:o far too much lean angle for my liking, especially on a road circuit.

I by far prefer to see pics of the DD boys on it;)

Rutter at Macau is my favourite, the one where he is brushing the wall with his shoulder.

Simon....That's my favourite picture.I think there was a small write-up somewhere describing how the photographer managed to get the photo.....It was basically a question of hiding in the middle of a hedge for ages + just reeling off loads of shots.Guess you gotta be really patient/talented and lucky too to get such a classic shot. The other picture that sticks in my mind is the one of Wayne Gardner (I think!) on his NSR500.....The one where he got thrown out of the seat in a big way but was still hanging to the bars :bouncy:

The pic was taken by Stephen Davidson.That pic,and many more are in his book "Beautiful Danger".Some great pics in there icluding Foggy on the 888 at the NW200.
I hear he has brought out another book entitled "Ragged Edge",that will be on my Xmas list for sure.:D

Favorite pics, I have loads and alot of them come from the pure road racing events especiallyif they of my bikes or my mates.
Just come across this one recently, the top pic that is. Notice all the 2002 bikes then in the bottom corner is a 1998 Fireblade at the time it was owned by Senna3 who had got it off Weeksy. To it we fitted the rearshock and a couple of bits from my 97 Blade, then we let my mate Adrian loose on it. Starting 89th out of 90 and finished 29th and a Bronze replica

Always loved the pic of Troy Corser crashing with a kwacker, can't remember the rider now, loved it.

If someone can find it...........
