During the filming of this episode, Ken Boon's bike "White Lighting" caught fire as a propman started its engine in preparation for a shot. According Michael Elphick, quoted in a newspaper article about the episode, "We were walking towards it when there was a bang and it burst into flames. Chunks of metal flew and we all ducked for cover". Fortunately the fire brigade soon put the fire out and the bike did not suffer permanent damage.
