BIRDING BIKE. I just got a Honda XR125L for birding along nearby mountain trails where my 4WD can't go. My preferred combo for trail birding is a 7D + 400 5.6L stored in a small backpack.
The bike's small engine has just enough juice to haul my nearly 200 lbs of San Miguel beer fortified body up steep trails, albeit I've to switch down to 1st gear. On the plus side however,
the bike sips gas very economically - about 55 - 60 km per liter in highway driving, and slight less on mountain trails. Handling is great too, even up and down steep dirt roads.
Shooting info - San Gabriel, La Union, Philippines, March 2, 2014, Canon 7D + Sigma 10-20, 11 mm, f/11, 1/60 sec, ISO 160,
manual exposure, camera atop a backpack on the ground, uncropped full frame.
