Just ordered my first ever Kayak from Nick at Vortex, an Advancedframe 10.5 footer. My plan is to carry it on my 250cc motorbike and explore local waters. Quite a few around here as I live in the South East of London (BR6), so can reach the Thames and the Medway easily. Looking forward to it, now the summer is here.

Welcome Steve!

Good choice! The 10.5 is a light kayak and folds away into a small enough bag - even with the paddles.

Post some foto's when you have a trip?

Cheers,

Ian

Create an account on Imageshack or some other picture hosting website and add a link using the "Img" tag.

The image URL needs to be a link to an image. Your URL linked to a flickr page *not* an image. I clicked on your link and then clicked on the "share" button. The image URL was embedded in the BBCode link!

I find ImageShack to be better suited to this use - they provide direct links to the picture.
