I agree. Matt black blends in with the track badly.

Nah still not ready yet, i'm waiting for the brother in law to finish modifiying the fuel tank, hopefully have it back this week then still need to tidy up the body work.

Ah well, you have a bit of time then. HAGD maybe or the Barry Sheene

Or feel free to drag it back south and race with us over the winter

I was there on practice day only, and probably got more shots of sidecars than anything else.....well, you do don't you!
Here is a selection. There are others who may have been shot if anyone wants to ask.
They are all from 2 viewpoints because in 1 practice session you can't get about in time.
If you want a higher res. image better for getting printed yourself, email me. No charge-

(If anyone is interested in photography, I used a Canon 1DIII + 400mm F5.6 lens)
