    Fatality at Taupo?

    Just heard on the radio news at 5:00PM that there has been a fatality and a number of serious injuries at a motorcycle meet "near" Taupo.

    Apparently a race had been stopped and some of the riders formed up on the grid. Others were unaware the event had been stopped and drove into the stopped bikes. One fatality and other serious injuries are reported.
    There is a grey blur, and a green blur. I try to stay on the grey one. - Joey Dunlop
