I saw this on another BBS, not one of ours I hope
I was at the famous Bassetts Pole bike meet this evening watching the regular Tuesday evening 'stunt' displays. Upwards of a 1000 bikers were there watching all manner of un-cordinated stunts while one solitary bike cop sat and watched powerless to do anything.
Of course the inevitable happened, a geezer on what looked like a Super Blackbird looses control while 'sparking' his knee sliders at about 50mph and the bike flies into the un-protected crowd inches away from the road.
I counted 8 ambulances and 15 paramedics on the scene shortly afterwards in what looked like a bad episode of casualty! Not sure how many people got hurt but clearly it wasn't good, the rider didn't look too healthy either.
I could be wrong but I think that may be the last meet at Bassetts Pole.
