    Maybe I am mixed up It did not dawn on me that there was such a thing as an 8mm camcorder. I was thinking of the old 8mm movie projector type films from the 50's and 60's. . I have huge reals of the stuff that my father made and would love to put them on DVD or similiar format.

    Sorry, but I do not see how this would work for 8mm movie film. I too would be interested in converting some 8mm movie film to digital

    The helmit was what gave it it away for me. Then I remembered seeing the bike at Marcarls when Rocket stopped over there on his x-country trip.

    My condolences to Johns family and friends. I too know what a dificult choice it is to pull the plug. Always there is that feeling that just maybe he/she may still pull through. I have had to make that decision with my own father last year, It is not a task I would wish upon anyone. May John rest in peace and may his familly take solice in the fact that he no longer suffers.

    I think many of us have had to wear an eye patch for two or three days for one reason or another and we are all most likely very thankfull that it was for no longer then that. I could barely stand looking through one eye for half a day and as a result would take a chance and remove the patch. It does however make one appreciate a little what it must be like for someone who has to look through one eye much longer if not perminently. Best wishes to you Randy and hopefully all goes well for you in the long run.

    For once we have one up on you Yanks......If we don't want to ride for a year or 10 we just don't renew. When you decide to ride again you renew, unless you cross the ten year line then the bike has to reinspected by a mechanic and a safety certificate issued. Although now that I think about it I can't remember if that was an MTO requirement or an Insurance company requirement , I think it was the later.... However I would still prefer to pay you insurance rates and put up with your DMV headache then pay ours

    Same here, also if you did get a call, instead of hanging up, just let them know you want to be put on their do not call list. They are required by law to provide you with this option and to honour it. It seems to me also that Bell Canada not so very long ago received a major fine for ignoring the do not call list. Since then I have not received any calls from them.
