      Thank you very much Chris! That must have taken quite a bit of time to put together. Great pictures. I wish you could have included a bag of Malteazers with the show as I'm a bit hooked on them. Cheers!

          I'm glad you all liked it. I posted it to share the experience and if my fellow GSR members enjoyed the post that's great...I succeeded and the time was well spent. What I really enjoy is starting a discussion and reading folks responses to my posts. So, if anyone wished to comment on or disagree with some of my comments and conclusions that's better than fine with me.

          Certainly I appreciate the many kind words folks have shared.

          Thanks again,

          Chris

            Fantastic photo tour of what appears to be one of the best motorcycle shows. I'm curious what iso setting you used for the interior shots ?

              Awesome!! Thanks very much!

              Ducati Scrambler.....IIRC, they made the Scrambler in the 70's, yes? I seem to recall my father have a 250 Scrambler that was yellow, black and a chrome (bmw toaster like) insert on the side of the tank.

              My best guess would be that he purchased it in Rota, Spain in the late 70's.

              Thanks again.

                I used a Canon 5D with a Sigma 35-70 f2.8 and a Canon 60D with a Sigma 17-35 f2.8. The 60D was set at ISO 2000 and I don't remember what the 5D was set to. Probably 1600 I think. Most of the shots were with the 60D.

                My wife also had her Rebel T1i with the kit lens but I think the only shots I used from her camera was the ones of the R1200RS with me in the photo. She was almost certainly in the full auto "green" mode but she sometimes goes to the "sports" mode to get the higher ISO level.

                Thanks for asking. The photography was a fun part of the event.

                  You're welcome and thanks for the kind words. If your Dad bought it at Rota would I be safe in assuming he was probably in the Navy? I remember the old Ducati "ice cream cone" single cylinder models well. In the late 70's I was stationed in Germany and riding my first BMW, that '76 R100RS. Best wishes to your Dad and mention to him some of us from the old days are still stationed (and riding) over here, although as DoD civilians now.

                    Correct, Navy for 28 years. I remembered his bike as a twin....but it was a while ago so I my be incorrect. I will ask him for a photo. Thanks again...great thread.

                      I was just a short timer...I got out of the USAF after only 24 years.

                      (But then I put in another 10 years with DODDS overseas at Yokosuka Navy Base in Japan. And now I've been at an Army base in Germany for two years. Does any of that count?)

                      Thanks again for the kind words about the post.
