I love the look on his face in the first pic that says "I AM the fucking bollocks, and you want to be me!"

Laughing I would feel sorry for him if he didn't look like such a twat.

Suddenly the leather waistcoat and T-shirt aren't such a great idea.
I wouldn't like to see the state of his elbows.

Sorry, I just had to have another look.

In the second picture, it's obscured by his arm but you can just about make out the contorted look of horror on his face as he loses the front wheel.

One more look now I think....

Looks like he's the man, then the bike eats him.

I shdnt smile really as harley riders hurt just like real ppl when they come off.

I suspect if he hadnt been too busy posing for the first shot, he wdnt have gone so fast into the corner.

They are very similar to real people but not quite so deserving of sympathy.

the front wheel is no longer on the ground, its sliding on the right pegs or foor boards or whatever

the front wheel has stopped cos he is using the front brake but its not helping him any cos the front wheel has left the ground

IMO a great camera is taking the pic as if the rider was to lock up for as much as a milli second think that he would end up in mess, plus the fact that there is no tyre smoke coming from the tyre. think that the tyre is in contact the whole time

Then why couldn't the "great camera" make the rear wheel appear to have stopped at the same time?

Is it a "1 wheel at a time" great camera?

Heavens sake people, it is resting on the exhausts/footboards etc. this lifts the front wheel off the floor, so if he is trailing the brakes going into the corner (as he is likey to be doing as he has gone in too hot) then the front would lock as soon as it left the ground, being off the tarmac means no smoke either.

white noise, you are outnumbered
even ppl on the forum the pic is posted on, reckon the front is off the ground and not turning due to front brake

There's a difference between the front wheel not turning and not turning as fast as the rear.

Making wheels appear still is fairly easy to do on most camera's though is usually something you avoid as it looks shit in photos where you want the bike to look like it's moving.

Lets face it, Harley riders are all about posing their arses off and because of that, they consider themselves to better than any other biker. Personally I think they are a load of sad,born again old B**TARDS that would`nt` know a good bike if they were given one... And don`t` even know how to ride one, this is my opinion
