Great pics Wavex!

I like the reflection of the track on the visor in the first pic.

The rainy, low light day set the photographer up for some great shots. I love how blurred the back ground is an the sense of motion. I wonder what lense he was using...

If you dont mind me asking, how much was he charging per shot.

Great Pictures! looks like alot of fun!

Hard to tell with the visor, but you've GOTTA have a big grin.

Great shots, and good form.

Like sideshow mentioned earlier, that shot with the reflection in the visor is just cherry! That knee looks to be flirting with mr.pavement in a couple pics... did it ever make a move or just sweet talk?:thumbup:

it was $75 for the whole set... 39 pictures.

But if you only wanted one, it's $25 each... or $15 if you only want a lower res pic emailed to you.

Definitely big grin on my face all day... I am pretty happy with my form overall, considering it was my first time on that track, and I wanted to keep a margin for error to make sure the Buell would survive the day/// I don't really know how I look when I ride, so it's interesting too see I can see some obvious mistakes, like not tucking in more and getting my head down... but more comments are welcome :thumbup:

Lookin mighty sweet there man. Those pics are superb quality but that tag price still makes me cringe. The reflection in the visor is pretty awesome :thumbup:

just sweet talk

I made a point not to think about the knee on that day... some ppl seem to consider that putting a knee down is an achievement in itself, but while I think it'll be fun when I do, I don't want to make it a priority when I ride... I just want it to happen as I improve my technique.

Having said that, I dragged the tip of my boot on that turn (first pic in my first post above) and it looks like I could touch that knee quite easily if I tucked in a bit more and extended the knee out.... oh well

Excellent shots Wavex!! :thumbup:

 

[DefyInertia]

that first shot with the reflection is in fact awesome...looks like there is a rider in front of you?

 

[FZ1inNH]

Awesome! I agree with the others, the first shot is the money shot! That one alone was worth the price.

Nice David... very nice!!

 

[dako81]

Nice! Making me want a Buell...

Really cool, I hope to learn to do turns like that soon.
