Tips for taking pictures of motorcycles

Nice shots, took me back in time and thousands of miles MUSCAT memories. Good work and good memories recall.
Hey guys,
Long time member but been dormant for a while. I do check this forum regularly for inspirations, reviews, technical queries and advice, so maybe its time I contribute in an area that I may know one or two things about......
Although mobile phone cameras are as good as digital point and shoot cameras however, they will never be as good as a proper DSLR. Doesn't have to be full frame or expensive, but the fact that you have control over exposure, shutter speed and aperture, as well as the ability to take images in RAW format is what will make your pictures stand out!
I do tend to take my pictures using natural light, so timing is crucial! harsh midday sunlight is the worst, as well as no sunlight at all!
The second important aspect is the angle, motorcycles are long and slim, hence it is very important to decide on the preferred angle and front wheel position as well.
here are few pictures of my bike and some of my friends'...for your viewing pleasure.

Seriously? Now I'm going to have to break of the DSLR... She's been neatly tucked away for 6 years. I owned a small camera shop and photo lab that went belly up in 2009 and I just "put it away" to minimize the pain. Those shots were an inspiration to open up the case...
