    Saw a group of bikes ( maybe 10 or more ), heading to Tauranga today when we were going for a ride to rotorua, was that anyone on here? We were in a group of 3.

    To be honest, I find that the fact that they charge a fee to watch the racing a bit off considering they close and use public roads and facilities. Maybe charge a fee for some prime viewing, but they should have a whole lot free for the public.
    Nail your colours to the mast that all may look upon them and know who you are.

    And how will you fund the Tv and prize money and all the other associated costs?, or should someone else wear all that just so you can get in for free?

    Well well, that was my first BOTS and damn was it cool!

    Stroudy was gunning it down that main straight. ( my fav bit )

    Also checked out the back straight where I heard all the wheelies happen, that was wicked too, especially the guy on the aprillia.

    Overall excellent!

    Ok so that was cool. It wasnt crashs that i wanted, it was thrills, close calls and stuff, And there sure was alot of those. high lights for me was seeing two guys collide coming out of the hairpin in practice session. They didnt crash or even slow down, but one of them lost something off his bike.
    Then later i seen one of the classics blow up right in front of me, droped its oil all over the place.
    The racing was exciting. Tight and lumpy ment the f1 f2 and motards were on one wheel often, And i suspect a little bit of showing off, because that was one big crowd watching.
    But what most impressed me was when i walked over the hill and stumbled upon the bike park. Id guess at least 10,000 bikes, maybe more. They were lined up three or more rows deep for the entire length of the course. Problery one of every model, every different color and condition. Throw in a splash of customs and some real old timers. It looked more like a massive bike show than a carpark.
    Then there was the free bike mag BRM given to me. The food places every ten paces, the loverly lady selling ice cold beer right out the doorway of one of the bars. Just when i was about to pass out from heat exhaustion too, life saving coolness.
    Oh and the holden commodore monster truck was neat.
    Well organized and executed id say, think i`ll have to become a regular. And the ride there and home wasnt half bad either.

    And the guy on the motard, that was doing huge rolling stoppies, should be given a crowd pleasing trophy too. He problery didnt notice the mexican wave of grins, cheers and 'nice stoppie' following him along.
