I may have to take the plunge and get the slicks. There is a certain level of excitement of learning to ride a different beast all together though.

I was thinking; why not get a beater now? I know if I prolong this when I do have some cash there will be some lens, filter, flash a new tripod or a sling bag that will be well worthy of 100-200$ spenditure(<--spelling?) Arg! So torn, so torn.
