This year a couple of good mates did some racing with EMRA, I turned up to their first pre-season practice and it rained hard. Between helping with wheels and tyre warmers I managed to grab this shot after one of the sessions. Summed up a brilliant day.

[DarrenSV650S]

It's taking about 10 minutes to load up keith's pic!


There's a lot of good entry's this month :) It's gonna be a tough choice

[Dave20046]

Love that shot bananaman - remember you posting it in a thread a while ago.

Thanks Dave!
One of my favorite roads near home. Lucky shot as I was just snapping pics as the bike went through the bends.
I can almost feel the grip of the tyres when I look at the pic.

[minimorecambe]

L3nny - that is an awesome photo :D

[Richie]

Guys

I didn’t take this picture but it fits the spec beautifully and seeing as they are about to be cut up for scrap, I thought I’d post it for nostalgia. Please don’t include in the voting and feel free to move if you want. It’s a Nimrod MRA4. This is ( was ) the first production aircraft. One of five that have already flown but all have to be cut up by next April because we can’t afford the capability.

Meh... I feel out done.


But on the subject of birds eye view, check this out: http://vimeo.com/17351140 (HD, Fullscreen, obviously)

[Filipe M.]

Wow, that's seriously cool! :D

No need to feel outdone, yours is a great shot taken at the right time, the bird couldn't be in a better position. Very good! :D

[sv4me]

Well it scared the crap out of me :)

I'll bet! I dont mind a bit of fear if I have the illusion of safety :)

holy crap just checked how high the skydeck at the grand canyon is. Its about 2.5x the height of the 1 at Sears :o

[Filipe M.]

Thanks everyone :takeabow: , the January competition is now up and running.

[mr.anderson]

Well here we go again and the opening theme for 2011 shall be, as per thread title, Motion. Being able to imply movement in a "frozen" frame is one of the most powerful things you can do with a photograph, so gentlemen start your cameras and show us some motion.

Ladies welcome too? ;)

[Filipe M.]

Ladies welcome too? ;)

If you must! ;) :lol:

[mr.anderson]

Aw, thanks... Entry submitted.

Canon EOS1000D with a 18-55 lens.
No cropping or photoshopping.

That is cool. Do you know what bike it is?

[speedplay]

KTM 250 SX :)

Not sure what year but think its a 2009 as its got the smaller rear plastics and the cutouts in the rad scoops.


The rest of the pics are here :-

:lol: LOL
You know what they say, the grass is always greener....

The surrounding area is quite beautiful too, with lots of other great roads, but there is no other road anywhere quite like the dragon.
318 turns in 11 miles. Lots of elevation changes, banking, even off camber turns. If you come to ride in the US this is the place. Some of the best roads in the world.

However tis' a wee small area that one could ride all of in a matter of 2 or 3 days, compared to the good roads that make up nearly all of Wales.

Fixed for you ;)

[BanannaMan]

Scotland.








I've heard there was much good riding to be had in Scotland but never been there myself.
Definately on my list though.

[orose]

Bill: you go out of the AR11 site and turn left... and then it gets difficult. You can either take the M6 straight into Scotland, or do it when you're bored with the Lake District.

How can anyone get bored of the Lakes ?

Dude, while you have some great roads, come down here for a blast and you won't be disappointed. :cool:

[fizzwheel]

Changed my entry, decided I'd used that one for something else so changed it for a pic of Tess jumping after a tennis ball instead.

[Reeder]

Some really brilliant pictures entered into the comp this month. I wouldn't be able to vote for a winner as there's so many good ones!

Hi,

I'm no good at photos but my sister (who recently bought an SV, however still not license to ride it ha!) certainly enjoys taking photos so I will post on her behalf and give her the feedback.

I'm sure she will sign up on here soon.

[Richie]

Just got back in from an exercise, just seen this and yes,
I've PM'd Brettus and await a theme :0)

EDIT :- Photo Comp rules amended

[Brettus]

New topic posted.

Thanks for the opportunity guys and especially for those that liked the image, didn't read the voting section till today and was really made up!

Anyway, this one is for the underdogs, have at it folks!

[fizzwheel]

I'm liking the theme this month :cool:

[andrewsmith]

same here!!

Already put one up!

[Filipe M.]

Great theme there, Brettus. Let's see what comes up :D

[Brettus]

Aw, thanks guys, Was my third idea and seemed somehow appropriate :-) hoping it entices some new people and makes those already adept members think a bit differently. Have fun with it!

[Bluefish]

anybody want to buy a d90? ;)

[Filipe M.]

anybody want to buy a d90? ;)

Ask Stewie, he said he was looking for one to replace his D60 :lol:
