Well, congrats on the cover shot. Thats your bike with the vice-grips on the axle? Bad Michelle. Bad girl.Of course, I rode my bike for about 2 months with no brakes or clutch and with a jockey shift, thats pretty intense.

We were traveling at about 85mph up the interstate and my back brakes kept locking up so I knew something was wrong. But we were about 20 miles from our destination so I just slowed way down and hobbled into the campground. It was then we saw the axle was hanging out the one side. about 80% of it. Had to get home on Monday so whats a girl to do??? Chanel locks and duct tape!

You know what they say....if you can't fix it with duct tape you're not using enough! Congrats on the cover

Congrats and nice shot.

Bikes and cameras are a great mix, IMHO. I always have a camera of some kind with me on rides to memorialize the event. I wish I was brave enough to haul one of my dSLR's along but the bulk and value make me opt for my G9 or a cheapo Casio.

While I also ride a twin (there's a bad joke in there because I'm married to one, too), mine's a KTM Super Duke. There's a GSX-R in the garage for track days too.
