They are all Harley-Davidson 1340cc Evolution engines but probably bored out to 1500cc
This one reportedly had a 2000cc engine

Very nice - Any fights

Must have been pretty crowded. Some amazing machinery - the croc one is particular good....
It was packed and getting close to the guys was near impossible and i wasn't about to go pushing through a couple of thousand bikers to get a pic
No fights surprisingly considering the number of biker clubs that were there. It was great day and they built a bike on stage and raffled it off

I particularly like the croc chopper!
I watch OCC occasionally on Discovery when there is nothing else on. It always amazes me how they manage to produce such amazing machines in between all the cussing and fighting
I actually prefer the cussing and fighting over the bike building

Thanks Clarky. The lens I am getting is mainly for my young fella. He loves to take shots of bugs, creatures etc so I figure it might be something he can enjoy and learn with.

I might use it sometimes as well.........
I am into the bugs and creatures also. I look forward to seeing some cool spider pics

Just saying hello.

I found this site by accident and was so thankful to find a site NOT taken over or dedicated to Nikon and/or Canon (they make good products but.....).

I have a K100DS and simply put, I like it. It suits me. It works well. I am a learner and I can enjoy using it. The only thing stopping it taking great photos is the the loose nut holding it. My youngest boy uses it and gets some good shots and if it is easy for him to start enjoying photography at an early age you can't ask for anything more.

I live just north of Brisbane, Queensland. Anyone else from my neck of the woods?
Welcome to the forum Mitcho. I am from Sydney but don't hold it against me and there is a couple of other aussie here also. If its learning your after then you came to the right place, a very knowledgable and friendly bunch you will find here

It hasn't been determined what flash he is actually using as yet :
I was just using the 360 as an example.

Edit: i just re-read his post and i now realise he is using the built in flash

So what flash are you using now :
I use the AF-360 set too P TTL and let the camera decide the shutter and Aperture and i have got many good pics. The odd 1 or 2 might not be the best but thats down to me not the camera.
Post a couple of the pics you are concerned about i would be interested to see them and compare them with the ones i have taken.
