Down the road…

Brother Matt at speed south of Tecate, headed into Mexico’s Rumarosa Grade…

It’s the end of an era, a passing of the torch (so to speak).  My good buddy Matt wanted to learn a bit more about shooting with a real camera, and I told him I’d work a good deal for him if he wanted to buy my old D200 Nikon.  Like Don Corleone, I made Matt a deal he couldn’t refuse on a rig that has served me well (and you, too, if you’ve enjoyed the photos here on the CSC blog).

The NIkon D200 and the storied 1st Gen 24-120 Nikkor lens, complete with all the accoutrements!

I brought the camera with me to the CSC plant today (Matt’s picking it up early tomorrow morning, before we head over to the Owen Collection on our monthly Dual Sport and Donuts ride).  I thought I would grab one final photo with my faithful D200 (soon to be Matt’s), and what could be more fitting than a shot of the last of our 2017 RX3 motorcycles!

The last of the CSC 2017 RX3s!

Yep, they’re all sold, but not to worry, the 2018s are inbound.   And there’s still time to get on the list if you want ride Baja with us…that next CSC adventure is coming up in two months.  I can’t wait.

You know, on the ride over today I was thinking about all the places I’ve been with the D200…Canada, just about every state in the US, Mexico, South America, the Middle East, Europe, China, Thailand, all over the Caribbean, and more.  It’s been a faithful servant and I’ve made good money with that camera on consulting gigs, magazine articles, the CSC blog, and more.   Matt’s going to have a lot of fun with it.
