I know we already have a motorcycle thread, but since the photos that would be posted here are from from this event, I thought it deserved it's own thread.

Anyways, the event was held from January 12-14 at the Washington DC Convention Center. Louie and I went there around 11am and came back home around 7pm. There was also a monster truck show at a nearby facility but we were already too tired to go there(mahirap talaga yung tumatanda :)).

My shots were taken mostly using the D80 and 17-55 dx with some fisheye thrown in where appropriate. Louie also used his D80 along with his new 18-200 VR. My shots did not go any lower than ISO 800 and there were no noise reduction applied in post processing(just resized and applied a touch of sharpening in batch mode).

By the way, though I love bikes, I am not abreast with the latest info regarding the different brands and models so I would defer it to Louie if you have any questions regarding them.

Anyways, here are the pictures. First from the Ducati booth.
