LOL yah... like I said, I didn't take many pictures of her so unfortunately this is the best one...

I've got a few more on the way, but wanted to get these for anyone not able to head to the show. Scott might have pictures of the other Duc "model" but I thought she was a bit of a butter face so I didn't get many shots lol

I'd feel the same way! You should have seen Ben & Carrie when I walked over and sat on it with my jacket and keys hanging on.... (kidding! lol) Bike was a beauty for sure.

Sorry man but STT isn't running anything within the area I'm willing to travel to :-\ Rusty 848, I'll circle back with you as we get a little closer to those dates. PM me with your email and I'll send a note.

I'm uploaded a larger picture, but here's the Roll-On bike.

Got a chance to see it today, looks pretty sharp, the paint is very stunning for sure.

Lol, hit the show, already home. Killing time for Buddy's! YAY Was nice meeting Ben and Carrie, sucks I didn't catch any of you there but shit, that place is nuts. Pictures will be up shortly.

I'm leaving for the show soon-ish... wife isn't going, she was already bitching about how long we were going for so I just said don't worry about it.

It seems 1 produced bike lol

I'm not looking to get into the photography business lol, I'm offering help to ORDN riders that want it... photography, much like all art forms is about doing something you love, if you're getting into it for the money you need some lessons in business.

Man, articles like this make me miss Bambi http://blog.okcupid.com/index.php/2010/01/20/the-4-big-myths-of-profile-pictures/

And to Brian, didn't mean to turn this into a thread against you, you just so happen to be the first track organizer that posted.

That's a good point too, no college degree, little experience, 36k is really good way to cut your teeth... plus in a year or two you'll have the experience to get a better paying job... But what sucks, I've yet to see a job I would consider applying for that doesn't say "MBA preferred"... *sigh* ... my wife has her masters in statistics, I should have stayed in school and got my masters

Not cool dude, you're putting people out of work... like this guy, exclusive official photographer ... 1024x768 image = $7.50

Didn't mean to come off as a direct dig on you... I agree it's a good in for someone in college or about to graduate.

Anything you're not charging for I think...

We should plan a day to go, we'll team up, all of us with cameras. I'm half tempted to get a really big zoom lens and take pictures from outside a track and give them away for free to riders lol. Can't eject someone from outside the premises Just look for me:

That's the theory behind monopolies bud, "Person X can charge whatever he wants because he's the only one allowed to sell them"... there's a reason monopolistic quality goes down... you don't have any competition It doesn't matter if you're doing it for a living or doing it as a hobby. I'm happy to trade photos for lunch for friends, and I have... if that means some shmuck with $30,000 worth of equipment goes hungry that's his problem, not mine. There's an elasticity of demand with something like pictures (and everything else), as the price increases the more likely a consumer is to simply "go without". In the eyes of a rider, $200 for a track day fulfills one need, photography of the event fulfills another need. Plenty of folks I've talked to said, "I paid $150 for a track day, I'm not paying some moron $150 for a cd of 15 shitty images, I don't give a shit" ... Or they'll do what JRM did and just use the watermarked low-res image. Hence why I posted this here and not on Craigslist, I'm looking to help friends out. Like I said before, a halfway decent photographer can get the same images from a casual ride with friends and a staged photo spot... exactly what we did on the Ashtabula ride.

I'm going to have to disagree there, 36k for entry-level is pretty crappy. I was a DBA / ETL Apps Developer at Goodyear starting salary was significantly more than that.... and it was truly a no experience, training provided, job. But 36k is better than 0 lol

I wasn't aware there was an age limit on racing.

My brother's friend's cousin's son's GSXR does 230mph and it's stock... the dude told me!

awesome If you're 16

EXXXXACTLY.... first rule of business folks, your product is only worth as much as people are willing to pay.

Hell yah, it's a lot of fun comparing shots and especially being able to go back later and look at the same shot you took at one settings someone else took at another setting and see the difference subtle changes make! Also, I'll take any excuse to hang out and shoot the shit.
