I have access to a commercial printshop for a few weeks till I leave and I'd like to print out some lifesize pics of some bikes, does anyone have a link to some high res pics?

Asphalt & Rubber sometimes has fairly big hi-res photos (example)

Not sure how big is "big enough" for life-size printing.

Believe it or not, sometimes stock photography sites have a decent selection.
Shutterstock never lets me down for MotoGP photos.

For $59 you can buy a 5-download package, which is 5 photos at the highest resolution available.

let me see how they turn out and make sure they are worth making quality wise.  if it all goes ok you can just send me the files you want pics of and ill blow them up for my cost of materials.  basically im trying to make something like the "fatheads"

Neato.

I have some hi-res (4288x2848) photos from the IoM TT, but nothing for superbike or GP.

4288x2848 is a 3:2 ratio so the biggest that i could go with those images and keep it looking good (300 dpi) would be about 14x9.  thats about the best that I am finding so far for free, but i wanna do something like 4 foot by 6 foot or at least the size of a bike, its not looking good for me though.
