After getting a taste for the motos in New Zealand earlier this year I thought I needed to give it another go.My reasoning was that they are just like mountain bikes but faster. While this is true there is definitely a few other differences as well such as dustier, louder and longer circuits. Although not huge differences they are things to be aware of. Thankfully my cameras are fairly well dust sealed but the front element of the lens needs to be cleaned constantly.
The track for the day was 20kms. Normally shooting with Gil we cover 10km tracks each of us heading out in a different direction and although we don’t get around all of the track we usually cover a fair bit of it. On Sunday I had the attention of David from Oyster Bay MCC who took me out in a four wheel drive who showed me around and took me to the best spots. If you like this type of racing be sure and check these guys out, great friendly club with a busy calendar full of races.
Below is a selection of my favourite shots from the day. The full gallery can be found over on the Outer Image website here where they are available for purchase. I think we shall definitely be looking into covering a few more events like this next year.
On the way home I found myself a new lookout at Mt. Cook that definitely deserves a revisit and at the right time of day will certainly offer up some great shots.
