Ooofff, that's a superb shot. Very evocative of the whole event. Lovely light. Nice capture. 8)

They are all great photos, thanks for posting Jamie (especially from us folk that couldn't make it). :)

I did this on Saturday - filtered a massive queue at Gate 4 (someone had crashed on the way in), rode up the dusty track to the car park, stopped to roll it backwards into a space, and fell over in front of twenty or so people. Two stewards helped me lift the bike (a 200kg Triumph Tiger XC) upright again.

Smooth as you like.

I was remembering when I went to the first two of these 19 or 20 years ago. I parked my camper under those big oak trees in front of the house, watched the action sat on normal rectangular bales right against the hill then later watched as the drivers , guests and VIP rocked up at the house for the Saturday evening bash.

How things have changed, I had free tickets for the weekend courtesy of my Bro in Law who was showing Sealegs and Seadoo craft but I couldn't face the crowds. Looks like a nice thing to view vicariously nowadays..roll on the Revival ...
