  1. It's dirt on your sensor. You can get a tornado blower and blow it out. Do NOT use an aerosol blower. Put it on M, and set the shutter speed to Bulb. That will hold the shutter open while you puff it out. Hold the body upside down so the dust falls out once dislodged. Hope that helps.

  2. I took a direct splat to the left elbow, right knee, both gloves, and to the helmet. The gloves did a good job at keeping my hands safe. I sprained my knee, which nothing really could have helped. And the jacket... I got a deep contusion on my left elbow. The CE armor saved me a certain bad break there. 35 to pavement elbow bash doesn't sound good at all. I'd hate to think of how it would have turned without my gear.

    Her insurance will be covering all my gear too.

  3. Coming home from work downtown, and I had a woman decide to turn left- not from the left lane, which was the one I was in. She takes a sudden turn, and I find myself flying over the hood of a Jeep Liberty.

    I hit her front wheel panel, and decided I liked the feeling of weightlessness. I must say that everyone rose to the occasion. A nurse was a witness, and held my head to keep me from moving. Two Bicyclist Police Officers witnessed it too. For some reason they didn't want me to phone my daughter to say that I was going to be late, but that I was OK.

    I took this picture instead then.

    The woman was cited, and my bike is totaled. Looks like it's new Aprilia time. All gear was worn, and worked perfectly. Gloves, helmet, jacket, boots... I'm still sore though, because 35mph to an airborn dismount still hurts.

    Anybody knows of a Bol d"Or in the area?:p
