It's kinda technical..
OK so maybe I should have posted elsewhere, but then it was shot from a gsa beak so if i rename the thread 'technical sample of image quality when shot from a gsa' will you forgive me me moderator?
Regarding the sportsbike overtake, then yes, he was flying. I did see him in my mirrors so delayed the accelaration out of the bend until he had sneaked past. He did wheelie all the way past the SD with 300ft of air to the left side and solid rock to the right side and a 120 degree bend dead ahead. These guys know the road like the the proverbial back of your hand. Look at the stills to see how committed they are around a blind 180 degree corner. Amazingly, if you sit there for a while, a coach or articulated lorry rumbles past (occuping the best part of both carriageways) at circa 15kph. The funniest thing is seeing the Harley owners footing their bikes round the corners. I didn't take any pics of them as they all looked a bit harder than me!
It was more sobering on the way down as some of the bends had a thick black rear tyre type skid mark terminating in a dented lump of armco.
The SD btw was ridden by a chap called Lee, check out the SD forum for feedback as he has also started a thread. I checked it myself and the majority of the replies are to do with my crap camera work...
Who cares anyway, I will be back before the end of the summer to do it again.
