VERY nicely done.

The first one is my favorite.

Really? I liked how it was hiding behind the grass in the second one, so I submitted that one for POTM. Maybe I should've gone with the first....

My photog professor always tells us "lines should move you through a picture rather than out of it." Maybe I'm thinking about it too much, but I'm also going a bit on initial instinct too - the foreground stuff in the second is a bit distracting, and seems to take away a little from the subject, but that may just be me. The downside to photography is it is so very subjective.

What worries me is the possibility of it cutting out in a corner or on the highway....

I took the switches apart and cleaned the fuck out of the wiring contacts and got all the dirt and grit out of the housing. It was still loose after that and would sometimes flicker but id jiggle the starting switch and it'd act right.

2001 F4i for 2500 (after fixing it) is decent. That is about the price here in CA 2500-3000. They are high miles tho. because they are great commuting bikes.
