That was a great pic... didn't they do it poster-sized in a magazine?d121eaac26997667f7c8d172400efbe3.jpg
Yes, I had it on my wall which why I posted it. Dennis Ireland hit a concrete post when he fell off and missed several months of racing. Remind me a bit of the Max Biaggi wheelie as well when he nearly goes over backwards.

Can't find the head on photo (by Gold and Goose) of Mick Doohan about to land back in the seat following a highside that he saved. Great photo.

Though I usually look away from the 'gratuitous use of female form to promote motorcycles' style of advertising (my standards admittedly slipped when I was buying Fast Bikes) that shot is actually rather clever.

Just a shame that having set it up, they didn't tweak the front wheel so it was absolutely straight. Or get the model to angle her arms to match.

Didn't ensure that there was the same lighting for both? Check the shadows.

Photoshop of two images, but with red light from the left to tie the two together?

Same here. I thought it was clever matching but was a tad reluctant to post it for fear of starting a "birds n bikes" thing. Yes I'd have straightened everything and shoved her over a bit too.

The locals will all offer tea to retirements, especially the old biddies who watch out of their front windows, seen it several times as a marshal. :)
