Troy Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 (edited) This was taken (not by me) at last year’s May Day event in Hastings. I was supposed to buy this one but never got round to it so you’ll have to try and see past the watermark…. Your pic looks like it should be in a magazine Edited April 11, 2023 by Troy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickly Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Got snapped a few times on the start line at a RWYB at the old Stratford Raceway drag strip, didn’t buy them as they showed I popped a cherry. Again on entrance to BSB at Donnington Park, bought a hard printed copy - it was that long ago 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did it cost you extra to have the massive BMW badge photoshopped out of the picture? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shepherd Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Got snapped at the Burnham Bends with my daughter pillion. Had the picture printed on a 5'x3' canvas and stuck it on the bike shed wall. One of my first rides out with a pillion, and I still smile whenever I open the door to put the bike away. I consider myself lucky that my daughter still wants to spend time with an old git like me 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_M Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 (edited) I have several photos of me on the bike. A number from track days at Cadwell Park, a couple from my run up Prescott Hill with pillion, a set from off the Col de Tourmelet and another set from the Col de la Bonette last year. Oh, and one from when I went to Andorra. EG Edited April 11, 2023 by Steve_M Fail to load image 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian_1986 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Been snapped a few times, i actually head to where they are sometimes to get a pic as it also gives me a destination to head to. I sometimes head to Hawes as the B6255 is a great road and they are usually on there. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 How do you know someone has taken a photo? They can't trace you via your reg plate for the purpose of flogging you a photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't trace you via your reg plate for the purpose of flogging you a photo. In a couple of ways. On the Tourmelet and the Bonette there was a big sign displaying their website next to him and at the col. At Prescott there was a colleague with a laptop ready to show your image when you got back to the paddock. Trackdays usually let you know if there will be a photographer there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a lot of signs in the area advertising that they are there and their website address on it all too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Frog Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 @Stu is right. The guy at Burnham bends who got us on Saturday displays a Rutland TT sign quite clearly beside his car so an easy google search by date. Cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably same here. I work weekends so we play out on Thursdays or Fridays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
