EXUP Worldwide

As I write this, I am still recovering from an awesome weekend at "the Island"...

I'd like to try to share the atmosphere with some pictures...
I will skip the reporting of the actual race, because you can find that on plenty of moto journalism websites, better than I can write it.

It'll take me a while to upload the best of them, let me know if you have any specific requests for big versions, or other pics. Especially for non-Yamaha pics that I have plenty of, but won't post here much.

The Grid


Nearly ready to go


Not just about the racing


A collection of Yamaha models you'd like to have in your garage

efforts in fifty years


Phillip Island is notoriously hard on the left side of tyres (Corser's BMW)

great pics Hotcam, you got right up close and personal, a lot closer than Spook and I did

I did get close and pesonal with the track though, took my pushbike for a lap, great fun, with the crowd yell abuse from the fence i felt like Max Biaggi

The PI racing was some of the best I've seen in years - Nori's still da man, but look out for Spies.

Great seeing some new marques out there, and it's going to be interesting watching their progress over the year.

Now - if only MotoGP was this interesting...
