World Renowned Photographer Bill Petro showcases his work at the Motorcycle SUPERSHOW Toronto, Canada – Since the early 70’s, fans of motorcycle racing have been stimulated by the exciting action images of Bill Petro. His images have been published in magazines and newspapers in Canada and the US. Bill was born and raised in Canada’s Motor City, Windsor Ontario. In fact, he lived right across the street from Ford’s test track with a banked mile oval, the greatest playground ever. Bitten by the photography bug as a teenager, Bill competed in and won high school photo contests. This prompted him to enroll in the Photography program at Conestoga College and after graduating he moved to Toronto to pursue a career as a product photographer. On the weekends Bill found himself at Motocross tracks cheering his brother on and honing his action photography skills. Branching out from motocross to motorcycle road racing and auto racing, it wasn’t long before he became a regular name in the Mosport programs. Racing was in his blood and as a freelance motorsports photographer Bill covered local and international motorcycle races throughout eastern North America in the 70s and 80s. From the beginning, the editors of Cycle Canada saw something in Bill’s work and not only published his race pictures but hired him to shoot many of their test bikes. Bill’s Photographic Exhibit, on display in the Performance and Racing Hall #4 at the 2010 Motorcycle SUPERSHOW, is a selection of black & white images from some of the best motorcycle races of the 1970’s. Featured is the iconic cross up image of Jim Pomeroy taken at the 1972 Canadian 500cc Motocross GP, a photo that’s been seen around the world, and one of the early on-track shots of the top Mosport road racers that Bill captured while sitting backwards on an equally fast motorcycle. The North American International Motorcycle SUPERSHOW takes place January 15, 16, 17 at the International Centre, 6900 Airport Road in Mississauga. Parking is free.
