Cycle World Magazine - Photo Shoot on the Beach

Cycle World were interested in a feature on the bikes and since Cycle World is the biggest selling motorcycle monthly in the US, we were very interested in letting them.

Cycle World photographer gets down to it

We had planned to meet Dave Edwards, the editor of Cycle World magazine during bike week but schedules collided, paths went uncrossed and it didn't happen until later in the month. 

Cycle World wanted to do a photo shoot of the bikes on that part of the beach where the race used to take place.

Although the old tarmac road has long since been replaced by rows of hotels, motels and Holiday Inns, the sand and sea remain as evocative as they were 50 years previously.

So the bikes were photographed with the sea behind them - the only 'good' side the beach circuit has left to show anyone.

Cycle World did us proud with a big multi-page full colour feature a couple of months later.  But we had Project Daytona photographer Sam Trent on-hand to capture the event and also take some glamour shots of the restored bikes with the sea for a backdrop.

Sam's photos were so good, we felt we ought to show them here... so we're showing lots!

Enjoy.....
