Hi mate, sorry I missed these when you posted them.

Bikes are great to shoot, but harder (for me) than cars.

I like these however they seem a bit 'washed out' lacking some 'pop' for want of a better word. Numnber 2 is a great shot, a really good superbike shot. Did you have media accred? If so, do they still want 10 images or what ever it is they asked for?

I do like the shots where you can see the riders faces, with the look of concentration. It's a great angle and your shutter speed seems spot on, with the right amount of blur. I was going to say they maybe seemed a tad soft, but it's so little, I asume it's more to do with jpg compression than anything else.

Well done I reckon.

Great shots Tassie, I reckon he can't get much lower on the 2nd image, I've heard of scraping pegs but this is crazy! Keep 'em coming.
