That time of year again. FALL MOTOGIRO!

This years Giro was not without incident but the weather was perfect and Vermont was in its full beauty. My little CL90 ran perfectly and team Ministry of Transportation was a total mess.

Giro rider and friend Dave Roper has a unique ritual of cutting his hair and beard only on the equinox. That means one of his twice yearly cuts came right in the middle of Saturdays ride, so Dave pulled over for a quick shave.

Cycle Canada story about the Indian at the Isle of Man

 The second article about the Indian at the IOM has been published. This one written by John Cooper and appeared in Cycle Canada. Really liked the layout and the opening spread.

Motorcycle Classics Isle of Man Story

Motorcycle Classics was first to print a story from this summer's trip to the Isle of Man. Dave Roper wrote this one.

My last day on the Isle of Man

It has been an amazing trip. Saw a lot of racing, saw a lot of this beautiful island. The Indian never made the lap due to a whole list of issues that despite very hard work by many people didn't get resolved in time. Read Dave Roper's blog  for details. Here are some images as I sit through a delay at the IOM airport. More to come.................

Isle of Man TT

I am headed to the Isle of Man for part of TT week this year. I am going primarily to photograph Dave Roper leading the Parade lap this year riding the 1911 Indian you see below owned by Peter Gagan.......

 ...but am excited to be there to experience a handful of the races. Here is a
video to give you a taste of what it looks like there.

This is a Photo I took of Dave and his Moto Guzzi Airone 250

On a related motorcycle note. The shirts James helped me with are headed to the screen printing shop to be done next week. Here is a small preview.


I will post them up for sale as soon as they are done.
