XtraPix: Masterbike 2008-The People

Masterbike—the giant comparison test of all the top sportbikes done by the world’s top magazines—is a monumental affair, requiring much planning and behind-the-scenes effort. There are bikes to wrangle, riders to recruit, transport, house and feed, timing, scoring, photography, videography…so much stuff it boggles the mind. And yet, every year it comes off smoothly.

There are so many people that work very hard to make the MasterBike events a success. I wanted to direct the attention their way, so I put together this slideshow. I hope you enjoy it and get a bit of perspective of what goes on behind the scenes of the world’s most competitive trackday test.
