On my way to a national park & i was passing a race track where some fellas were practising. Only really got one good shot in as the dust was unbelievable & blowing into the track.

This guy was pretty cool to watch. Fairly heavily cropped.

Thanks for the vote of confidence mate...something is going to happen soon. Just how far i go i dont know.Do i jump a puddle or do the 100' dive of death in front of thousands into 1 foot of water at the fairground. I was looking in the paper this morning & the flamin' TV i bought last year has already depreciated the exact value of a D20

What was i thinking ??

Pretty cool! Normally, I'd say you didn't leave him enough room. But the
rooster tail more than makes up for that! Very cool shot!

Excellent shot, gusnado, especially since you have shutter lag. Great stuff.

Listen, you should give serious consideration to buying used. Virtually all my gear is used, even my bags, and you couldn't tell most of it from new. Save a lot of money.

Since when do 4strokes burn 2stroke oil?

Ta landrum...ive always wanted to get a bike shot. I appraoched him when he came in & told him he could have it for free. He was pretty happy with that.

Fantastic shot, I love the smell of 2-strokes. If they did a 2 stroke after shave, I'd buy it.
