Motorcycle Photographer Looking for Bikes

[jolsen]

It's not everyday I get a Nimbus in front of the camera, so this was special for me. Especially because I was there to photograph a Panther. (There's another Nimbus at the Barber Museum) If you're in Wisconsin with something nice hidden in your garage I'd like to see about getting a photo.

The nice folks at Throtttlestop in Elkhart Lake WI welcomed me for a second day of photographing in their consignment collection. This Thor Model U was my favorite. I'm always looking for interesting bikes to photograph, so contact me at john.olsen337@gmail.com if you're in the WI or IL area. More at www.johnolsenphoto.com.

Gene and Paul: Thanks, there are just so many great bikes out there to shoot. Or maybe it's just a compulsion.

Here's an almost modern Benelli SEI, also from Throttlestop. These are hard to photograph because they're so wide (air spaces between the six cylinders), but this one was on a pedestal so I could get some light under it.

At the Slimey Crud Cafe Racer run in Leland, WI: A "ratted" Yamaha XS 650. The ratting was done carefully and the bike was mechanically sound. More images at johnolsenphoto.com.
