John - you always take such fantastic shots !!!! Perfect - feel like I should be snapping my head sideways to keep up with the bike ! I personally like the first one - primarily because of the concentration on the face of the rider, that you can just make out through the visor.

Love your shots (which is pretty amazing seeing I don't like bikes ;) )

Drifter it has been a lot worse and well on these ride days they dont bother to cut it and it has pissed me off more than once, but was not too bad at this moment but i have another big race meeting in 2 weeks time so maybe they will trim some of the edges for me.

I love the first pic as you can see the intense concentration of the rider better. The composition and focus is spot on too.
