No, sold my racebikes when I went to Japan, and they take the sport too seriously there for me (ie they are too fast for me). So I bought my KTM there, luckily it was Australian complianced so I imported it when I came back. Slowly turning it more into a touring machine than the original evil urban commute-beast:

RS125 - tiny little things, aren't they? I'd look like a monkey riding a sausage dog on one...

M9 - I've tried lots of slide digitising solutions with very mixed results. A good flatbed scanner, scrupulous cleaning of the slides & scaner and a lot of post production skills (photoshop) can give reasonable results. For good results you need a good dedicated slide scanner like a Nikon Coolscan (no longer produced, but available on fleabay for $5-600) or just take your best ones if you don't have too many and get them professionally done. None of the cheap slide scanners work, save your bucks.
