There's more than a few of us that thought DD would be a bit of a soft touch as the lap times don't look much on paper. Once you get out there and try your hardest on your 50-60bhp missile you start to realise how bloody hard the front guys must be pushing these little bikes, on, at best, vague feeling road tyres. Anyone who thinks it's a piece of p*ss and nothing more than a steady trackday with flags is so sadly mistaken it's untrue.

*steps off soap box*

mate, on his 999 he laps slower than Phils 583 on any track based on times i've seen.... that's almost 3x the power..

So joking aside andyb why the attitude towards dd ? Why the constant digs at the lap times ? Surely you should be impressed that a low powered bike on non sticky tyres can go so quick ?

[weeksy2]

I wasn't joking Tony....

Lets have a list of Andys best laps round any circuit and compare them to the DD laps from this season hey ?



Come on Andy... lets see what you've got lad...

Sounds fair to me, surely no one would have a pop without having the balls to back it up ?

this has gone off topic here i wanted to see if there was a few of us doing this track day and if there was we could book together and get a discount now

stick to the subject.

Not sure if I'm playing at Snett yet, so I'll let you know after Donington

I think that as well

I've not booked at Snett, yet!

Now, back to the tangent!
