Nice photos dave. Was a good day, i had a great time :first: can't wait til i can get out there myself :nya:

[boomer]

Stunning; You're bloody good with the camera Dave :niceone: :niceone:
Even better is the fact i didn't even know you were there so i was concentrating on going in a straight line ( instead of posing :blip: )

Bling despatched!:first:

Awesome day, sunshine and good company and a bit of red mist meant i only saw the Sand trap once and had a bit of a lie down :angry:

[DemonWolf]

Boomer.. any damage to the bike or yourself? when you had your sandpit lie-down?

[boomer]

Luckily enough DemonWolf.. only the pride mate!!!


I learnt a new trick from MotoBob about Jennian.. you don't need to break off the front straight at all; Just drop her down a gear and fly through the corner; The mission today was to get Jennian and castrol sorted as i hadn't tried to master that side of teh track. well i managed to fly through there however i'd just passed ChickenFunkster coming up onto the front straight when i saw that he was still with me so looking down at the speedo saw 160..looked up and realised i'd totally missed the line!!! Stood her up locked the brakes up REAL hard and took her onto the grass. Its at this stage the bikes still going a fair old pace and i can't use teh front so im stomping on the rear...still going..still going.. here comes the sand.. fek fek fek fek .. No brakes now and i'm wobbling through the sand and manage to come to a complete halt!!! I'm thinking Christ that was lucky and then over she goes!!! :shutup: No where to put my feet and the bike goes over with me trying to lay her down gently!

So, to cut a long story short.. No :doobey: but i've got a huge headache now from my adrenaline rush :doobey:

[The_Dover]

Shit Dave, did you add a bit of motion blur in there with photoshop?

It actually looks like boomer found the throttle!

Nah - tweaked the levels slightly - apart from that it's raw.
Shot it at about 1/250 th and pan with the subject.
You get many more crap shots than killers, but when you match the pan to the subject - it makes a jaw dropper.

Boomer was doing all right - more importantly in BD world - he looks good doing it!

[oldguy]

Only did the one session what a blast had the VTR going hard, first time Iv'e every got to redline her in every gear, had to take of early to have a look at another bike out Kaiaua way, as I was still buzzing from the track session the ride out there and home was a blast as well.

Incedently I've recommended this

to the wife as she is traveling over to France with my daughter in about two weeks. Any comments as a travel, point and shoot camera. Seems about the best in the price range. I like the 10x zoom. A view finder would have been nice but the zoom won.
