No they use it for spraying weeds and fertilizing. Were also doing accreditation for new pilots. Was massive over 1 m blades.

Don't know if this has been posted up yet, or if there was a thread for this track day, but Marshy had a big off at turn 1 in the second session, dislocated ankle is the diagnosis I believe, and the bike doesn't look too flash either. Hopefully he heals up quickly and the bike damage isn't too bad.
Turn 1 also seems to have developed a few more inconvenient bumps on the racing line since the St George meet.
Pics of his bike are somewhere in the link. Hasn't been spoken about much on here or at all. I was waiting for Nick to post something even though I know Steve was talking to his missus after he was taken to westmead. Nick sent a pic of his ankle to wetty from the hospital. It's posted on rats. Not dissimilar to Dans pics .
All the best if you're reading nick.

So the pictures on FB of the crashed bike with white fairings was the one Nick was riding? I'm guessing that bike's Steve's R6 that Nick had built for him? Nick said on Wed night he had found some new fairings for it, and was working on dialing it in after Steve had binned it on that wet Sunday a fortnight ago.
Bugger with the ankle, I'm guessing it was a high side then? And through T1 ... fark ... that's something you won't forget in a hurry!
Don't think it was Steve's as he was riding a blue one and the white one had nicks number 15. Yeah he would have been going fast. All I heard was some spectators say oh shit and and turned to see a massive cloud of dust and nick on the deck. Couldn't make his number out at the time so wasn't sure it was him until the session restarted minus him.

No camera's on the white bike ... somewhere in the outer of T1 ... would be interesting if they were running! Someone should start a business retrieving GoPros from SMSP and selling them ... like 2nd hand golf balls. :-)
Speaking of dust ... I'm going to have to buy you a cleaning kit for that lens for Xmas!!! ... Great photos there ... I love the pans especially ... but a lot of dust on lens ???

Yeah Nick was riding the white one on Nov 17. It's his 2010 I believe.
No cameras at ECRDs remember!
Been so long since I did one (July) that I'd forgotten you cant use them haha
Was a low side by the looks of the leg marks on the ground. He came off mad the end of the ripple strip, so must have been on the gas.
Thanks fellas. Yes, it was the 2010, which is farking fast!
I was having waaaay too much fun, and just overcooked it into T1. Actually, to be honest, I was pushing very hard, but I didn't think I'd particularly overdone it. Oh well. The front just let go on the bumps - and if the bumps really were bigger, that'd explain it!

I heard them mention that last word a few times, so might have something to do with it. In addition to the dislocation, I have 5 broken bones around the joint. So surgery is definitely required, but it now won't be until Monday at the earliest :(
An X-ray today confirmed that my swollen, purple finger isn't broken, so that's positive. Although I just went for my first wheelchair ride, and there's something wrong with my back :'(

Sorry to hear Nick, probably explains why I couldn't find you around the pits :(
Hope the recovery goes as quickly as possible for you!
Good photo's too, JPM should take notes!
Sorry, I polluted your photo gallery! That is just embarrassing compared to all the other photos, as Kanga pointed out though, living up to my forum name

Next time I go to take pics I can try get you front on if your there. Once I get to put more names to nicknames to bikes and faces I can make a point of getting better ones of you. Annyone can approach me and request pics on their favourite corner so if you see me give me a hoy. I enjoy doing it and more so when I know the people in the pic get a kick out of it. We all like to see ourselves out there and you can learn a lot from it too.
Id kill to get jpms big lenses.

Hi Nick everyone is shocked at hearing first of your off and now the extent of your injuries. We all are praying that the damage will heal quickly and not be as bad as feared.All the best with the surgery and a speedy recovery.
Cheers Chris
Should have said if you wanted to pass .Dont have to get rude about it!
Ahhh, sorry to hear. Tough gig :(
Calcaneus is the heel bone. With your photo looking so similar to mine that's probably your dislocation. The bone above that is the talus which is what I fractured. Good chance that's one of the breaks.
Where are you going for surgery?
In terms of painkillers, I found that a combination of OxyContin, endone and panadiene forte works best!

Last heard from him, he was waiting for surgery. So might be a while until he answers.

He'll get back to us eventually ... he's sure not going anywhere in a hurry ...
It's crazy season for ankles ... I was only telling Nick on Wed night about all the specialists \ MRI \ XRays I have been seeing over the last month after I rolled my ankle ... did it this time whilst gardening, dangerous pastime. I took the main ligament off the bone ... back in 4 weeks to see if it's worth surgery.
Hope you're happy Rick. You publicly shamed me into cleaning all my camera gear.

What happened to home and hosed? :(

either SMSP or wacky.... cant remember which one..
they are great to ride.. my preference on the road especially.. and plenty of fun on the track with the torque... only hit 200 kph down the straight but like the 250's , fun is not necessarily directly linked to how fast in a straight line
Life's too Short- YOLO!
Hang on we are talking bikes now??
Or are you telling me there's a recliner available with adequate clearance capable of 200 kph or mph?
Would be great for ad breaks for toilet or snacks.
Sounds expensive!
