      not that i recall will have a quick look thru. what day and what type of bike (..... and where abouts is pothole)

      got footage of 2 bikes on the ground one is #31 that happened just after i filmed the other one a bit further round the track. also 198 and 2 going off the track before the main straight (think that was on the sunday). and some real shakey footage of 38(or maybe 36) picking up his bike - that could be pothole as it has a large pothole people sign

      It was one of the first races on the Saturday. Bike is a Ducati Monster red tank/ black seat and number boards. I was wearing black leather. Pothole is the one before the hairpin- you are correct it has the big Pothole People sign behind it.
