Wayne Gardner picture

Has anyone got a decent resolution jpeg of this:

<googles ... in vain>

Considering it's such a classic image I'm amazed t'internet isn't littered
with copies of it.

This is the crappy b&w version I've got a copy of...
http://www.micapeak.com/DPG/racing/grand_prix/500cc/honda/gardner.jpg

I've checked all my bike books too - but no luck.

 

Its a goldandgoose pic so I imagine they're quite sharp about copyright. You
could try www.goldandgoose.com but it all looks media only.

Ooh, nice - if tiny.

I found this low-res copy taken with Spete's digi-cam...

What he said. IIRC, it was a pic he got by accident - the highside was
in the background and he didn't know he had it until it was pointed out
to him.

IIRC (again) the original transparency is insured for ukp10,000.

 

LOL.

 

How much is the orginal transparency insured for?

 

Less than Gardner's - but more than yours.

 

Tell me about it. It's been over a year now. I try not to think about it.

 

I had an A1 poster that came with Performance Bikes about ten years
ago, but it self-destructed.

 

I might try windmilling the cunts.

 

Yep, it was an accident. But he got the shot because his main lens was
fucked so he had to use a shorter focal length lens while the other guys
all had their mega-lenses. When Gardner highsided their lenses where too
close to the subject so most of the image was lost, whereas Patrick
Gosling had the shorter lens so got the whole thing

That picture turned him from 'that bloke who does pictures for Gardening
Monthly' to 'the best automotive sports photographer in the world'

I bet you and the other guys at Gardening Monthly still remember him
fondly, though, eh?

 

I *knew* there'd be a use for this photo .... one day :

No. Bike had a pull-out of "Best ever motorcycle pictures" or some such
and it was in there. The only one I scanned was this one:

It's worth checking the throttle hand..

 

That;s dead famous that is. Can't remember who the rider is (damn
this old head), but the photo was by Don Morley. The rider flipped
the bike, and it hit Morley, braking his legs...

Quite.

His picture of some ivy laying a darkie across a wall is legend.

 

Dennis Ireland? Throttle stuck open I believe.

 

I doubt I'm good enough to work on it...
