Best to take plenty of time to plan the shooting, we had already had a couple of meetings together to discuse the arrangements and brain storm the story lines.

I arranged the barn to be a collectors garage.

We even decided different formats for the films, 16:9 for the 851 and the Hailwood will be filmed in 4:3 which is more in keeping with the historical theme.

a really nice line up of sporty Italians

high level shots to be taken from the roof of the cow shed

A great view down onto the barn and the YB4 especially.

The bikes from above make a real spectacle.

Start of the film: I come in to choose my bike for the day

then wheel it out into the yard, where it gets started and warmed up before riding out. On the road shooting next week . .

Bruno with ear plugs whilst he filmed the shaking Superbike Kit (non) mufflers as I kept the revs up.

Here is a taster, before the film cassettes go to be digitized and edited. A low definition cut of the bike being started and riden for the first time since 1995, great sound !
1 minute 37 seconds
