I'm at the opposite end of the spectrum, I was throwing around the idea of selling the 749 and geting something a bit more "uprite" and less painy on the neck than the 749.  Good luck w /the sale.

The bike I'm getting is just as upright.

Do you want to buy an S4Rs?

Bike's in the shop right now being checked over with a fine tooth comb to make sure it's solid.

Here's what I'm doing in the interim:

wow, that's a pure adrenaline rush.  what altitude where you in during the time of that shot ?

We're still "on the hill" (skydivers will know what that means but basically it's when you're still going forward after you get out of the plane & not straight down yet) so we're probably ~12k ft.

It's a total blast, I have a few more pics of that jump if anyone wants to see them.

I guess I'm jacking my own thread.

post 'em up

It is your thread  though you wouldn't catch me jumping out of a perfectly good airplane.

Awesome pic Mr. Dan Are you going to be at the ranch this weekend?
Had a blast at  Skyventure in Nashua last weekend. great  knowledgeable instructors.
Boys and girls lets do this before it gets cold out.

Yeah, hope to be up there all weekend jumping out of a "perfectly good airplane" (note from skydivers: there's no such thing!).

All great guys, sorry I missed your trip up to the Ranch. Just one tandem so far? How much time did you do in the tunnel?

Very, very cool shots, D.

Great to see you enjoying your new passion.

I'm with Jim, you won't catch me doing that...um... EVER!

insane pics Dan, but why do some wear a helmet and some not?
