brilliant photos... kieran`s website is genius... black and white snaps put an oldie worldie slant on it for me... my favourites are tony stood on the weighbridge... ;D ;D john woods on a stealth black looking stop on sight (normally vivid blue) and picture 27.. a pack of racers.. if you look at rider 606 (cut down RB 250 cc lammy) thats Stevie Wright.. he had a horrific car smash at the end of 2009. he broke his back and now has a metal pinned up spine.....  (ooouch) has that stopped him getting back on his race lammy 6 months later.. NOPE... he couldnt quite catch the green hornet though in either race. ;D i took great pleasure in remindining him of that too ;D ;D ;D hes a good mate but obviously not a full shilling........  back to kieran, he told me an absolutely top story about his mum and dad , they first met each other, because of a vespa accident... all good stuff.. |

Some cracking shots on there. My personal favourite is Tony and Charlie at the back of the van, only a couple of inches in it. ;D

couple of inches in it.... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D to be fair Charlie is a big old lad, i must be nearly 6 ft and he towered above me... what a very modest guy though... with half his knowledge many would be arrogant, but he was absolutely spot on, answerd all my div kid questions in the most NON PATRONIZING way possible... he won me over straight away, then started his scooter up and completely blew me away... anyone that knocks the fella is either jealous, a knobber or BOTH |

;D Nice words coll. Its nice that someone has seen what this fella is like instead of all that crap I've read on other forums.
Boss, I dont think thats me beside cahrlie in the van is it?
I like the weigh bridge shot.. i also like the feel of the team interaction,, me n charlie talking before the race , charlie working on woodies bike, that kinda stuff...
Everybody is beginning to like having kieron about.. he's becoming a fixture now!

Classy  black and white always gives a image a certain amount of soul that colour lacks. Scooter racing filmed by Ken Loach ;D |

Liked the pic of Charlie and Tony at the back of the van too, made me chuckle  Very nice shots without being too arty farty, captures the comaraderie of the paddock well and the race shots are very good too, especially the last shot of Charlie at speed. |
