London Motorbike Show

Went along to the London Motorbike Show on Saturday. Much as I expected - lots of new bikes to sit on and imagine owning (the Ducati 1098 ... mmmm), lots of things to tempt me from parting with cash (I resited - all I bought was a coffee and a car sticker), and a show of some description that is impossible to get into unless you're willing to stand in a queue for ages.

Still, a good time was had, and it gave me a chance to get a ride on my new bike - its only got another 120 miles to go and I'll be able to ride it properly :-)

I got a fair number of pictures from the event and a lot of them turned out very well - I am more and more pleased with the ability of the Sigma lens in low light conditions.

Here are some of my favourite shots from the show: Rossi's bike (the one he didn't quite win the championship on), a Ducati Desmosedici RR (the headlight grabbed my attention - it really looks like an eye staring back at you) and a custom bike (which would set you back £32500 if you wanted it).
