I'll start :)

Love the above Heckler. There was one similar to that on the old Visit Mt Beauty tourists guides. Bloody beautiful!

There seems to be a bit of a mid 90s DH flavour so far...

I think I may have to go take some pictures to even things up ;)

I shall post a picture of my commuter, the mighty marin bear valley, when I get a chance...

It has "Afterburners". :confused:
