Using Picasa or something?

You can select multiple photos and then use the 'Export Picture To Folder' option to resize them to whatever you like.

I mostly use either 800 or 640.

joking apart reliability wise the cali's are no worse than a hardly ever goes...

really depends if you want speed and realiabiltyie go Jap or charisma and the odd headache, go Italian.

i think the trumpers are a good in between.
The Guzzi's I have seen look pretty well screwed together - Colin Andrew's Breva certainly looks pretty tidy considering it's a few years old and used to commute throught the winter.

His insurance is dirt cheap too, and it will have a low CofG.

San & Steve could both have easily had their knee's down if only they'd managed to get their arses off the seat a bit more.

Oh, and if Steve had some sliders too

That's all for now - otherwise it's just variations of the same theme. . . .

It has to be said that in my 10 years of biking, this was definitely the best biking experience I've had.

Great location, great weather & great company

Who's coming next year then??
