Know there are a few motorcycle fans here on the forum and I thought these pics may be of interest. There are some road races a few miles down the road from me and "number 8" crashed at 130mph. Amazing thing he escaped with minor injuries and was airlifted into hospital concious and joking with the medivac team.
Much as I would like to say I took these pics I did not, the credit lies elsewhere, in the first pic you can see the fuel tank flying through the air!!
