Sold all my scope gear and bought this...

[Shawn]

Taking a break from Astronomy for a while ladies and gents. but a bloke still needs an interest right... Ok my wife is not completely thrilled about this one. :whistle:

[AstroJunk]

Funnily enough, I sold my bike to buy my dob!

Nice toy:thumbsup:

[Shawn]

Oh the irony, thanks Johnathan...:P

[marki]

I could never decide between bikes or scopes so I just have them both :D.

Mark

[Bassnut]

Nice, the only problem is, its a monkey-on-a-barrel, white-line-screamer, not a laid back cruising Harley ;).

Your now a "temporary Aussie", thats what I recon :whistle::lol:.

[Shawn]

Ah you must be single....:lol::lol:

[Lester]

Please, don't fall off Shawn.

All the best.

[marki]

Ah as the old saying goes "he who has a wife has no toys" :D

Mark

[Shawn]

Only if you choose to ride like a idiot Fred. Im too old for that....:lol:

[Shawn]

I spent 9 years riding bikes professionally Lester, I should be OK, Livestock on the road out here is the biggest worry...thanks for you concern anyway.

[batema]

Nice Hyabusa. Enjoy.

Mark

[Jen]

Nice toy but its a shame to give up the scope though :doh:
:thumbsup::thumbsup:

[Jen]

:lol::lol::lol: well unless you have an astro wife then she be stealing ya toys :D:D
;);):P:P

[Shawn]

Thanks Mark

[Shawn]

Yeah I,m a bit sad about that Jen, Ill pick it up again at a later date. Ill allways be interested in Astronomy. So its all good...;)

[Lester]

Don't try star gazing while riding your bike.

I did many years ago and got introduced to a bush, could have been worse.

[Shawn]

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Good one Lester...

[Jen]

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: yep the stars will always be there waiting for ya to come back ;)

[Screwdriverone]

Hey Shawn,

Where is the bracket for the finderscope?

At least put a Telrad on the cowling....sheeesh!

Cheers

Chris

[marki]

Yeah but doesn't having an astro wife mean having astro kids which means having astro bills which means not having any astro toys to steal in the first place??? ;)

Anyway the big RB will get him to the horizion just as fast as light takes to hit the scope coming the other way. Theres nothing like a big bore bike with the taps wide open to make you really appreciate the fact that you are still alive.

Mark

[Shawn]

:lol::lol::lol: You lot crack me up...

[Screwdriverone]

Oh and I hope the rear vision mirrors are BK7 glass with 1/12th wave dispersion and have centre spots, otherwise take it back...

[multiweb]

What a beauty! :eyepop: If I sold my astro gear I reckon I coud afford a push bike.. :lol:

[Deeno]

Oh yeeeha.....

Haven't had a bike for two years now.
You're killing me!!!

Looks like an un-original GSXR1300.
Rode one to Phillip Island in 2006.
Sooo much fun.........

[DENMONKEY]

Be nice if you could combine the two.

If I could just figure a way to carry the scope on the bike I'd be happy as a pig in ..... mud :)

[Baddad]

Hey Shawn, :)

Your choice alone, you know what you want.:thumbsup:

Quoted in Jurassic Park 3. " Two types of boys in this world. Those who want to be astronomers and those that want to be astronauts.":whistle:

The astronomer is an observer, sits safely back and watches it happen.;)
(Which suits me at my age.:D) The astronaut has to get out and play. (What I used to do.:()

I assume there's still a substantial amount of astronaut left in you?:shrug::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Cheers Marty

[Barrykgerdes]

Hi Shawn

Make sure you choose the right gang to join some of them might be expensive after you buy the right accessories. Knuckle Dusters, Guns etc:shrug::shrug:

Barry

[Barrykgerdes]

I'll swap you a push bike for your astro gear:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Barry

[Jen]

HEHE :lol::lol: well if you had an astro wife you proberly wouldnt have kids cause you be too busy looking at the stars all night :rofl: And arguing over who had the best scope and who could produce the best pic :lol::lol:
:whistle::whistle:

[acropolite]

Nice toy Shawn, like the others say don't fall off and keep a keen eye out for car drivers.
