About time the bike pics started coming back :D

First and second pic, esp the second are great. Eyes from the guy in the side carriage gives the impression that he'd rather be not that close to the ground.

some quality shots there.

looks like the red bike got a new fairing and paintjob, but his leathers have been left till he gets some more cash.

Great shots John. Those sidecar guys have either got balls the size of basketballs or they are completely crazy - or maybe both.

Numbers 1 and 2 are particularly good.

John terrific images. #1 and #2 (this one is a gem) are my picks. Great sharpness, OOF background and frame filling sense of action.

Thanks Guys, yes back into it again although it was a wet day so had to sneak out between showers. Was a good day though and the sun did shine at times.
Cheers

Simon, this young fellow is a very good rider from Warnambool Victoria and well like some he take the race glass off when it is just ride days as no point scratching all the good glass with sponsors and stuff over it. A lot do this.

John, the 2nd is different and very good. Of course, they're all excellent, your photos always are. Maybe that's something as they are all kind of the same high quality. The sidecar is a good change from the usual classics. I think I'm rambling here mate, better head to the sack soon.

Any chance of some nice Triumph Rocket III shots sometime. No idea how you would get them but it is one huge bike!

Thanks Max, yeh it is different and well we dont see them often thats the problem. There are a few when we have our big race days and thats about the only time we see the sidecars.

I also love watching these and there is some close racing and yes you do have to be mad, i am going to have a go at that sidecar soon as i am all better as i have been thinking about buying one for fun, put the camera down and have a play. This is my mates sidecar and had a few problems with a battery on Saturday so was a bit of a bitch to get gong as it doesn't have a starter motor so it is all push start.

Fot the rocket well one of the members in our Ulysses club has one and is a nice bike, but kawasaki has a 2ltr bike out as well and it is a monster but not my type of bike.LOL

I love number three. Maybe not technically as good as the others but I love the struggle that the rider seems to be having with his bike. He obviously wants to go one way and the bike is going in the other direction. As usual great shots

Outstanding work as usual John, Number two is the pick for me. If this is his first time on the side no wonder he is looking a little pensive at the ground :D
