I'd help you -- but I had a hard time reading the numbers.

I suppose that reporting that this one is (I think) a Ducati isn't what you wanted to know, is it? :roll:

Rex Svaboda just id'd the red Ducati. I always try to caption every bike in the book with their name, hometown and class at least. I am down to the wire now and not being able to read the numbers is a real problem.
I appreciate all the help.

Scooter ... guess the entry numbers got lost somehow ... The BMW is a new 1000 ... I doubt there were more than 4 - 6 entered.

The BMW is a completely stock S1000rr.   Looks to be a 2011 model.

I feel your pain Scooter!

memo from photographers --- if you want good pictures of your toys, put large high contrast numbers on them someplace the photographer can see in the pictures.

This is very common with the bikes, (and some of the lakesters and modified roadsters) even with a telephoto and blowing the image up there is no number or identifying mark visible, that means the image gets put in the "if I have the time folder".
