Great shots!! Erik are you a pro? | ||
| Ebear |
Thanks for the compliment Doug....but not yet......I'm hoping that someone will notice my work and put me in a position to elevate it to those proportions. I've been told that if I can write something relevent to the image it would help but I'd need a whole lot more talent to accomplish that. | ||
| Reepicheep |
Incredible shots! Thanks! | ||
| Bads1 |
Eric, Those shots are just awesome. Were those pics taken with the lens that you let me try at Laguna a couple years ago?? (Message edited by bads1 on March 22, 2009) | ||

There are pictures on soup of Danny it must pain them to even print them. Of course they their trying to taint it with one of their insulting polls. I don't know why I even look I must like torturing myself. | ||

That helmet liner is ment to help safely remove a helmet when there may be neck/spinal injuries involved. | ||

Hope you don't mind, but posting some of these on my facebook page so friends and family can see. Can't believe how many people are so stoked about the bike that otherwise would know nothing about AMA road racing. Perhaps Ebear create your own page, and I'm sure you'd find a few thousand new "friends" online. | ||

There are pictures on soup of Danny it must pain them to even print them. Of course they their trying to taint it with one of their insulting polls. I don't know why I even look I must like torturing myself. Wow, their poll says over 4,000 voted and it's 92% laughing-stock. That seems a little severe and over the top. Someone should point out to them that the Buell is not 1200cc. I guess their point is that the Buell should have to race against other 1200cc twins and liter bike 4-cylinders, not the 600s.} | ||

People are dumb. If the 1125r had that much of an advantage, why didn't they sweep the podium?? Also, I wonder what if anything would be said if the Aprillia should win. | ||

Reading StuporbikePlant-it for moto-news is like reading a college journalism class newspaper from the University of California to get unbiased political discussion. What were you expecting? | ||
| Dbird29 |
I do like the Stuporbikeplanet caption "Danny Eslick took the lead in the Sportbike race and disappeared into the distance" | ||

Cool shots!!! I met Richie last year at Homecoming. Super nice guy!! | ||

Wow, their poll says over 4,000 voted and it's 92% laughing-stock Yeah; and if you took a poll over here on Badweb, the percentages would be reversed. The difference is that we're honest about our preferences and don't claim to be unbiased, while Dean Adams and friends are tools for the Japanese, and feign objectivity. When Buells lost, they sh*t all over them; and now that they're winning, they'll still sh*t all over them. Their opinion doesn't matter. Neither does their poll. | ||
| Court |
I'm old. Even though I may not be a fan of Japanese sportbikes, I have nothing derogatory to say and certainly no interest in participating in a "piling on poll". People, like water, seem to seek their own level. Court | ||

