    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.

    Thx, I'll watch out for those bumps on Sunday ... must be a result of all that rain.

    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!

    When I saw the photo yesterday I had to double take to see if it was one of mine - only difference was the Arai helmet.

    Hope it's just the dislocated ankle - this fracture is a c__t.

    Not necessarily high side - once you slide off the black stuff you'd get tossed around a bit and could happen then. I feel sick just thinking about a T1 high side :(

    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.

    Yeah Nick was riding the white one on Nov 17. It's his 2010 I believe.

    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 ???

    No cams or timing allowed on track days.
    Re the dust yeah poor maintenance there. The lens likely needs a service as well I bought it in the 90s with the film SLR. Think the other dust in in the body.

    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!

    New ones have auto cleaning of sensor, which is somewhat effective. Wifey bought me a photography course for Xmas ... so I hope to learn how to strip my SLR down and clean cause I had dust problems too. Should get your cleaned as the photo's are top notch!

    What tyres were you on Nick, and can you recall how many laps you got in before it went? Any changes to suspension prior too? I'm going to be EXTRA careful on the T1 bumps even at my pensioner pace on Sunday!

    What's the verdict? Just the dislocation? Calcaneus?

    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.

    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.

    Sorry, probably a mis-communication, I was referring to my appalling technique when I said it was embarrassing, not your photographic angle (but lets be honest, that isn't flattering for me either )
    Anyway, the name's Kris, you'll see me getting around on a matt black R6 in a rather untimely manner in the slow groups!

    Don't know if anyone saw but the guy on the cruiser in white did about 2 laps after the end of a session. Thought the flaggies were going to have to run onto the track to get the msg thru. The man was waiting for him at pit entry for a little chat. Funny but not funny.

    The dude on the Diavel? I remember over taking him early in the day but don't remember seeing him later. Wonder if he got kicked out or left through embarrassment haha
    I was out there with no_style, we will have to spend a bit more time exploring the pits and saying hello! I'm easy to spot if your ever out there again when I am lol I'm Mick/Kanga, fine with either

    I was out there with no_style, we will have to spend a bit more time exploring the pits and saying hello! I'm easy to spot if your ever out there again when I am lol I'm Mick/Kanga, fine with either
    Don't know what it was but it was a big barstard. He was sittin back like it was a Jason recliner. Maybe he was on the hooch before the riders brief and in between sessions. Ah well good on him for having a go. He'll know better next time........hopefully.
    No...I'm not loving that and I'm not loving that! But I'm loving this!
