    Just thought I'd throw up a few photos that I have taken in the last year from the Roads and the Short Circuits. More for my own benefit than anything else so that I can look back in another years time and see if there's any improvement. Have the right glass this year, or as far as my card can stretch anyway so we'll see where that takes me, just means that if I get a shot that I don't like its me and not the kit lol

    Enjoy


    Ally Seeley gets to grips with the JMF Millsport Yamaha R6 at the Bishopscourt test day at the start of the year. It turned out to be a short relationship as Seeley and JMF went thier opposite ways after the first round of the British Superstock championship and Seeley made a move to TAS. I'm sure it was a slight sickener as Seeley went on to win the BSS title.





    Andrew Neill coming out of York Hairpin at the NorthWest 200 and taking the jumps at the Cookstown 100. Andrew drew my attention when he beat Michael Dunlop in the 250 race at his local Bush Road Races in Dungannon, slippy conditions worked in his favour as he was a country mile ahead of Michael who isn't the slowest man on a 250. Unfortunatley he was killed a few weeks later in an accident at Walderstown. RIP #76.







    Bruce Anstey takes the chicane at the bottom of Juniper Hill at the NW200 qualifying, the low evening sun makes things a little more interesting at this sort of pace I'm sure but it certainly didn't slow him down an awful lot.





    Colin Thompson hugging the apex. Colin asked me for a copy of a shot I took of him earlier in the year. Got a chat with him while giving him the photo down at Bishopscourt, later discovered that he lives less than half a mile away from me. Small world eh?





    The fastest road racer in the world, Connor Cummins. Connor certainly impressed at the Ulster Grand Prix this year when he set a new lap record of 133mph around the Dundrod circuit. Also known as the 'two-metre man' Connor fairly threw the ZX10r around the place with brute force.







    Davy Haire eyes up Debtors Dip from the grid. He had himsef a Honda Fireblade for this ISB season and didn't fail to impress either holding off some of the big-guns. Ended up winning the Ulster Championship this year, certainly a hot prospect for the future.
