Why didn't you just download it off the website like everyone else?

Because they had taken it off as it was the 04 application form not the 05 application form.

They hadn't finished the 05 form so I rang them and they said they would send me one as soon as it was available, so I haven't gone back on to see if they've put it back on.

Kind of moot really as DP don't have their 05 application forms out yet either .... going round in circles a bit here ...

Oh buggar-I have just got the optician's bit filled in on mine, but of course it's a 2004 form-I wonder if they will accept it??-I haven't had a race licence since 1971.......................

They will, John. Same thing happened to mine last year. Just include the eye report with the 2005 application.

Oh, and John, you might want to have a go on a post-Thatcherite race bike before your first race next year. Things have moved on a bit since '71...

Michael's going for Hideout on the recommendation of the Bemsee boys. Not too expensive (£900ish I think), 10% off for ACU licence holders, 10mins or so from the next junction north of Stansted on the M11 and you get your inside leg measured by the attractive young lady who cuts the hides .

Excellent aftercare service too (after Alec upset my sister by a bit of crash-testing in his brand new leathers earlier this year). Lots of choice of spec, colours, etc, but be warned that the race suits take a fair bit of wearing in around the house apparently but are fantastically comfy once you get that done.

"Things have moved on a bit since '71"-they certainly have Felix-back then I was hanging off the side of a 1000 Vincent sidecar outfit..................I'm not that stupid any more, now I just let WJB race my TZ............on second thoughts............

Lizzie, I'd agree with 'other' leathers about having to wear them for a month before you can stand up in them, and that's what my Dainese are still like after 4 years, but my MJK were like putting on an old t shirt and a pair of shorts, they're comfy from day one. This is due to the suppleness of the leather and the fact that they use soft armour in the elbows etc and not traditional hard armour. I'm raving a bit here, but they are very, very good. I've also heard great things about BKS, Hideout and Crowtree.
