ISLE OF MAN TT 2009, DAINESE SUPERBIKE RACE - MY WORLD

As close as you can get



If you...

look...

closely...

you can see just how close I was. Check out those flies on the windscreens!


Really got to leave you with a few quick images from the Dainese Superbike Race. John McGuiness the winner( sorry image already booked for the magazine) and me with the photos. Will upload the first side car race soon. 249 images to sort through tonight and guess what? Probably 249 to take again tomorrow. As you can see I am in two different vantage points to take these. Maybe you were there?

Continues tomorrow

    Wow--my son and I love watching it together on the television when we can, but I'm sure it's nothing compared to being there! Those shots are fantastic.

    Looks like an exciting race. It's amazing how far those bikes can lean to one side without falling over completely!

    Glad the weather cleared enough for the race to take place. You certainly had a great view - it looks like the bikes are coming right at you on that curve!

    Can I just point out Babooshka is not the only Isle of Man photographer who covers the TT. Many of us here.

    This is not sour grapes. I am a huge fan of your creative and astonishing work around Ramsey. I also find your text amusing. This love in is a little OTT though. On that note I compliment fully on your work today.
