That really is a nice photo . . . it's a bit of a new, and refreshing twist, on the classic "low in the corner" shot. The lines formed by your right arm, that hideous pipe and the grass make the eye "explore". Having the grass our of focus makes it add the the action, not become a secondary subject. Nice . . .

Wow, that bike's got some SERIOUS lean angle....... That's what my Ss looks like when it's on the kickstand. Not pokin' fun at you Dave, just a little at the bike. Not that it's designed for such a feat..... ~SM (Message edited by Swordsman on November 17, 2009)

And a Phil Read, aka "The Prince of Speed," series Vector Arai helmet on his noggin, automatically causing extra lean in the corners and full tilt on the straights.

mox, last year's "Cycle World " article by angry man John Burns includes this gem [approx], "It's pretty cool when the guy wearing the Arai Phil Read Replica helmet is Phil Read...."

>>"It's pretty cool when the guy wearing the Arai Phil Read Replica helmet is Phil Read...."<< Yep.Tres. The local Arai importer supplies my helmets. Not as cool - but I'll take it. :-)
