435 miles on an FZR...

[Cycle61]

Dude, great ride man! I like your FZR. I had a purple one myself until a month or so ago. I had to sell it, I am 6'5" and it killed me to ride it more then an hour or so... I have actually owned 2 FZR's in my time, damn good bike!

Thanks! And damn, 6'5" I thought I was a bit big for this bike. Where the hell did your knees go?

I love mine, although after a recent guardrail incident it's a naked bike until I get new plastics all around. May go for a different color scheme at that point, still undecided.

hard pressed up against the fairing I tried to get used to it for about 7 months, guess I am getting old. I was in my early 20's when I had my first one and would commute on it 140 miles a day from Nevada city to Sac. It didn't really bother me back then.

I already used that one in February, drove up to Yosemite to shoot the Firefalls instead

I am ignorant to this, WTF is a firefall? Did you selectively desaturated this image?

Dont get me wrong, I dig the shot, just wondering how it was done.

No selective desat, that's cheating

Here's an article a friend of mine wrote about it, in Shutterbug Magazine: here.

Cliff notes: Horsetail falls, mid-February, on a clear evening after a warm week after a heavy snowfall. Easy, right?

Wow, thats cool. Learn something new everyday. I don't cheat in my photography either, although I have been accused of photoshoping or multiple exposure many times. You do much night photography?
