Took this through my dirty windshield. Using a UV filter cuts out reflections so it worked pretty well to capture the group in front of me.

That looks like a lot of fun. I still haven't gotten my 1100 out yet this year. I guess I'm too focused on doing highway miles on my bicycle instead. I'm sure that will change soon.

Keep the pictures coming.

I have a helmet-cam. Older model but it has anti-shake to it. I should do a video in and around Bear Mt. and the Hudson Valley.

Cool!
(that Ducati is probably worth more than any car I've ever owned http://markweinguitarlessons.com/forums/images/smilies/eek.gif )

When riding with a group, you really gotta' trust and know the others.

Thought you guys might like to see a couple of photos of me at some local track days, one on my Cagiva Raptor & one on my RVF Honda, Scanned photos so they are a bit grainy.

Looks like fun! I used to do a bit of knee dragging.
I grew up with Keven Schwantz and used to ride dirt bikes with him at the local trails. He did pretty good, but I'd hate to live in a body with that many fractures these days!

Schwantz was a fantastic rider along with Wayne Rainey, sad to see Wayne end up the way he did.
In that photo on the RVF I was doing a race school & what you can't see in the photo was my instructor standing on the apex of that corner with his foot tapping the grass saying this is where your knee should be, it felt like I was going to hit the guy!!!!!!!!!! But thats what you have to do to shave tenths off your lap times.
In the race the next week ( I was the only guy on a road registered bike ) one of Australias top riders at the time Steve Trinder, came under me in that same corner his tyres would have been on the inside of that white line.:help
I did manage to get a trophy but not for winning. Best presented bike:dance

Time for some downhill action.
Go full screen for the best effect, and hang on!

That is unreal, I think a change of undies would be in order after a run down that Red Bull track on a treadly!!!
I hope they did not have to ride up!!

A few years ago with a full suspension DH bike, hell yes! Not at pro speed, of course.

Wow! Landing on the vert versus the flat made all the difference.

Yeh you would have to think that landing on the vert saved him from a broken body, hell of a long way to drop.
Those guys really earn the bucks they make!!
