Let me assure those who are free head in the breeze wheeling riders that the first time you look through a Leica view finder to photograph a 'thing that was skull holding brains," it "ain't a pretty picture!" It will immediately cure you of any thought of free wheeling in the breeze! Oh yeah nearly forgot, but they make smashing great Leica colour shots whatever lens you use. ;-) And this one from the good doctor, "ted do you have colour? I need some close-ups of this part?" And out comes the 100 mm macro and you go close! It really isn't a pretty picture! Wear a helmet! Take that from an old Harley rider! :-) The only good thing that comes from no-helmet riding is a higher number of "organ donors!" So to those who think they have the "right" to ride however they please. "Thank you very much for your body parts so others may have a better life!" Obviously you didn't and or don't care about yours!
