Restored Classic Ducati Scrambler
This beautifully restored 250cc classic Ducati Scrambler was photographed recently for the April Issue of Retrobike Magazine. The current owner bought the bike over the internet from Northern Italy and had it shipped all the way to the other side of the world here in Australia. A great looking restored retro bike that would be a whole lot of fun on the streets.
Husqvana Nuda 900R Cafe Racer - Magazine Photo Shoot
JOSH’S CUSTOM HUSQVANA NUDA 900R CAFE RACER
Back on a warm January afternoon in 2019 i had the pleasure of shooting Josh’s custom Husqvarna Nuda 900R Cafe Racer for the April issue of Retrobike Magazine.
After a small accident and a generous insurance payout Josh decided to do something different with his already very rare Nuda. He decided to convert it into a modern Cafe Racer with a custom kit made specifically for the bike by a German parts specialist called LSL. The bikes suspension and tuning was also been enhanced by the experts at Race Center. Theres a lot more to the story of this bike which can be found in its magazine feature but for now enjoy the photos.
These images were featured in the April 2019 Issue of Retro Bike Magazine.

Once again thanks to Adrian and the crew at MotoHeaven for their hospitality it was such a great way to experience the GP with a great bunch of people. Im already counting down the days till the next one.

Norton Sidecar Photoshoot
1962 NORTON ATLAS SIDECAR PHOTOSHOOT
This hand built 1962 750cc Norton Atlas Side Car is built, owned and raced by Tim from Classic Wheels & Spokes, Otway Hydroblasting & Metal Works. Tim is an amazing craftsman and his workshop is full of customers custom side car and race bike projects.
This husband and wife team race regularly in the Australian classic sidecar championship and theres no doubt this bike is the best looking in the field.
Tim contacted me earlier this year about a shoot of this particular machine however we had to wait a few months to arrange a time as the bike had several races interstate. On this particular shoot we spent a few hours outside at one of my favourite locations soaking up the golden hour lighting for some more natural light photography. When the sun ducked down over the horizon we then headed back to the studio for the indoor shots.
Keep an eye out for this sidecar as it will be racing the Shannons Southern Classic on the 3rd and 4th November 2018 at Broadford and the Australian Historic Road Racing Championship on the 9th-11th again at Broadford.

Vintage Indian Racebike
VINTAGE INDIAN RACE BIKE- PHOTOSHOOT
Shot this amazing Indian Race Bike recently for a client and what an absolutely stunning machine it is.
The bikes owner Tim contacted me about a shoot for two for his bikes. This is just one of his many bikes and is going to received a bit of a restoration later this year as it wears the scars of race track battles. I love the well used look of this bike and absolutely thrilled with how the images from this photoshoot turned out. We started this photoshoot in the late afternoon using a mix of the beautiful golden hour sun and off camera flash to create some punchy images. Once the sun set we retreated to a local workshop to create the dramatic red smoke shot.
What blows my mind about this bike and rider is that it laps Broadford circuit faster than a lot of modern Sportsbike riders would. Not only is the throttle on the left hand side of the handlebar but the bike runs a Girder fork front en, this thing must be one hell of a hairy ride. Hats off to the legends that race these things at the speed they do. This particular bike is owned and race by Tim from Classic Wheels & Spokes, Otway Hydroblasting & Metal Works
They specialise in building classic Sidecars and work on all kinds of classic bikes.
Tim and Michelle also brought along their Norton Sidecar which i shot, keep your eyes on my blog as ill be dropping those photos in the next few days.

Custom Yamaha TRX Photoshoot
Does it get anymore customized than this? I don't think there is one part of this 1996 Yamaha TRX 850 that has not been modified. It starts with extensive engine work - high comp pistons + flatside carbs and head work - Triumph 675R Ohlins front end and brakes - CBR1000RR rims -Race Centre modified R6 Ohlins rear shock - Custom hand made exhaust - custom subframe - chopped and modified tank - Harley headlight - Ducati Master cylinder. The list goes on and on and is absolutely incredible.
I had the chance to shoot this amazing bike for Johnny Taylor. Jonny is an accomplished road racer who built the bike himself over 4 years. Everything on the bike had a purpose to make it go harder, handle and stop better (plus it also looks sexy). This bike will be featured in an upcoming issue of RetroBike magazine in October, i'm pretty excited to see my photos in print.
In the mean time you can read more about Johnnys bike over at Return of the Cafe Racer in their writeup on his bike HERE

Kawasaki ZX10 Photoshoot
Darren from Race Centre has worked on my bikes for a few years now their suspension work is 2nd to none so when he approached me to take some photos for one of his customers as a surprise i jumped all over it. What we see below is a street modified 2006 Kawasaki ZX10R. This shoot was done entirely on location at Race Centre and although there is not much room to work with in the workshop as there is a lot of background clutter, we managed to pull off some shots that worked well.
Stay tuned as I will be shooting a lot more at Race Centre in the coming months as they are Melbourne's Top Performance/ Race Bike workshops.
Check out their website below as i highly recommend their services.
