Thanks, I tried to get as low as I could but I was in some long grass on a slight uphill, so short of laying down in prickles I couldn't get much lower, and I'll remember to level the horizon next time. I'm using a pretty junky Vivitar camera and don't know how to expose longer, I didn't even know if the picture came out because the screen on the back is small (1X3/4) and kinda low quality.
I also took these two, I know the last one is pretty bad though:

i know i have too many stickers. i am powder coating my bike white and purple soon though. would it look better faded white in front or purple?
and i like many colors but that bike is just too girly. i have a friend who rode his bike the next day all pink and did not take a part off to do that. all spray paint.
