The perfect donut














Improvised entertainment outside the beer-tent at the Australian MotoGP. The rider created a perfectly round donut, parked his bike and marked the centre with an empty beercan before heading for the bar. It was wierd: for ages, no-one would walk into the circle of melted rubber, but walked round it. We were crowded shoulder to shoulder, but didn't step inside the ring!

The action begins!


Ear boggling noise :-)
