While I was shooting the Street Triple R, a V-star rolled by so I had taken a few snaps of that. These are the only 2 that came out pretty good, but I cut off the tail light on the second one. The other pictures I took are good shots of the front half of a V-star though!

I had actually forgotten about these until the rider sent me a message on facebook asking if I got any shots of him. Apparently he had seen the ones I posted of the STR and uploaded.

I'd try a slower shutter with these to get better wheel blur and feeling of movement. I really like the background and the placement of the shadow on the background slightly in front of the bike.

Noted. The issue with that was I was just shooting the Street Triple R which was going considerably faster, so the shutter speed was right for that. I turned around and saw this guy going by so I went with it.

Since I don't Pan too often, I really can only get keepers above 1/100 or so at this point. Even then, the majority are not keepers. I'm trying to get out more, but I've been busy. I just need to stand on the side of main street and pan for a few hours.

I like #1. The light is better on him, too.
