Well done on the front cover Del....
Can I ask how long has it taken to make a front cover, or have you done it before??

The bike is well used.

[SupeRDel]

The actual shoot and article was done in the spring. So this one has been a long time coming. Mags plan the front covers a few months in advance so articles with cover shots can be delayed even longer.

I do cover classic "news" type events for the mag. They will go in within a month. Any longer and its well out of date.

I've had a smaller picture on the cover but never a full cover before.
I quite often make the index page. Generally its the unusual shots that work there...

Like this one...

Took this at the Ace Cafe in early February last year and I thought it worked well.
Girl was actually doing a shoot for some ameter photographers and managed to get in the background.. ;)


Got a little list of articles that I am working on at the moment.

Jack owns the Harley and it is his daily transport no matter wot the weather. Its a 1975 HD 1200 electra glide and is just about original. He rides it "steadily" - don't clean it. Paint work is original as well. He says that he don't want to restore it as it will loose its charm and character.

After riding it I knew wot he means..

There is truth in what he says; you just do not have the time when your bike is your daily hack.

Tru enough FJ, you have a choice between riding & restoring and an older honest well used bike is a joy to see. :)