Why do you give a damn what the drones of the establishment say. When changing the face of things, the conservatives will always say nay. I say Wisconsin has given them Buell and all the cheese they want with that whine!!! Go Buell Racing!! | ||
| Hughlysses |
Ebear- Those are awesome photos. Is there some place we could download hi-res versions for wallpaper? | ||
| Ebear |
Good to hear from you , Dana!!! Yes , I was using that lens.....300 2.8 and for the tight shots a 600 4.0. Very few spots at Fontana and Daytona for clear views so a lot of similar shots. So how you been?...Hows that incredible paint holding up? You know , that is my alltime favorite paint job on a Buell! | ||
| Ebear |
Thanks , Erik! I'd heard of those liners and now I see how they work. The pressure goes to the top of the head instead of the neck when removing.....Very Smart! | ||
| Court |
Ebear: Spectacular work! I'd love to get some high res to print and decorate with. I'm thinking the R&D folks would love some of those on the walls! Court | ||
| Ebear |
Hi Hugh....we have a spot here for Administrators to post to that I'm planning on filling up , but otherwise no. My friend Ozzie is helping me with a site to blog some stuff , then hopefully a Website. Untill then I'm looking into posting on a google site or if you have a recommendation for a better spot , send it. The file sizes are so large I could send maybe 2 to your email account.Ping me with ID number of pic and exact Thread and I'll see what I can do! I will be processing pics for a few sites in the next several days so it may not show up immediately. | ||
| Ebear |
Court...I have a DVD of Daytona I gave to Flick and Richie Morris this weekend.He said he would give it to Matt for Fuel. Ping me yours and Daves addy and I'll send that immediately. As soon as I do the same for Fontana I will send , but if theres something in particular I could send to email....I'm working with Aesborn too on info for credentials....Thanks for the compliments....you all have inspired me again!  | ||
| Doerman |
Aesborn That's a new and creative way of spelling my name! Maybe you should stick with Ozzie  (Hint: Think Bjorn Borg with the As in front) | ||
| Slaughter |
Hey Bjorn, didn't you used to have more hair???  | ||
| Doerman |
I should just be quiet, should't I. -sigh- With friends like you guys, who needs enemies. Back on topic. Many ingrediences go into Eric's success in "getting the shots". Equipment $$$, talent and experience are some. Where Eric really has a leg up on the other photog is people skills. Some photgraphers can be outright rude. Eric goes about his business in a quiet and friendly way. The results show it. | ||
| Slaughter |
Also - paraphrasing Ansel Adams when asked how he got all those famous images he was known for - he replied: "f11 and BE THERE" I see Ebear everywhere at the races. He's not just shooting his socks off, he plans his shots. Most legit photographers KNOW what shots they're taking before they leave home in the morning. | ||
| Bads1 |
Eric, I've been pretty good. The paint is holding up very well. More paint work is instore in the next 2-3 week's. I'll send ya a pic soon as its done. I just can never get over your shots.... amazing. | ||
| Ebear |
Thanks Dana!.....I'll be looking for those Photos!! | ||
| Davegess |
Ebear, great work as usual. Too bad my pegasus site never got off the ground I would be proud to show these off. Tryin gto make it as a pro photog is a bit a struggle. If you want some thoughts from someone who has never made a livibg as a free lancer but has worked as a photog for many years let me know. | ||
| Budc |
Ebear, Fantastic work, as always! WOW what a weekend. Do you think Erik is off that cloud yet? I know I'm not. Thanks Danny and Richie for giving the rest of the World a glimpse of what we already knew about the 1125R. Keep it up! BudC | ||
| Reepicheep |
Ansel Adams and F11? Maybe at night... | ||
| Slaughter |
Awwww heck, it was actually "f/16 and BE THERE" I shoot f22 at night for depth of field. Exposures of 2+ minutes (ASA100), tripod, hand-held strobe for light painting. Wear black jeans and hooded sweatshirt and I just disappear in the image as I walk around popping the strobe:  Yeah, film is a fetish now. No way I can do the images that Ebear does. | ||
| Buell2001b |
how about those Buell girls, they are hot. if they out that girl at the winning podium I would hurry my ass to the finish line too,lol | ||
| Slaughter |
Geico girls keep getting in the way of the machinery. | ||
| Court |
Steve. . . . . for more fun. . . set to "bulb". . . wear your Buell t-shirt and walk through the scene hitting the strobe every other step. Don't ask.  | ||
| Ebear |
Wonder how AAA feels about Geico?  | ||
| Oddball |
Get your motor run'n..... Head out on the raceway Look'n for the checker No matter who steps in our way Yeah Buell is gonna make it happen Take the turns in a love embrace Slice all of your apex son And, take charge of the race I like smoke'n tire Heliconic thunder Race'n with the wind And the feelin I fall under Yeah Buell is gonna make it happen Take the turns in a love embrace Slice all of your apex son And take charge of the race Like a true race'n child We are Buell, Buell to be wild We make lap times drop I never wanna stop Buell to be wild Buell to be wild Think Erik and the band can record that? A touch of Steppenwolf for everyone. Just a crazy 4am inspiration. Hope ya'll like it. | ||

BTW- Anybody else notice that Danny's upper fairing is cut back in front of grips? I wonder what's up with that? | ||
| Ceejay |

Yea, it occurred to me that I must be slipping if I'm looking at the bike instead of the babe... | ||

Did I dream it or was there a photo of Eslick dragging his knee in the grass? Thanks, Keith | ||
| Blake |
Dude. Did you just watch that video with the Geico girl on the Buell and are asking about a picture of Slick? Pit crew nazi says: No pit crew 4 U! | ||
| Macdiver |
Great videos. Boy were those stands empty. On the AMA website there is a photo with Eslick on the bike after the race with one of the Geico girls in the background. Nice photo. | ||

| Dfbutler |
I particularly like the fact that the lead was big enough Saturday that he could wheelie the length of the straight. | ||
| Ebear |
And that was SOME WHEELIE too!...Looked like he was getting a little wobble near the end , no doubt due to the slope of that front straightaway and possibly running out of "Rrs"........ Any add-ins , Danny???  | ||
| Rmr |
Danny is on the road....driving to do a taping at Speed then on down to Road Atlanta. I will tell him to log in with you guys during the weekend! Thanks for all the support!! | ||
| Fdl3 |
When Danny popped that monster wheelie, all I could think of was "please don't crash...please don't crash..."!  | ||
| Ebear |
Thanks Mr. Morris......much appreciated!  | ||
