Default More Trackday Fun (56k will be loading a while)

Shot another trackday, this time at Pahrump instead of LVMS. Pahrump is cooler to shoot cause the track officials are more laid back. Anyways, I was going to make a gallery like I made last time but I shot about 1200 pictures this time and the gallery was too big to put up so I chose some of the good ones to post.

Here we have our very own Marmaladeboy in action!





And here's some other random shots. The guy on the ducati with the CF front fairing was SO fast. A whole lot faster than everyone else.


















I can't wait to shoot at MotoGP next year at Laguna Seca!!!!!!

He actually can't walk, he's in a wheel chair so all his controls are on the handles and when he comes to a stop those bars go down so the bike doesn't fall over.

Oh crap. I didn't know that about the rider. I just remembered seeing one of the instructors riding around with a kickstand doohickey attached to his bike, so I figured it was the same thing. to me.

Not fast. Even though they won a WSBK and AMA championship under CE2 and Nicky, respectively. It's Honda's version of the 916/996/998.

Thanks! It's funny, though, because in those pictures, I'm not hanging off the bike much. If there was a picture of me a few seconds later, you would see me scraping the heck out of my knee sliders.
