Default 2 quick shots.

Well since I dont post too much and I've had a 40D for about 2 years and i can honestly say i havent used it too much. I thought I would share 2 photo's. I'm no pro and I'm trying to learn how to use the camera. Anyway, heres the pictures.

The guys in the photography section are really knowledgeable. You should post some pics in that sections and let them teach you how to get it perfect.

I would think is because is a more comfortable bike to ride, I have a 750 and is not the most comfortable bike to ride for hours at a time.

if you still have the stock nissan centercaps those nissan logo's pop right off with some effort, just leaves two tiny holes on the center caps then you can put some silver vinyl on them or something.. i did something similar to a set of saleen wheels before, and also had infiniti rims as well..

Wow, heat blowing into your crotch, can you say baked beans? Haha. But I think it's more about riding position vs butt comfort. I have a gel seat on my Gixxer 750, but my ZX9 is still more comfortable, because of riding position. To the OP, nice pics but you would do better to post in the photography section to get some good feedback and advice. I'm thinking about getting into photography too, and I'll be checking that out.
