Live To Ride ...

Live To Ride ...
The theme this week for The Sunday Challenge was shoot a stranger.

More often than not I like to take a new photo for the challenge, but this week I decided to look through my archives and find some previously 'unpublished' shots that might suit the topic.

This one was taken at Northallerton Rugby Club when the Harley-Davidson Riders Club of Great Britain used it to stage their North East Rally back in 2013.

Unlike the vast majority of car/bike shows that I attend this one wasn't open to the public - it was more an event for members with entertainment laid on over the weekend. However, I had a word with the guys on the gate to see if they thought people would mind if I went in to take some photos and they kindly agreed to let me do so.

The man in this shot was one of the first people I met and, like everyone else there, he made me feel welcome and not at all ill at ease. No real surprise though to me as I mixed with a great many real biker types during my young adult life. In fact, my best man when we got married was an ex-biker.

Anyway, back to the shot in question. I was quite happy with it in colour, but decided the subject matter might lend itself to the mono treatment, which is the route I ended up taking.

Hope you guys like it?

Great bike, friendly biker but I've noticed the tent in the background - was is it for him or his bike? For both it seems too small! ;-DD

Nice selection for TSC!

Just for him I think ... though I did know someone once who had a tent to put his hot rod into when attending shows! ;)
