Yamaha FZ6R – Photoshoot Dramas

I rolled out of bed this morning a little groggy, cursing my alarm clock and wondering what could possibly be more important than snoozing on a lazy Sunday. It was cold, it was damp and I was certainly in no mood to leave the warm comfort of my bed.

So when I remembered that today I was shooting the Yamaha FZ6R, you can understand that for me this was important enough to man up, get my gear on and get out the door... into the pouring rain.

I'm not usually one to complain about riding in the rain. In fact, if you ask me, usually I'll tell you that those guys that shed their bikes over the winter and hibernate instead really need to harden up. This morning though, I wimped out and it seems I paid dearly for it. Taking the cage to meet the test rider, my car bombed out in the middle of The Rocks, Sydney. In what turned out to be clearer weather and ideal conditions for shooting, I was stuck by the roadside waiting for NRMA. By the time all was done, the light had all but vanished.

Even then, I still managed to get a few shots off in-between waiting for help, which you can see below.

So what are the lessons learned?

Hopefully these pics make the cut.
