Welcome to PSP Bikesport
Welcome to the PSP world of Motorcycle photography. I am Paul Sturman a freelance photographer, specialising in Motorcycle Sports. On this website, you will find photos of Moto GP, 250GP, 125GP, World Superbikes and Supersport plus European Superstock. The British Superbike Series including support classes. There are also some other odds and ends, plus the usual Grid Babes, etc.
I have been a Motorsports fanatic for most of my life thanks to my father, who is also a "petrol head". My passion for bikesport has come back with a vengeance over the last decade or so, and as such, have travelled as a fan to many meetings in the UK and Europe, snapping from the spectator areas. I have only been photographing professionally for the past three years wihen I gained media access part way through 2004.
Galleries
Updated: 30/07/07:-
Due to technical problems, uploaded images have no file numbers at the moment. This is to be resolved shortly, so if you are interested in any pictures please call back, or try to explain which bike, meeting and class you are interested in. Many thanks, Paul.
Moto GP:-
2006 Donington MotoGP galleries are all availabe to view due to the amount of images many classes have multiple galleries. I have left the 2005 galleries on the site for now but have removed the 2004 ones.
World Superbikes SBK:-
Silverstone and Monza galleries have now been uploaded.They join the galleries from the 2nd and 3rd WSBK meetings of 2007 held at Phillip Island and Donington Park.

British Superbikes BSB:- Please note that due to restrictions placed on photographers by the BSB owners Dorna. and as I do not make sufficient money from sales to the general public, to pay the fee they are requesting, then I can only offer images for sale to riders teams etc. for this series.
You will now find the galleries from Mallory Park, plus the 2nd Oulton Park meeting, Knockhill, Mondello Park, Snetterton, Oulton Park, Silverstone, Brands Hatch GP circuit and Thruxton have been uploaded. In the Snetterton test gallery section, due to the poor weather and my commitments you will only find Superbike images.
All galleries for the 13 round 2006 series plus the Snetterton test have been uploaded, and are now viewable via the archive page.
I have removed 2004 / 2005 galleries from the site. if you are interested in any thing from these years please contact me with your request.
The Babe section:-
The 2007 Babe section currently consists of Various World Superbike and British Superbike galleries plus the Brands Hatch DTM meeting.
The 2006 Babes section contains images from BSB, WSBK, MotoGP and the NEC Bike Show. In the 2005 section, you will find archive images from the above series. Also check out the sub sections details below. The 2004 section will remain on the site for now.
Suzi Perry:- Has been included as a sub section. No disrespect Suzi. But I think most guys will agree you qualify as a Babe, and rightly deserve a section to yourself. In this section you will find pics of Suzi at work, this includes the Imola podium shots taken in 2002. I intend to increase the content, but as most of these will be scanned prints this will be done as and when I have time.
Vicki Pickering:- Vicki is a young lady I met at Silverstone BSB and persuaded to pose for a few pictures. The result of this hurriedly organised and brief shoot can be found in her dedicated sub gallery in the babes section. Given that this was all set up and shot during her lunch break I'm pleased with the results. If you check it out, I'm sure you will agree that it was worth me pestering her to do the shoot, why she is not a model remains a mystery to me.
DTM:-
By way of a change, I covered the DTM meeting at Brands Batch 2007. In this section you will find Stock and Race images of the DTM, the same for the FIM World Sidecar Championship. Aso European Formula 3, Formula Palmer Audi and some images from the Pits and Grid.
Moto1:-
Moto1 2004 galleries are now on line. I would like to thank Peter Duke, Robbie Allen and Carly Rathmell, for all the hard work and effort they put into the event. Moto1 2005 galleries are all uploaded. As I could only attend the Sunday of the meeting these are limited to. MotoX, Road Race and Podium.
Non Race:-
This section includes a galleries showing a small selection of the images from The Day of Champions 2006 and 2007. As well as The NEC Bike Show 2005 and 2006.
Dedication
I dedicate this site to all those who bring us so much joy and entertainment. In particular those who have sadly lost their lives: Joey Dunlop, Daijiro Kato, Hizzy, Bazza, DJ, Darren Mitchell, Captain Kirk McCarthy, Chris Jones, Gus Scott, Ashley Martin, Rammy, Guy Sanders and all round nice guy who will be sadly missed by all, Ollie Bridewell, as Puffy Daddy wrote, "I still can't believe you're gone".
Some of the above people I got to meet and chat to by attending various meetings. Others I did not. But rest assured they are all heros and will live on, in the memories of the fans and admirers they made by racing Motorcycles.
