First night down there with a mate last night. Within 5 seconds of arriving a GSXR was hit by a car after bumping down a kerb and lsing control, he was then catapulted into the kerb by the bike but was ok. five minutes later in the queue of traffic behind that crash a bike ploughs into the back of a van, and on the way home a policeman slowed us down as there was another crash with a car and a bike. Everyone seemed ok, but what a first impression!

Any fairly large gathering of bikes has its incidents and nutters,perhaps one of the reasons I try to avoid them,ways of the world.

Sounds like Mike, Sean and Seggons were there then.

View Seggons' video of a close up of a back of a transit van on YouTube now. Just search for 'Seggons rear ending a tranny'. All shot from his helmet cam.

What an amusing name for a video.

I am genuinely suprised to hear of the accidents. I've been going to Great Bentley for years, and since the much needed crackdown on plain old ******** stupidity, there has been very little trouble at all. In fact I can't remember seeing anything more than a careless drop.

I'll be there again soon, now the beast works again

+1 never seen any incidents. Usually because the Oscar Bravo's are there.

Hopefully I'll be there next week
