Motorcycle photography

As I wrote in the other thread I was surprised to see two different posts on bikes and motorbikes which happen to be a passion of mine as well!

I love these shots @Morgan_Hardwood, so far I’ve only been able to get some static shots around my house with my motorbike – every time I go out for longer rides I am so constrained with time etc that I take my phone with me and little else. But you gave me inspiration to bring a proper camera next time (the Fuji XT2 with 18 or 35mm is pretty light and that would be the ideal choice; however I do love longer lenses… but you showed me an interesting use of wideangle lenses).

l’ll take the opportunity to post here a few shots of my Guzzi , which is a different and much more sporty bike than the stock V7. I was playing with the idea of having an unassuming bike that goes like hell on the twisties – here in Italy we have a passion for big, sporty, powerful bikes but the average speed on a ‘proper’ mountain road rarely exceeds 50-60 kmh; this V7 doesn’t have the grunt of a Ducati twin for example but it is very fast and light, and carries tremendous speeds round the corners.

One is a straight shot after some little cosmetic mods, the other two are earlier attempts to use flash to create a different look:
