All I want to know is how the f k do you get the bike so f n clean !!!!!

Any chance of running a few classes and passing on a few trade secrets? I reckon between you, Lee, Pike and Stue you'd make a fortune

Took one of mine at Richmond, that's my Dads next to it, and it doesn't look anywhere near as "clean" as Robs. Mind you, I did ride mine along the Amazon river on Sunday!?!?! At least it felt like I did

When you have been banned to the garage as many times as I have polishing just comes second nature, ... That and the fact I only ride in rain if I'm caught out in it helps a bit too...

Hardest month yet to pick one I reckon - the number and standards are getting better every month. Not a poor photo amongst them, but they all have some little thing or other stopping them being perfect. ( I always choose on the photo, rather than whether I like the bike, IYSWIM)

So, the way I see it is this (just thinking out loud) the one thing that detracts from them is:
Trebor - The fence in the backround
BanditMike - Not quite enough bike in the shot
Sweban - Don't think the angle of the bike works
Goferit - Weeds or whatever behind the bike
ptolemyx - Bit of a bare background for summer
Dick65 - Gloves and lid spoil it a bit
fr499y - Most 'summery' but *looks* like a bit too much post-processing [1]
finger - 3 feet to the right so just the hedge in the background would have been ace
haveugot1 - That shiny bit of chrome!

Please don't get the hump fellas, this is just my two penneth worth and just the way I look at it - I'm not a pro or an art afficiando (mainly because I think that Tracey Emin's stuff is a pile of . Anyway, this is the chat thread, so owt that sparks a bit of debate is good, yeah?

What I would like to round off with is a big 'thank you' to everyone that entered in June - it's clear that you all made a big effort and everyone this month should feel that they have a great chance of winning.

[1] Apologies if that's straight out of the camera dude.



Will take some pondering this.

Heh, cheers chaps, I know from doing the Round Britain Rally for a few years just how hard it is to get that really spot on shot - out of 50 - 70 landmarks a year I managed 2 or 3 pics that I though were really good, because there was always something amiss (usually rain on the lense for every one in Scotland!)

[stantheman 0]

well guys im going to be posting a pic later when someone with brains comes in ive taken all on board about photography and backgrounds and i think its a contender

Thanks for the comments Macie. I'm personally a very keen landscape photographer and have some truly stunning shots in my portfolio including some very summery pictures. I just couldn't get that summery feeling at any time this June when out on the bike. I'll try for some thing "torrential" for July though

Old and Disgraceful

well its on but needs re sizing
