I don't know if the right section-

I'm looking for some new motorbike desktop wallpapers. Think epic open desert road, think beautiful cafe racer, think arty colour shadings. I'd like them to be all cool-like so no Hi-Viz jackets or bikes covered with luggage. And High Definition, please!

Examples:

Cheers Mav, It could be, but I take them just for my hobby. I took a photo of Wayne Hamilton that was drawn by an artist, but Wayne tragically died at the Manx, so the picture & artwork were both used on his Funeral booklet. I felt so proud. The part that hurt the most was that I was talking to his Uncle Des on Facebook when Wayne won the 600's race & I told him that he was a racer for the future. Totally gutted when I heard he had died.

That's just what my dad did with his paintings, he did it for pleasure, not to make money.

But you've done the hard work and pictures of Guy would make you a little pocket money.

But you'd need to add a watermark to protect it.

Mmmmm...... I spose it wouldn't harm :) Cheers matey :)

This was my favourite pic of the whole week. Mister Michael Dunlop doing what he does best :) Full size, even if I do say so myself, is an awesome picture

I'd buy the one of Guy, there's something perfect about it IMHO.

Your one of Guy is pin sharp on my screen, the one of MD looks ever so slightly soft on the edges, maybe its the lighting

Giving Shutterstock a try. I have about 20 Gig of pictures, so will see what happens. Cheers Matey. Have to put you on commission if I sell any :)

This is the one I have at work. I tell people it's me on the bike. It's been around a while so most may have seen it.

Littleoldman - Those settings are sweet. If it was a different bike those pictures would be perfect!
