Love digital - a combination of timed exposure and fill flash:
(and remember to white balance)

Nice pics! Effective. Still got doubts over that headlight nacelle though! Maybe I'd better go have another looksee in the metal...

I didn't drop it - I pushed it over trying to stop it falling - one of me better ones.
You can just see the sticky tape on the blinker.

I was having a look at those new boulevards at Road&Sport the other night, and seriously.. don't they look like a scooter from the front? :D

Not really, I've ridden it a couple of times and it's not that hard to handle considering the size of the bike.

And apparently Dave is no midget either.

It's actually suprisingly light - relatively.
Size 14 shoe operator error mainly. Obviously slutted and offered to rectify.
It will happen to everyone sometime if you play with them long enough.

Last time was my SR500 that fell on my old mans lawnmower.

I figure if you want stuff that can't fall over - get a car or get over it.

Cool picture...

Better remember to clean all the squashed insectoids off the lens next time - there is some funny looking thing in the middle of each frame...

;-)

nah! You da man!

As an aside, I do love the camera work on Top gear. Those moody wet, golden light of evening shots are fantastic...

I learnt the insectioids lesson the hard way when a days work on a speedmaster was virtually wasted by bug coloured glasses after the on bike shots were done first.

Expereience is a good school - but the fees are high.

Top Gear? Thats about cars or something isn't it - not interested.

Well fair enough but you are missing some great lens work - the camera work makes it! Forget the content, turn off the sound but some of the angles, colours etc are genuinely stunning...

I'd love to have a shot of my bike on the beach with that stormy moody sky etc etc.

Think of it like reading (haha) a penthouse magazine, professional curiosity only darling...

Great photo's Dave, good to see some examples of your great talents.
As for Clarkson, he is in fact somewhat scared of bikes but does ride them. He did a report on the HD street rod awhile ago and declared that ' it seems that harley have finally built a real bike, I really enjoyed it.'

Up yours you big fuckin jessie.

Funny how you kept awful quiet about dropping a bike when you have no issue giving me shit about it, a little embarassed maybe?

And I said nice pics. Harden up Mr Artiste.
