So Rayza and I have been wanting to get some nice wallpapers of ourselves, as the ones through the net are.... well.... not us :blip:

So we had a corner in mind, the weather was good and my camera was charged up. So out we went. Rayza had a little play at wheelies, and he is slowly getting better. I can't do that yet, so I settled on trying to look good when cornering :yawn:

Quite surprised from some of my photos showed a "little" bike underneath me... which... well.... it ain't. Drat.

Yellow bike is some poor fellow who was mixed up in our shots. Tickled us pink with the suspicious look and complete difference in cornering posture :rofl: (which is obviously understandable). If its you, well, ya free to take it. We suspected it was a gsx250 or something.

Looks more like an older 80's FZR, have seen some 80's GSXR's like that though.

Looks as tho' the yellow bike rider is trying to get around the corner by 'braile', judging by how far his inside foot is hanging down.
Later at the pub: "Yeah, got my toe down alriiight! It was off the peg ":sunny:

Sa-Weet Lazy, thanks a lot for that. :2thumbsup I reckon only riders with real taste ride one of those :D

I have thought about organising a photo ride, and Big Dave did one a short while back.

The problem is timing, and especially weather. With a mate or two, you can just do it on the spur of the moment, if the weather is good. Also, with a large group, it draws more attention (and possibly the wrong kind). Technically, Rayza and I reckon we weren't doing anything wrong, as we weren't speeding, weren't pouring diesel on the roads etc etc

Anyway, my suggestion is to do it on the quiet. Pick a corner you absolutely love, and get a mate or two, and armed with a camera on a fine day, head out to it. Then just swap around and grab shots of each other :ride:
