Hi Bill,

I'm OK, just getting over the shock of seeing so much carnage, used to see a lot of it in the '70's as a photog, but it brings it home to you when it's one's own, that everone has worked so hard and long on.....

Yes, I did get a bump on the leg in the staging lanes, totally my fault for not looking where I was going, just a lttle bruise is all, not as bad as the bruise to the ego...LOL.

Excellent sequence there, Jon. Looking at how high those front wheels got, it might be a helpful suggestion to say the wheelie bars could do with a downward adjustment and perhaps an addition of a tiny smidgeon of weight in the nose... perhaps half a dozen sacks of potatoes?! :D (Just kidding!)

Getting back on topic, the picture that caught my attention was the final one of the Saturday sequence and is highly noteworthy, as it demonstrates the rarely seen phenomenon of puffing the FRONT tyres:-
