Lots .

Muilty bike pile ups judging from the Pic's (Well done Damien yet again). Biggest pile up in Buckets anyone. Easter down here one year. Me, Rick, Koba, and Sketchy, But Sketchy didn't hit the ground so that only makes 3. Video proof as well.

I am sure someone out there can better that.

I got a handfull of photos on Saturday in the pits before the rain came down, then it all got a bit busy for the rest of the weekend, so the camera stayed in the van.

F4 were behaving for most of the day, but in the end they figured out that B grade was having too much fun and decided to join in. Oh, except for the pile-up in the first practice of F4, but that didn't count as it was practice.

Have to admit I had more fun in F5 than I was having in B grade. Mainly because just couldn't get any mojo happening due to all the crashes. Just start getting comfortable and then realise I was about to be lapped, way too early in the race. Much nicer to be able to just concentrate on what I was doing rather than wondering if I'm about to be taken out by a muppet.

If anyone's interested in what it was like Saturday, there's a cool photo of Henk in the motard forum (sorry, can't be stuffed linking it here).

In case anyone hasn't seen it.

I also watch it frequently, I often use it to explain buckets to the uninitiated.

I do still feel a bit of a fool for dropping it there, my remember thinking to myself "You've been a pussy in this corner all day, give it HEAPS more!"

All the photos are up now :wings: I look like a right idiot on the pit bike. There is even one with me not coming last as proof... or is it someone lapping me... :shifty: Thanks for all the photos Damien.

Sorry I missed the racing later on and was not well positioned for the last lot of photos after the bro's second crash of the day. He was taken to hospital for a few hours but went home the same evening - nothing broken.

Regards
