    bugger

    From the photo I was thinking if it had something to do with the 'hump'. But there's no point in speculating.

    Very bugger

    Heaps of 'hugs' to all that were up there for a great day out - Darren and his team are the most proffessional track day providers I have come across. They WILL remain this way even through todays event.

    There are always wider families involved when a motorcyclist passes. Not only those guys and girls who put a lid on everyweekend, but work mates, family and extended friends.

    In honour of NOK, I will not devoldge any particulars, thoughts will be with all those extended families - support each other, I am so sorry.

    very very sad to be standing next to someone in riders briefing, then 35 mins later watching the Ambo's heads go down for them.
    condolences to friends and family.

    A shit of a day, horrible for everyone who was there, for Darren and his team, for Jamie K and Chris W who own the track; and of course, for the guy's family.

    It was just a track day, not superbike school.

    Condolances,
    Mike

    That is not good.......... especially for the person/family involved.
    It looks like the wall section that was the topic of much discussion earlier in the year.

    Jesus fuck. I feel like I want to cry. It seems worse somehow than if it was a road accident.
    My sincere condolences to the family and anyone who knew him.

    Start of the outside wall is unguarded. Had me worried when I ran wide close to it.

    Condolences to family and friends, and anyone who was there.

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    It would be interesting to know what happened- tracks being supposed to be safe with runoff areas and all?

    RIP poor guy.

    And it says he was an experienced rider!

    1. RIP very very sad news!

    2. I would really like to see some kind of report to what happened. The track is surposed to be a safe envirnoment. Sure its a dangerous sport but I would want to see if it was a freak of an accident or if there really is a potential danger with wall placements.

    Nearly all men can stand adversity and hard time, but if you want to test a mans true character, give him power....
