    Motorcrosser? or just a dirt bike rider?
    Motorcrosser sounds more 'newsy' now that there's coverage of Coppins and Townley.
    Doesn't it.
    Speed doesn't kill people.
    Stupidity kills people.

    Does it matter? Dead is dead.

    Just noticed this

    Hadnt heard about this up until now,

    Quad bike death

    My condolences to both familys involved in these two tragic accidents, but I have to ask, why was a 4yo riding a 300cc Quad bike by herself? No wonder manslaughter charges have been laid.

    geez ... it might be the death of the track if the info in the artical is correct ..."tractor going one way bike the other & the track was open !!" OSH's rotweilers are going to have a good feed on this.
    ... you know it's a bit windy when you get passed by your own dust ...

    Yeah i was thinking that myself, Wonder what effect it will have on the track The guy who owns it is a real nice guy, hes been in the moto-x scene for years, Im guessing it was him driving the grader ( i thought it was a front end loader, but the herald says grader, my memory is a bit blurred)

    I also have Sympathy for him, as i have been up there before on a wednesday, and hes told us not to go out on the track when the he was out powerhoe-ing the track, maybe he was out hoeing, someone turned up and just went for it, theres a few low sections in that track, enough to conceal the grader from the riders view ?

    Very Sad
