NZ Pro Motocross

Spent the day in Taupo, doing the usual stuff, viewing the mountains, Huka falls, moon craters, numerous cows etc. Then we had some real fun. We are staying with a friend who is a pro motocross rider in NZ, he was good enough to let me ride one of his race bikes, (I fell over in the sawdust and broke the thing, but that's another story...). Pete was good enough to give me an hour to do a photo shoot with my new Canon 135mmF2 prime and boy oh boy is it a superb lens for action sports!

These were a few of many taken, some heavily cropped, several of which will most probably end up in a moto-X magazine sometime soon.

As for dust yesterday, I was plastered with the stuff, head to toe. But it was all great fun.

These bikes are amazing, I'm not a dirt bike rider and prefer large road bikes, but these things rev like crazy. I didn't want to touch the 450R and instead rode the "serene" 250R Honda:) which I dropped and damaged. Never mind, the bikes were supplied by Honda and come with plenty of spares!
