It will eat up some big days in the saddle too , get out there and into it mate ,,,

Yeah I’m pretty happy with it eages. I was almost going to jump on the ADV ride at the birthday but Sunny Corner on the RMX is just too much fun to pass up.
Not much of a ride today. The flu has got a hold of me and I had to take a dog to the airport which took up half the day. Now I’m working over the weekend so I may not get out on the big girl till next week some time.

Twobanger that’s what the guy who owned the 610 was after in the first place. I think he was remembering the 610’s of a decade ago when they were more enduro based. He eventually realized his mistake and is now looking at a TE449.
Maybe I will need to update the RMX to match. Nah bugger that it’s still the cheapest and most fun bike I ever bought.
My Golden Retriever just demands to come in side where its warm.
Galey I’m not sure your dog is a fan of that footy team as he don’t look happy.

GaleyI think Canon rule the market with their compact point and shoots at the moment (I am a Canon shooter so I may be biased). You really can’t go wrong with a Canon compact. The only place Canon fall short is in a water resistant/shock resistant model. They have the Powershot D10 but its specs are very disappointing.
Olympus have ruled this segment of the market for some years now with their Tough series. I have a TG770 which has been great but the kids have given it a good workout in surf, on kayaks, fishing, waterslides and swimming pools so it is now not as waterproof as it once was. Still working but the screen is playing up.
I am off to Fiji in September and along with my trust Canon DSLR I will be the taking the new Nikon AW100 for watersports. I got to use on of these recently and it is a trick piece of kit. When I get it I will get it out the bush and do a review. It has a 16mp CMOS sensor and is shockproof, waterproof to 10m, cold-resistant, has GPS with maps, compass and point of interest. For those into video its also 1080HD. On specs this should make a nice compact bike camera. I can’t say the image quality will make some of the Canon’s but being Nikon I can’t see why it wouldn’t.
They sell for about $350-$400 dollars in Aus but if you prepared to risk oversees without warranty can be had for under $300. Not cheap but certainly reasonable for what you get and around the same as the Olympus Tough range.
It comes in a few colours even orange for you KTM freaks
I will be going for the camo model.
