Apparently it will be cancelled if it's too wet, being a road race with slippery surfaces & all. :-? *does a sunshine dance* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharn Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 was a good day despite a few less people, poor fella on the duc left a big cloud of smoke we were lucky enough to have our bikes on display this year for some safe (and flyer free) parking :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whetu Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Did anyone see the poor Duc and R1 on fire?! I didn't make it to Paeroa after all, but apparently there was a rather spectacular crash. http://www.kiwirider.co.nz/09bots/inferno.jpg Nobody was injured, but I did see pics of one of the riders running away with his leathers on fire. He rolled in the grass and put out the flames - and was completely unscathed! Hooray for good leathers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted March 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 I didn't get down either but my son did. He said he was the other end of the track and saw the smoke. They showed it on tele this afternoon about 5pm/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
