    Excellent Andrew thumb.gifthumb.gif

    I've always liked your action shots and I'm not too into B&W, but that first shot blows me away. iloveyou.gif It would make a really nice large print that I could see hanging in my local HD shop clap.gif

    I really like the 1st and the one where they rider is looking over thier shoulder when taking the turn..

    The 1st one is just too coool.... so simple, i dunno to me it looks fast just sitting there, and it makes you beg for more


    That "turn one" is so rich in color and has such as sense of speed and control

    awesome.....

    Very nice!

    The first Bostrom with the mountains in the background is unique.

    The testing is interesting 'cause you're catching rider behaviors that usually you wouldn't see during the races: looking around, hanging off funny, and so on.

    I give them an around-the-world snap and two claps! clap.gif

    Superb pics Andrew. thumb.gif

    How did Neil Hodgson do? I saw him at the NEC and during an interview he said that Ducati would be giving his team more factory support this year. The race he won last season in the wet was the best display of wet weather riding I have ever seen. If I remember correctly he said that he was aquaplaning in 5th geareek7.gif

    Outstanding images! The shot with the rider leaning into the curve is very good!:):

    Neil was a tad bit slower than Ben Bostrom, who was a tad bit slower than, well guess who? Mat Mladin.... Without checking I think neil was 5th or 6th fastest overall (perhaps)...

    Did you see the picture of Neil at Daytona in Motorcycle Racer magazine?

    The WSB and BSB tests went in Ducati's favour, Bayliss and Haslam are putting in some impressive times. If, and it's a big if, Hodgson manages to win the ama it could be a clean sweep for ducati this year.

    I haven't seen Motorcycle Racer in the newsagents here. Was it a picture you took?

    A quote from Hodgson after winning at Road America last season

    "I was aquaplaning up the front straight right up until the end,"

    An amazing race. eek7.gif
