Unfortunately.....no pics.

Most of the time I was solo...so couldn't.

Found out first-hand why most bikes drop in the kitty litter..... the stones get into the front disc/s /wheel and lock the wheel solid.   Then it's a real bugger to stand one up again AND clear it from the track.

Yes, they had me as 'trackie' for part of the time....

Shame bout the pics.

I only turned laps at the Island once, and that was on a little Suzuki GS 500....the hay shed and up and over Lukey Heights, scared the bejesus out of me....

A mate of mine knows all too well about the trouble with the kitty litter.....he high sided his '85 Interceptor in the middle of turn 12 and ran wide off through the gravel on the outside....both the front discs suffered damage from lodged rocks..

He was none too happy...it flipped and wrecked much of the horrible fairing the FF version had. I thought it improved the look myself!

Ive seen McCoy go through 12 cranked over to the 'be-jesus' pulling a mono....AND tyre smoke off the rear from wheelspin.

That's not 'supposed to be' possible....I think it screws with Newton...

We had a bike do a 'monumental' through 1 .....turned itself into a 'naked'....

....probably too naked....no fairings AND no tank or seat...

Yeah, I'm a bit late.... but...... "Straylians"?   Would that be a bunch of strays all gathered in the same place?

As long as that place is a pub, you'll hear no arguments from me!

Good thing Goyte won the Hottest 100 - I had money down on that outcome. Not enough to cover my total 'refreshment' costs, but hey.
