A wide range of choice items for the rider to hit, although the only one that might not damage him too much is the chubby idiot with the camera (?)

Can't place the location, though.

My thoughts exactly...................

I think it's somewhere in the good old US of A

In fairness, a long telephoto lens was probably used for that shot which would foreshorten perspective. The photog is probably a lot further back than the image suggests. However, he is guilty of chimping when he should have been shooting

Point taken, sticky, but the 26th Milestone last year told us just how far a bike will fly when it goes down, not to mention Tandragee.

I've just had a closer look at this pic and I'm not sure about what I said earlier! Zero run-off and bags of potential for a bike to vault the barrier. It looks like the infield of one of the oval tracks. Could it be Daytona?

I took this pic at last year Daytona with a digital x12 pocket camera, the corner aint as bad as it looks, and a bike hits the barier they end up here

Many bikes go down at this spot but never reach the fence

I hear you Colin, but I'm not convinced . . . . . . . . . .
