Hey folks, I figured I'd post up some neat trackday pictures a friend got by accident during a recent event. He had just finished picking up a Go Pro Wide the night before and he accidentally turned on a function that takes pictures every couple of seconds as opposed to video.

So anyway, here are some shots. I think they are pretty cool! I figured some of you guys might like to know about this for the track.... although I guess it could be used for road rides and a whole bunch of other stuff too.

Ya I don't know if the Go Pro HD has the same function, but if it does, they'd probably look even better!

The HD does have this feature, and these pics have inspired me to give it a go next race day. They look awesome.
I will post up the results.

That's Mid-Ohio.... a group of us Canucks invaded it a couple of weekends ago. It was cool too, because there were AMA guys there getting ready for the upcoming Superbike weekend there. I can post up some videos if you guys want.

BTW - Can't wait to make it down to your country at the end of this month... should be fun, winter and all. :)

Go on then - show us your vids.

And if you make it to the Wairarapa, let me know and I am happy to show you some of our great roads

I would love to ride around Wairarapa and many other places in New Zealand, but I will be driving with the family and have limited time as it is. I will probably be driving through the area going from the North Island to the South Island and back. It's appreciated though!

EDIT -> GIANT PHOTOs.... so I linked the url instead. :)

Some more pics and some videos following them

This is Roger filming (guy on R6 above)

That's me getting filmed, I had no idea that after I passed the camera bike he stuck around.

Now this is just a bit goofy... it rained a fair bit on the first day there..... and our guys started going a bit nuts. Except we obviously don't know how to spell. The funny thing is that on the next day, the guy on the Yellow Ducati used that piece of Duct Tape and fixed the spelling and stuck in behind of the leathers of the guy what was filming. He got the wrong guy.... yet the guy that was filming was then insulting all the other riders as he went past them or vice versa. :D
