Racing Motor Bikes on the beach.

I post this simply because I have never seen anything like this...clearly it is popular given the number of spectators.

Enjoy.

That looks like fun, :thumbsup: however, I would worry about falling off and 2,000 riders using my body as traction material.

I came down in a race and ended up with a knobby tire track from my right hip to my left shoulder...we wore leather pants but just a foot ball jersey for upper body ...the bike travelled over me from my shoulder to my hip and just spun the jersey out of the way...but it looked as though you had covered the tire in ink and printed the pattern on my back.

It's funny when you are out there you don't notice...when you are crashing you are pulling in the clutch so the bike does not stall ...but one day I just looked at a race and thought they are crazy and so I retired...35 bikes would go into a corner that could only take two...

Australia has its own motorcycle beach race, not as many riders as that one though. Just south of Mackay QLD.
