The local Police did all they could to ban this event once more but were left frustrated as all they did was give it publicity and make the event even bigger.

Intrepid BAND correspondent Lisa Pawsey braved the Police cordon and went about celeb spotting for us. She did so well that we have to let her off of failing to wear her BAND t-shirt on this occasion.

It was good to see Eddie Kidd making an appearance following his horrific crash at the Bulldog bash in 1996 that he is still on the biking scene. Although his communication is impared, he clearly still has an eye for the women and insisted that Lisa have a cuddle for this photo.
