Motorcycle racing in black & white

Motorcycle racing from Portland International Raceway, courtesy of OMRRA, in black and white. Photos originally taken throughout months of June-October 2011. Many are of vintage bikes, but not all. Some are represented here because I like the racers and would like them shown in this version. All images copyright 2011 Jane Erickson Photography. Portland, Oregon, USA.

Marcel and his lean, from a different angle. Nothing distracts me when I am photographing the racers. I believe I took this photo while engaging in quite a conversation with one of the track workers.
Alan Schmidt will always be a hero of mine.......................................... I love the way he turned corners with no knee action----always so symmetrical with his body, and always sooooooo fast---like a human bullet under great control!!!! That's how I want to remember him---and how I hope to see him race one more year----perhaps...........................................................................................

Yep---a photo I surely enjoyed capturing.
