Having now finished for this season, our thoughts need to turn to the 2010 season and in particular the current rules and any changes that might be warrented.

Kevin and I have started on a review already and identified a small number of clarification issues that need to be addressed.

However, as in past years it is important that we hear from any registered rider (this year or next) as to any suggestions that they may have regarding the current rules or changes that they would like to see for 2010.

If you have any suggestions then please send them via e-mail to desmodue@ducatisportingclub.com by the 31st of October.

Please be advised that we will only take into account items forwarded via this method, we are not going to trawl through posts on the Forum, to see if we miss anything.

Thanks for all of the messages and calls so far received, keep them coming.

I thought altering athe rule to allow a 583 pattern piston would have been a good idea

Also the rule on using Diablo tyres as they may not be available next season

good idea with the pistons Kev

what about allowing adjustable forks in class B ?
theres loads of 900ssie forks (later type showa's) around for sale but no
non adjustables
As we have a 53bhp limit in class B why not free up engine/ignition rules up a bit ?

As all serious suggestions should be submitted as layed out in accordance with the Desmo Due rules and that being the basis for this topic as noted in the very first post, then any suugestion made under this post aren't considered as offical and leave themselves open to attracting banter.

So far emails have been received that have included among others

Removal of the wording to do with ignition timing to allow it to be altered
Allowing Crank Balancing
A combined minimum weight for Bike and rider
Use of Carburetors on Class A bikes
Change to Maxxis tyres
Blue Printing of engines
Change wording to cleary ban any use of devices that change ignition timing
Don't go to Maxxis, if not Pirellis then look at Bridgestones
Use of Wets
Use of Warmers
Switch to Dunlop Alpha 10s
Open up rules on sub frame mods futher to allow for crash repairs
Do away with the control tyre and allow a tyre free for all where everyone can use what they want

In some cases there is only one suggestion with others there are two, three or four

i take the hint about about being too serious and have already submitted my email suggestions.

Confused here, I can move my pickup cradle along its slots to give me 10°+ the ignition ignitor boxes will therefore give that 3 to 4° extra advance. These are devices and change the ignition.

If one is using silly advance figures on std fuel we will be seeing a lot of holed pistons and a lot of tinkling noises on the straights.

Or we could just make things a lot more complicated.

You're confused! Hawkin's A Brief History Of Time was easier to understand.
