I thought this would be a good potential way to attack, but not necessarily kill two birds with one stone. I recently purchased some ACF-50 (Anti Corrosion Formula 50) to treat and protect my new bike for the rest of the winter, from the rest of the winter, and after much reading ACF-50 seems to be the product to do that!
Here is how I have described it on my YouTube Video…
I picked myself up a rear rack for the bike this week, basically so I can stick a top box on it, in turn enabling me to throw a helmet or two in there if and when I park up, or pack stuff to take with me, such as a picnic!
The first thing I realised was it isn’t as easy as just getting a box, a rear frame needed purchased. Now to make things even more complicated, the type of frame you buy determines the type of box you can use, and who makes it. So if you want a GIVI then you need a frame that takes a givi box. Although GIVI make two different boxes, ‘Monolock’ and ‘Monokey.’ One Givi frame will take either, one is specific. See how it starts to get complicated!
I know I have been promising these for quite some time, and if you have been contacting me in relation to when they were going up please accept my apologies for the delay.
It just took a little longer than I was expecting to get the time to trim them down and make sure the best photos made it. I had well over 700 to sort through, and I hope I have brought you the best of them!
The only gripe I have, which to be honest about I am reasonably devastated over is that there was a horribly placed fence just in front of me that played havoc with getting the wheels of the bikes in the shots. Unfortunately I couldn’t get any higher to try and cut over it, and I didn’t want to move, as my position at this chicane was far too good to let go.
The other thing I thought was that the decals and livery of the bikes were just too nice for me to not put up the photos due to the fact that the fence interfered with the wheels a little. So I am aware that the fence is not ideal in the photos, but I also felt you should get a good look at the bikes regardless.
Also this was my first attempt at motion photography, and I have to say I really enjoyed trying a few different techniques. I still am learning and motorsport photography is definitely something I will be working at in the future, so expect some more.
