Ghost pillions?

[swbarnett]

yes. I initally thought it was movement when the shot was being taken but the helmets are different and the jackets are different.

A small percentage of the exposure time was while you were in position 1, an even smaller percentage of that time while moving, and the bulk of the exposure time while in position 2. This explains the difference between the rider and the ghost. Also, the light would've been slightly different.

Could be a tiny, evil, invisible dwarf, with the power of teleportation and an interesting sense of humour? That's the only thing I can think of.

c'mOOOOOOOOnnnn - if it were and invisible dwarf, it wouldn't be in the PHOTO would it?!

Swamp Gas?

Aha! Indeed, thanks for pointing out the flaw. Your reasoning therefore proves it must be a tiny, evil, invisible dwarf, with the power of teleportation and an interesting sense of humour, AND the ability to become visible for short periods.

Open and shut case.

I just zoomed in on the picture and I can make out some blurring between the two helmets. Evidence for the movement theory.

Well it's gotta be Finn then.

With common sense enough to wear all the protective gear! If evil dwarves wear it then squids should to

[cowboyz]

there is no right answer. it is what it is. I was Tail end charlie at that stage but Manwithav8 had stopped on the side of the road further up. I wasnt aware of anyone behind me.

So it is either the theroy with the slow camera (dont know why nothing else in the photo is ghosting) or manwithav8 tucked right in behind me just enough that you cant see his bike. I text him and he thinks he wasnt behind me but could just be stirring the pot.

No idea but looks cool and evil at the same time.

This photo was taken on the friday night ride.

First bike is the 08 ninja 250r (without USD forks) with monie on it and the second is my zx9r.

I was not 2up. pretty damn sure I left home alone.

Interesting photo

Mrs C claims it is her spirit taking the seat cause no one else is allowed on her seat.

It looks like that is a hand holding on, under the left arm.

Do you have your pillion pegs down when riding by yourself?
Maybe one of the boys was watching over you on that ride.

Who ever it was was offcentre to your lean into the corner.....
like they corner differently to you.


EDIT: looking at the picture again...... that is a another bike and rider behind you.
Damn good shot to make it look like you had a pillion on the back.


EDIT AGAIN: there is shadow coming off the red and green bike only.

[swbarnett]

So it is either the theroy with the slow camera (dont know why nothing else in the photo is ghosting)

It just illustrates how fast you move when you change position on the bike coming into a corner. Because the movement was across the line of sight from the camera it picked up the full effect. It's just a fluke of timing as to when the shot was taken.

[Motig]

I think you have some explaining to do...........

[Lil_Byte]

It may have been a Taniwha - I hear there a few of them this time of the year up North

[AllanB]

Who ever it is that explains why the 250 is beating your arse around the corner

Dam passenger slowing you down.

[cowboyz]

you think thats bad. You should have seen it when it got to the striaghts. She was gone and I can honestly say I never saw her at all on the striaghts.
