Was travelling this day so all the pics are from the wife. Isn't she kind?
Great shots Brice. What camera are you using? Not interested in a new ens are you:clap:
Everyone loves hot girls and motorcycles:thumbup:
Wife's camera and pics. The setup was Canon EOS 300 + Sigma 18-200 DC.
We use the Sigma for our Sichuan trip last year and because we were often in movement few pics are a little blur so Wife bought a Canon 70-300 IS USM in Hong Kong at Xmas. Image Stabilizer is really a good feature when you can't use a tripod or need to shot moving target.
Now she wants a Canon 18-xxx IS lens to replace the Sigma lens and to stick with just one set of filters. So we have also a Sigma to sell...
Sigma now has a 18-200 OS. OS is sigma's IS
Yes we were looking also at Sigma at the time because the price are competitive but we've got a good deal in HK and the reviews were favorable to the Canon.
I think she want something like a 18-70 or 18-120 (i'm not a specialist) to have better rendering on short/medium range pics instead of pushing the zoom at its limits.
Photos gear are limitless, budget is higher than bike...
Those are some great pics indeed. I didn't know they had an SBK track that was so active. I was doubly interested in seeing Miss WuXia, the ladies here are something else. Wouldn't be surprised if she was a good racer too. Did you get a sense of how she was skill wise?

Glad you ask about Wuxia. Yes she is one of the best bike racer in China but sadly she crashed hard last week during a race in Japan. She will need 2 or 3 months recovery.
here some link about this accident: http://www.asianmoto.com/news/story3330.asp?num=3330
Hope she'll be fine.

PS her website in Chinese/English http://ngha.blog.sohu.com/
Dude! Spinal injury! SUCKS! I'm bummed to hear that. The country needs people like her making news some news in the industry. I'll be wishing her well and following her more closely.

Quote:
From: Asiamoto.com
Wu Xia, one of China’s greatest motorcycle racing ambassadors, has been seriously injured whilst guest riding in a 600cc Superbike race at Japan's Twin Ring Motegi circuit.
The very popular, and deservedly so, young lady racer came into contact with another rider causing her to have a horrific crash.
Despite the top-class medical facilities at the circuit she was immediately transferred to a local hospital for treatment and an operation on her damaged spine.
One day after the operation, Wu Xia has regained consciousness and can recognize people around her.
The Doctors have said that she has fractures to the fourth section of her cervical vertebrae and sections 6, 7 and 8 of her lumbar vertebrae.
Wu Xia is now recovering and receiving physical therapy treatment at a specialist hospital for bone and sports injuries.
Currently she has no feeling below her waist, in her hands or fingers, but she is able to carry out simple communications with people.
The Doctors have advised Wu Xia’s Team Manager that if her recovery is smooth after 2-3 months of treatment in Japan she will be able to return to China for further recuperation.
They are hopeful for a full recovery saying that they have previously treated Japanese riders with similar injuries who sustained no long term effects and were able to return to the race track after a period of treatment.
We all are hoping and praying that Wu Xia will be similarly fortunate and will once again be able to bring her charm and skill to the racetrack.
Good fortune Wu Xia – we are all thinking about you.
Brice
I can't get WuXia's site to load fully and I don't see an English option.
She has another website: http://wuxia2222.blog.163.com/
Some articles are in English not all the website.
Try Google Translate, works not too bad: http://translate.google.com/translate_t?langpair=zh|en
Many Chinese websites are using Microsoft stuff and have therefore non standard buggy features not supported by the other browsers. You'll have to live with it.:cursing:
Brice, thanks for this. The Google translator site was a revelation!. Its going to be very helpful over time. Thanks again.:clap:
Hello lads,
Nice to be here.
My best wishes to Chinese rocket girl. It's so cool seeing those pigtails hanging out under her helmet. :thumbup:
Brice, thanks for the translation link. That will come in handy!
See you guys around the 'hood.
Well looky here! The Indo man!:clap:
Nice to see you representin' holmes. Dis here be da supah fly chillin' hood.

Hi Carl,
Are you high or are you typing with your feet?
You write a strange dialect in your posts tonight. Even Google Translate can't make it. :confused1:
No man, I was just elaborating on your use of the word "hood". You know man! Foolin' around! :thumbup:
