I think this wraps up my shots from the 2016 Spit-N-Shine Show...
Thanks to TJ, everyone from The Shop, the volunteers and vendors for putting on another awesome edition of this annual bike gathering. Thanks as well to everyone that stuck around over the last week of bike uploads... and for your favourites and comments! Waterfront Road, downtown Vancouver. July 9, 2016.
ME: "Why are you whispering Bernie and what the heck are you doing in there?"
BERNIE: "I got stuck" .. "and......I don't want Dad to hear me cuz he said I was not supposed to play with his helmet"
ME: "oh..... I see...
Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday
iâm standing on a side street in palma, where the cafés have already stacked their chairs and the last conversations are thinning into the winterly mallorcan night. he pauses just long enough for the city to slip away, fingers working the strap under his helmet with the calm rhythm of someone who has done this a thousand times. the scooter idles at the edge of the frame, a small promise of escape, while the light from a single streetlamp brushes across his face and the worn leather of his jacket. in that tilted glance upward, he looks less like a man fastening a buckle and more like a pilot waiting for clearance, suspended between the quiet of the street and the rush of the ride that´s about to begin.
The man behind @motorcyclesonly... as always, at The Shop, Columbia Street, Chinatown, Vancouver. August 25, 2019.
I wanna be a superhero that rides a fast kick ass motorcycle and hides his identity behind a darkened helmet visor. And I want to blow up the bad guy at the end by pushing the button on a remote controlled detonator. Then I want to ride away into the sunset.
Please view in large size so you don't get bored.

A coffee shop like no other, Pop’s is all about motorcycles. It’s attached, by an interior passage, to a Triumph Motorcycle dealer, too. Here’s the front with son and grandson having their iPhone moments.
This is a frame capture from HD video using the Canon EOS Rebel T6 camera, with the Canon 18-55mm zoom lens.
This isn't exactly the same shot I used in the final video, but it works better here as a still frame than the one I used in the video.
The bikers, who led off the march, arrived near the front of City Hall (in a conveniently shaded area) and pumped their fists to a cheering multitude.
But to see the other shot of the biker women and the cheering crowd, you can click on the link below to my YouTube channel and see the video I shot and edited of this event:
The Keith Sayers Freestyle Motorcross Team put on quite a show at the Nashville Superspeedway during the NASCAR weekend back in June. This guy was doing a burnout while sitting completely stationary and looking right at me. The rear tire during the burnout was relatively slow compared to most I've seen but the balance with the front tire totally locked down was the most impressive part...if you get the chnace check these guys out, they are amazing!! #KSFMX

Several weeks ago The Boss and I were out for an early morning stroll through downtown Grimsby, Ontario and as we passed by a local motorcycle-related gear store (Simply Moto), I noticed myself in the reflection of a motorcycle helmet visor. The heavily coloured yellow-metallic-look coating of the visor contrasted nicely with the blue of the helmet and shop décor as augmented by the deep blue of the shadows. In looking at the image now several weeks after taking it, I was struck by how much duller the colours were than my memory’s image. I can fix that. So on the colour and contrast controls I simply cranked their adjustment scale of 1 to 10 up to 12. Take that reality! - JW
