Double Bonus points if you can name the rider - triple if you name the rider AND the track.

Hint it's in the USA and he is not riding his own bike.

Unreal Shot. What's with the flames? Really cool though.

Flames are just unspent fuel being ignited in the hot pipes... overurn when the throttle gets chopped suddenly.

No idea about rider and bike, but is the circuit Laguna Seca?

Nice shot btw!

Cheers,

70-200L shot @ 120mm 1/1250 ISO200

I really love the small pieces of burning fuel behind the main flames.

Yep...Kawasaki has brought Akira in to help with testing the new bike...It's sure is wierd to see him on RL's bike though...

Amaizing shot...

It'll be interesting to see how the new ZX-10R does in Superbike this year! Although I don't think anyone will seriously contest Mladin for his 7th championship...It'll at least be more intertaining...


GO GREEN!!!!!!.....(I take delivery of my 2006 ZX-10R in April)

Sweet! I see Yamaha is testing today and tomorrow. Will have some to share?
My guess is turn 2, Andretti Hairpin.

Aahhh. The top of the Corkscrew. I never get to shoot it from that perspective. I'm always shooting up from the outside of 8, the public side.
I'm as green as Roger's bike with envy :-)

I know nothing about bikes (well, except the type without brakes)... but I have to say that is a very satisfying image. Well done.

What kind of bikes don't have brakes?

A unicycyle maybe?

Looks like you have the gear to do it... patience is key. Even though my camera takes 8.5 pictures per second I rarely click off more than one at a time.
