UK-Triumph Triple Challenge Round 1 - 2009

[Swaffs]

Well after a long winter and some equipment upgrades, I was out for my first race meeting of the year at Brands Hatch last weekend.
It was a special weekend as it was a celebration of 100 years for the oldest motorobike racing club BMCRC (Bemsee).

It was the first outing in anger for the MKIII, and I was really impressed, the AF was spot on nailnig just about every shot, I'm no long whingeing about wanting my MKIIN back!

Here's a few tasters for you. The weather was glorious!

#1:Well done Ralph Lo Turco who took 3 out of 3 wins in the TDG Cup (>25 Class)

#2:Also Well done to Alex Olsen who took overall wins in race 1 and 3 winning two pots in the Michelin Cup.

Lovely shots rich -a great series. Looking through your gallery it looks like teh weather was fantastic!

I especially like image 142. His riding style is very unique!
The guy who has run off the corner is nice too - looks very lonely!

Rich only managed these three so far which I think are superb. The nit pick I can come up with is the first picture the top of the second riders head is cut off.
