The only (as far as so far found) motorcycle pictures that I remember are of some lads messing about.  They were using trail bikes around a nature reserve (poor show really).  Access to the reserve us across a simple footbridge across the river (Tavy I think) that flooded at high tide.  This is quite a narrow walkway and the water depth either side is about 1 metre I guess - deep enough anyway.

A bit of bravado.

Of course the other sort of biker, the pedalling sort, has its share of what I'd regard as mad people.  Cyclocross for example.

which one is mine? by Nigel G, on Flickr

(Had a request for that last one to be used in a book from an Australian Professor, to which I agreed as long as I was credited. No idea if it was ever used.)

Love that snowy bikes picture.

Thanks. I can't say for certain, but IIRC the blur was almost old school. It was taken with the wide-angle  lens which had condensation on it and not done in PS.
I could be wrong though.

It's exactly what I have in mind as perfect for the September monthly theme. Ha!  It has the feel of danger and suspicion and  Eastern bloc about it.  A story waiting to happen.

[dreampolice]

Certainly Eastern Block. It was in Krakow.
