Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

That's the way I went with my 'quick' bike, only riding the odd weekend, eventually it was sold
Safer to watch MotoGP or World Superbikes on the TV

To go back to the OP, I seem to have become a "Pentax Pro Master..."

I hate people who can still ride their bikes

I rode mostly Ducatis for twenty five years. I was 17 when I passed my bike test and 31 when I was blackmailed into doing a car test. Never had an accident I couldn't walk away from.

One day I went to cut some flowers for Mrs Oggy, tripped carrying the knife and stabbed myself through my hand. I'm not complaining too much as had the hand not been in the way, the knife would have been in my stomach. Result - the first finger on my left hand is now a sausage. Three fingers against a Duke clutch - er, no.

Back on topic, I am now a Pentax Master. If only...

Not sure I agree with this new nomenclature. As a hoary old veteran, I am surprised to see myself classed with veritable newbies like Womble.

No offence intended, Womble.

George has a point - for 4000+ posts perhaps Pentax Sensei would be in order?

No offence taken. "Pro Master" sounds a bit OTT for a bumbling amateur like myself.

Cheers, K.
