Ok I know I'm being good to you bike race followers, and apologies to the rest of you. I have some interesting night time shots of London, a day at Kew Gardens (today in fact) and tomorrow it's a bird of prey centre - so there's plenty normal stuff to come.

This was taken at Oulton Park with the Ellison shot, here from a little further up the track at Clay Hill. Shane 'Shakey' Byrne onboard the Suzuki GSXR1000 K5 machine, sponsored by the unmissable Rizla, the cigarette paper people.

Thanks as ever to Jay and Tasha at Londonbikers.com for the press arrangements for access to these events, a pass to get close enough for a mere 200mm lens, and the motivation to get my ass out there. Forever in your debt guys.

Not sure I'd want the front wheel off the deck heading up that section. Very dramatic capture - I think this one would be perfect for some of your magic colour editing. Go on, you know you want to...

Ahhhh blimey I've enough trouble leaving these things alone as it is.......

Yeah I shot the BSB season for the Londonbikers website - they organised press status for most of the races. We got passes for the UK World Supers and MotoGP rounds too but the boss man took them :( hehe.

I'm hoping to get a season pass this year and repeat the coverage. A bit of a dream come true you could say ;)

Fantastic photo... wheel off the deck and flying along... I'm liking the marks on Shakey's fairing, he's obviously been pretty low somewhere!

It was just a 'gentle reminder'... :P
