Thanks to Darcy for the webspace.

It's worth noting that I do have footage of Graeme Ritchie's fatal accident at Brands Hatch, but I won't be posting it.

Peter Goddard had a tyre blowout at Hockenheim in 1999 but managed to stay on his bike, despite the speed. He took out Igor Jerman, and this was what was left of the Kawasaki:



There's no footage of the actual crash, but I assume Jerman tagged the back of Goddard's Aprilia and was sent head-on into the armco, hence the front wheel being torn from the bike.

They had some serious bravery to race there.

Only capped this race, it was incredible. Might post the full thing later, but here are all the main moments for now. Live commentary from Julian Ryder and Toby Moody.

Hey I.F., remember you posted this video a whileback:



I've got an ID for it:

1999 - North West 200 - Mobil 1 Superbike Race 1 - Mark Perry and Paul Coward

It's the second wave of riders, hence the higher numbers on their bikes. Here's a list of all the people I could identify:

#68 - Phil Stewart - Honda CBR900
#57 - John Caffrey - Yamaha R1
#52 - Ronnie McAllister - Yamaha R1
#29 - Alan Bezzant - Kawasaki ZX-9R
#41 - Callum Ramsey?
#49 - Neil Jones - Honda CBR900
#35 - Michael King - Yamaha R6
#46 - Rob L'Anson - Suzuki GSX-R1000
#26 - Alex Donaldson - Kawasaki ZX-7R
#40 - Bruce Telford - Yamaha YZF600
#58 - Noel Hudson?
#62 - Anita Buxton - Kawasaki ZX-6R
#71 - Davy Morgan - Yamaha R1
#66 - Kevin Shepherd - Kawasaki ZX-7R
#33 - Nigel Healey - Yamaha R6
#61 - Chris Reilly - Honda CBR900
#15 - Dave Madsen-Mygal - Honda CBR750
#39 - Craig Shiriffs - Yamaha YZF600

I have the entry lists for all the races in the 90s, and the 99 race is the only one that matches with the numbers and bikes. The North West 200 is usually early in the year. I'll have another look at the entry lists though. The sheer number of Honda RVFs would suggest 1997, but there appear to be a few Yamaha R1s, a bike that came out in late 1998.

I'd like to think that there are more bike fans here than on the old TK, but it might just seem like it because of the smaller member list. Either way, it's nice to be able to give people these clips. 1998 is on its way, including live coverage of the Laguna Seca disaster, Yanagawa's Monza fireball, and Troy Corser's dramatic warm-up accident at Sugo.

And while we're talking about Hockenheim, I'll name all the accidents I can remember, which happened on the straights:

1995 - Andreas Hofmann - highsided approaching 2nd chicane
1996 - Anthony Gobert - pushed off at Ostkurve by team-mate Simon Crafar
1996 - Troy Corser - collision with a private Ducati
1996 - Troy Corser - ran wide at Ostkurve and bailed out

None of them were injured. And here's a nice pic of the first lap in 1995. Pirovano, Corser and Slight approaching the Ostkurve flat out:

Finally I've got some more time on my hands, so here is the first bit of Round 3, from Monza. Includes Superpole from EuroSport, then the three races from Sky Sports. This one's worth watching to see just how good Superbike racing is on a fast track like this.

Next lap round, all hell breaks loose as Colin Edwards slips on the oil and runs wide, Chili and Haga just manage not to fall off, Yanagawa crashes, and Keith Huewen goes apoplectic in the commentary box. Then Fujiwara almost gets highsided, and Haga crashes at 5mph after saving his bike from slipping.

1981 - Suzuka - Suzuka 8 Hours - Wayne Gardner

If anybody's interested in the history of the World Superbike Championship from 1990 to 1999, I've come a long way with my website. So far there are complete championship results for all those seasons, videos for 1998 and 1999, entry lists for each race from 1997 and 1999 and a full race report from Jerez 1990.

1989 - 250cc GP at Hockenheim - A first lap pile up takes out several riders, with Ivan Palazzese severely injured and lying on the track. Virginio Ferrari sees him, stops his own bike and runs over to help Palazzese, then assists the marshals with the recovery and CPR. Unfortunately Palazzese died as a result of the crash.

1994 -World Superbikes at Misano - After an oil spill takes out several riders and the marshals do nothing, Stephane Mertens (who crashed on the oil) grabs the bucket of cement dust and spreads it over where the oil is, then stands by the track holding the oil flag.

2004 - World Superbikes at Imola - Chris Vermeulen highsides on the warm-up lap and destroys his bike, so Giovanni Bussei stops and gives him a lift back to the pits to get his spare bike in time for the start.

1985 - Transatlantic Trophy - Mallory Park - Steve Bonhomme

One of my main piece for my A-Level Fine Art coursework. Gregg Black in the 2007 World Superstock 600 race at Brands Hatch (click for ridiculously large pic):



Done with plain old pencils, ranging from 6B to 4H. This took me about 8 hours in total and I'm really pleased with it.

Remember Rossi carrying the blow-up doll around on the slow-down lap in 97? Biaggi wasn't too pleased then.
