Yes was bloody spectacular alright.................. 851 or 888 Pat ?

That's a very well trained bike. After falling over and losing its rider, the bike got up all by itself and eventually found its own way to the infield. The fireball was a bit of un-necessary drama though.

Yeah - but what boots were you wearing?

You sure these aren't actually the Stephane Mertens pair? I was at Phillip Island the year his 916 hit the deck then found its wheels again and careered down the pit wall (without Stephane!) ablaze - a fireball flying down that wall at 200+!! Whenever I think of him I think of fire and flames!!
