XR650_home_sml.jpg

In June 2007, while looking into buying a new motorcycle for my son and assisting with the purchase of a new bike for my son-in-law, I also bought a new bike for my self. The '07 Honda CRF450X is an amazing piece of technology: Fast, Powerful, Light, etc... The only problems being, at almost 44, I'm not so fast, and definitely not so 'light' as I once was... And. after a difficult year (two injuries), I decided it was time for a change of pace.

So, out with the '07 CRF450X and in with the '05 Honda XR650R. This may seem like a backwards step for many but I can tell you (after only 100km in the saddle) that it was the right choice for me!

The CRF450X was a race bread fire breathing enduro machine... fast, light and great for corner to corner sprints on a motorcross track, but not much good at cruising down your average fire access road or along the railway lines (the kind of riding I do most of the time), unless you are trying to race the midday express... I don't enjoy going that fast anymore!

The Katanning Dramatic Society Inc, put on a show in Katanning each year. This years show was called "Opportunity Knocks" - by Judith Prior. (by arrangement with David Spicer productions) Directed by Robert Godfrey. Set Design by David Papenfus.

The photos in this slide show were taken by me on the second last night of the show.

As someone who enjoys building and hosting websites... I thought this was BRILLIANT!

BTW, I found the above video here while following a link from here while doing some research for a web design project I am currently working on.
