There are always exceptions to the rules, even in Canada  :-D especially for great pictures, although preferably of the artistic kind...
Yeah, I know salt LSR venues are few and far between. I considered an all encompassing "artistic photo" thread but went the course I took. I'd happily take artistic pics from the Pendine sands in Wales too :-D

OK then, Pendine sands August 2008 looking east from in front of the hotel.



Yes Wayno, correct, that's the place.

And, looking back toward the "start" line........no racing today...

This video shows Pendine Sands about 1955-56, when sand stuck the carb open and they almost ran out of shutdown room.

Fascinating video. Thanks for that.

Dr. Goggles, thanks for obliing with the gratuitous Pendine Sands pics. Despite growing up in the UK, I've never been. It just shows that wherever you live there are always fascinating things to do and see. Cheers. Jim

The pictures should be somewhat artistic (in the beholder's eye) and in good taste...


This pic is artistic simply because it's in black and white.
Anything in black and white IS artictic...ha ha.

AND it's in good taste








..AND I've got a great arse.......................he he

Well I see this tasteful thread went down the toilet... :roll:

Glad to see you on a running bike Octane. Congrats on the two records this year at Bonneville! Was the above at Speed Week 2011 or BUB 2011?
