Since I can't decide which pic I like best, I'll just post both. Interesting study in camera position and using the zoom.

This one is minimal zoom, and good positioning of the subject in the frame. I like the feel of this one. This one still follows that 'Rule of 3' thing. Bike + Road + Background mountain to tell you where we are and set the scene.



This one is a little more personal, slightly different style of pic. Like this one too! Little more emphasis on Ayumi & and the GSXR1000 & its relationship to the road at left.

Mark's ZZR - very clean looking bike. No stickers, stripes, ricky-racer graphics, just plain clean. All business. Kawi actually considers this a sport-touring bike. You do sit pretty upright on it.



And then there's that Busa !! Long, thick and low- built for speed!! The SV650 looks on. Note the covers over the fork tubes. David added those to protect the tubes. By contrast on the Busa, the upside-down fork tubes aren't even exposed.

Few more from the SportBikeCam of David while heading down Highway 3 - Hayfork Pass.



Following Steve on the Seca, and Mark on the SV down the hill.
Thanks as always to Harry and his marvelous Sportbikecam.com mount

Eric's Honda CBR 1000 on Highway 299 - Trinity River Canyon



Trinity River Canyon along Highway 299 - fantastic ride. A must do if you've never ridden this one.

Another shot of the canyon - very twisty stuff!! They are still dredging for gold in the river to this very day.
