Junior paparazzi stalks the backlots of Hoppers - I get younger looking every day!

My friends in the Deep Purple tribute band, Stormbringer, were engaged to perform at a Bike and Car show held by the Outlaws Gang. I went along to shoot them as well as the many hot (not in the ’stolen’ sense I hope) vehicles on display. A windy and overcast day brought excellent photograph conditions to capture the detail and immense attention given to these bikie’s babies. After a few hours of suspicious looks from some of them, they eventually softened up and enjoyed the attention I gave them once they realised I actually appreciated their work.

An amazing bike - wins every show in which it's entered

This Triumph engine is larger than that found in some small cars

This could happen to you if you look at a bikie the wrong way.
