2 weeks ago I was down in Vegas shooting for an upstart bike manufacturer doing tests on their new MotoGP bikes. Shot alongside the Discovery Channel in 3 different locations over the course of the week. Testing for prototype bikes is not nearly as exciting as one may think, you need A LOT of patience. Here are some nuggets of joy from the week though.

    That's pretty beyond upscale--and I thought $20K was a lot of dough...

    Can't do MotoGP with a production bike, no matter how expensive. That's been the puzzling thing about their efforts to date. headscratch.gif It's an interesting project though.

    Nice pics! thumb.gif

    I've been following the MotoCzysz project all along. Some amazing, and I mean AMAZING, engineering in that bike! I'm a big fan of Michael and his dream.

    Hey, I've climbed those rocks in the background of your first pic! :D Nice shots, all of them. I'm curious though if it's a good move to give your company a name that has five consonants in a row. headscratch.gif hehehe.

    In case you were wondering it's pronounced: moto-zizz. Has a nice ring to it.
