Got A New Toy?

[sethaiyaar]

(V35 owners only)

Thought this would be a good discussion on any new technology or tech-related things (cameras, phones, in car entertainment etc) people will/have bought...Just to have something else to read apart from all the V35 talk. Oh and a picture of what we are talking about would be better

Ill start, i just bought a new camera, its a Sony DSLR-A350x Twin lens Kit (on my 'L' plates)..its a mean little thing with a mighty punch!!...The main reason i bought it was because of its amazing 'live view' with a tilting 2.7inch screen, it's easy to use for a beginner and, ok this might sound a little stupid but its a Sony and they have never gone wrong on me...ok ok i agree Nikon,Olympus,Canon etc ONLY make camera's and because of that they have huge amounts of lenses available (cannon and Nikon that is)..but Sony has taken over Konica Minolta, so there are quite a few of them around aswell...one of the main reasons is that the image stabilisation is in the body, so no matter how old the lens is i will always have the VDC on .

Thanks, and cant wait to use it for the v35 community.

<sorry bout image quality.

good idea man, although nothing to do with technology (maybe) but ive just bought a brand new toy. a close mate of mine came over and saw hes ducati 848 which he just bought for $28k so i figured id go and get a bike also. its a 09 honda cbr125r in melennium red. i havnt got my motorbike licence as yet but will soon. we are restricted over here under 250cc for first year. reason why i choose a 125cc over 250cc was it was much easier to ride and manoeuvre also its brand new so warranty/hassle of it breaking down was at ease. oh and the LOOK of it is soo PORN! it ressembles its big brother the cbr1000.

hehe iv seen them around before.... they remind me of a postie bike all dressed up particularly with the tyers being so skinny on them. Well on the + side it wont cost much to replace them, I'm going to have to get a new rear tyre on my Ninja ZX636 soon and its not going to be cheap!

Sucks about the 250cc limit, I was lucky and got my bike licence before they changed the rules. Back then as long as you have had an open car licence for 5 years or longer you could do a 2 day course and then get your R licence and go straight off to Suzuki and buy a Hybusa if you wanted no questions asked. I got a 636 because I knew I’d get bored with anything less and anything more powerful would be asking for trouble, particularly for my 1st bike. Although now I would not mind going for a R1 or a ZX12. From the 1st of July in QLD they have changed the rules so you can have up to 660cc as long as the bike doesn’t exceed 150kw per tonne, which i think is fair as a couple of my mates have v twin cruisers 650cc and 750cc and they go ok but nothing like a super sports bike

Tai,

There is a general section of the forums for these kinds of topics. The idea behind the V35 section was not to segregate the V35 community in all ways from the rest of the forums but to have a a place to discuss car related issues.

That being said there is already a general chat type thread in this section somewhere. Please use that for, well general chat

As such I'm closing this thread.
