♥ them all. #9 has a flightless bird on the helmet, could that be "The Kiwi Bomber" Bruce Anstey?

Number 4 is KILLER. The focus on his eyes and the focus IN his eyes...plus two tires off the pavement. Outstanding.

Wow! This is probably the strongest series of motocycle photos I've seen. There is a real sense of just how far out on a limb these guys ride. Outstanding work.

Terrific stuff here norty. The superposition of these two wheel gladiators and pastoral settings makes for a target rich environment. I'd love to shoot it myself one day.

A buddy of mine ran the Macau GP twice and Isle of Man TT in 2009 where he had a horrific crash but somehow only managed to break his arm. He was certainly one very lucky guy because his GSXR 600 was broken up into multiple pieces. I've seen some crashes in my time and have never seen a bike get that destroyed like that.

Regards,
Jay Medeiros

Last ones from me

Senior Friday arrived and turned into Senior Saturday. And rightly so in the end the Senior was cancelled but they did run the Lightweight TT

21. Again the weather wasn't too good so there was a lot of this going on...it was a long day

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7234/7362232484_9680b3a65c_o.jpg

22. At least we got to see some action in the Lightweight TT

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7232/7362230948_d401b21ba7_o.jpg

23. I always thought when you went round the corner it was better to have the wheels on the floor....

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7216/7362231150_d9e8e409e8_o.jpg

24. The higher view

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7086/7362229634_981bcc3dd9_o.jpg

25. Down the Garrow

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7086/7177006367_ededdf43e7_o.jpg

26. I did say it was a long day....
