I've no idea who this is, but it sums up 1980s British motorcycling for me and how stupid we were.

Re: Motorcycling photos you just like
I've never found it online (but it must be somewhere), but there's a photo of one of the TT Marshals going through Ramsey on a CBX1100 (the 6 cylinder), the alternator casing is on the floor and the front wheel is 2 inches in the air! Perfectly timed photo.

The sdgt was bought with the 5k off deal. Cracking bike but niggles a plenty.
The Buell Ulysses was a gamble I lost.
But still nice pics.

Have the original print in my office, found it whilst clearing out my dad's stuff, have no idea who or where it was taken but love the nonchalant use of everyday shoes for some odd reason.

Pic heavy! Always loved the pics of Stoner and had the poster of Doohan up on the wall.
Unbelievable Baz with his elbow down in the wet, wet tyres are just unreal.
My favourite ones

Three spring to mind.
Nicky Hayden on a Ducati Hypermotard.
Taken at the top of Mont Ventoux. no idea who the rider is, I just thought it looked like a good photo to take.
This one was taken on one of the roads between Orange and Mont Ventoux.

Ironically enough back in 2013 Nicky did arse about on it like Ruben Xaus above.

I remember riding a mates GPz1100 dressed pretty much like that at 3 figure speeds and not even thinking about the consequences. I now wince seeing kids on peds wearing the grey Nike "Tracksuit of Invincibility"
Ian B had a cracking picture of a bloke on a CBX arriving off the ferry for the TT in the 80's that is up there with the one you picked for being "of the time" perfectly
