Ah the Cub!
First bike I ever rode, it belonged to a school friend, he had it given by his uncle. The bike was in 4 boxes and Bob had to build it, which he did with very little trouble.
Those were the days...
My final motorised two wheeler was via an ex WD Matchless 500cc single complete with sprung hub frame. I transferred the engine to an AJS swinging arm frame so that it went round corners. Sadly, the rider on two occasions, did not manage to remain attached to the bike whilst negotiating bends. Fractured wrist first time, broken ankle and gouged leg (requiring a skin graft) a week later. Riding a bike with a busted wing is quite interesting. The hospital was really p***ed off with me!
My Dad decided it would be sensible to invest £30 in a car. It was a 1947 Austin 10 with an 1100cc sidevalve engine and a 3speed gearbox. The dampers were so worn that the tyres rubbed against the wheel wells when cornering. I can honestly say that I had more fun in that car (in all sorts of ways) than any of the vast number of cars I've had since.
Those certainly were the days.....

I guess it must be my monitor then. It's an LCD monitor, does anyone know how I can fix it? It's going to be difficult doing noise reduction and sharpening with it as it is.
Rgds,
Jon.

Chris,
David mentioned on Friday evening that you were driving over today to look over a few items.
I don't think that I could fit those monster Canon lenses in my car, but that gimbol tripod mount is very impressive.
I had a play with the FA 31 today.
I am still trying to decide whether to leave the UV filter on the front or take it off :
Cheers
Chris

I'm interested in the 50mm f1.4, please contact me if it becomes available again.
Cheers
Chris.
PS. the A50 macro is a minter and a steal at that price. I was very tempted but two 50s in one night would be pushing it a bit!
