I don't enjoy riding in the wet on any tyres. Too many years commuting in the rain have left me really bored of getting wet.

Miles - simple answer - people need to step-up and continue the great work that Trudi Kev and Kev have put in over the years.

Not yet, I will continue in DD and see which direction it goes in then if it still feels like DD I'll continue, but if it starts to feel like every other race series I may look at doing something else

Being a gobby **** who doesn't mind upsetting people (a shock to some I know), I've considered doing the rider's rep thing as I'll be doing all 2014 and trying to do all the meets thereafter. Will have to have a chat with Trudi about it before putting my name in the hat though.

But who do we have that can/is willing to do Skids' techno bit, Ghostie has been mentioned but does he know he has?


It's not the size of the dog in the fight that matters, but the size of the fight in the dog.

After reading all this debate people will understand why we have decided to step away . over the years Trudi has done a good job i think that s just my biased opinion anyway she has had many debates with riders and officials over the years but this year she was verbally abused bye a rider twice now which is what has made her mind up to leave, thank you to all the riders that came and apologised to her on his behalf .who ever decides or is decided to take the role on i wish you luck you need to be thick skinned its better if it is not a rider but some one looking in from the side lines , so can see things from both sides .

A very sad post Kev. What have we become shouting at Trudie? I thought we were all gentlemen racers. Apparently not.
