Why are most amateur motorcycle photos so boring (to others)?


Let's face it, most of the motorcycle pictures friends show you contain either different views of the bike or static pictures of the bike and its owner in front of some setting. Mine are and will be of that variety. The reason is simple. When you are riding, it is very difficult to take a picture. Also, who wants to stop a nice ride, get off the bike, compose a picture of your fellow riders, and then have them ride back and forth until you get it right? I will try that sometime but it is not at the top of my list. This shot was taken on my first overnight trip, in June 2006. It was a 600 miler to Rangeley, ME - then a loop up into southern Quebec and back home. Bob Sahlman was my riding partner. Bob's a business broker from Warren, VT who rides a sweet Ducati ST2. The shot was taken at an overlook on Route 27 in northern Maine near the Canadian border.
