For the cost off Tim's bike you could get a 583 prep it and race it for the whole year including all fuel, one front tyre and two rears. So if its cheap you are looking for then 583 could be the way to go.

That's the advert Tim should have run

Shallow end, that will be DSC riders not competeing seriously in Sound of Thunder then, both 620 and 583 riders alike.
So in the deep end we have Garry Smith, Dallas, Felix ?? Dom ??
Anybody else let us know, I for one am interested.

it all depends on your eligibilty for each class and then on your budget also taking into account your motivating factors for racing as well as the type of racing you want to be involved in.....................

What does that mean?

The shallow end is where if you get tired, you can out your feet down and stand up. The deep end is where you put your feet down, they dont touch the bottom and you drown.

Real men swim in the deep end!

TiM was DD not aimed mainly at Toe in the water and hopefully help propel members into other classes after first finding there feet in racing, so that will be the shallow end and certainly happy paddling around in it be it 583 or 620. I enjoyed a couple of years in SoT but with the likes of Phil Bevan brining the Ex INS BSB Ducati into club racing I soon found the deep end had become a bottomless pit.
So major credit has to be given to those that go there, especially if they are doing more than just making up the numbers and even more so if there budget doesn't have lots of Zeros on the end..
I have no illusions where i stand on with my racing ability and the best thing about DD no matter what class is the FUN FACTOR, there isn't anything else like it in any of the race paddocks I have been in.
Also it allows me to continue racing dispite the thousands I have spent over the last few years, budget racing, don't you just luv it I know I do.
