collection. No idea what it is like but I just opened it up and cleaned the mech as the aperture return was sluggish.

Yep. I like the high bars. I tried a naked and an 's' and preferred the naked's riding position. It's my long legs and the knee angle that are the trouble.

Well I got away with minimal aches. Only did 57 miles and my butt was numb! I cleaned up the Trip, light seals are toast but the aperture and red flag work ok. Might tart it up a bit.

Sounds like you got another decent little camera there. Did you take any pics on your ride?
