New boy

I'm Steve, and I ride an S2R1000 at the moment (sounds like an into at Ducati anonymous!). I'm pretty active on UKMOC, and sometimes on Ducatisti, but after doing a couple of trackdays I'm considering the DD series. Now, I'm not very fast, and most of my 4/5 years of riding have been around London so I'm not experienced in track/knee down shenanigans.

I don't have anywhere to store a DD bike at the moment, so I'm trying to get involved in the forum, maybe attend a race day or two, and do a few more track days/California Superbike School etc to get myself ready. I'm trying to move into a house with a garage which would then mean I can buy and fettle with a DD bike. I'm no mechanic, but can do a basic service and bolt on parts so I can at least get my hands dirty.

Anyway, if there are cheap bikes going I may join in sooner, but at the moment I'm in the "pending" camp. I know people run in DD without a garage etc, but I'm in a 1 bed flat, and simply have no room to do any work on a bike at the moment.

Anyway, that's me. Hope to meet some of you soon…

Steve

You won't regret it at all, best thing I ever did with a bike.
I think we both did the UKMOC Mallory TD this month?

Welcome Steve, DD is a great way of starting racing, you will enjopy it. There is a Ducati only trackday at Cadwell on the 23rd of this month (a Saturday, if your close enough pop along, as Bionicle will have his DD bike there and I have no doubt there will be a few others as well, or even book the track day
