Following yet another email (there have been many) of positive suggestions and useful information to a RC member - I got told off for not emailing the proper DD email address (like it made a difference) - yes that's right!

Not only that, but the RC member didn't like the idea that someone other than the RC tried to do something positive with DD, especially when they didn't think of it, AND, as I failed to run the idea of the rider profiles past this person before organising it all - I'm satans love child.

Anyway, I'm putting the rider profiles on hold.

We wouldn't want the commentator knowing what he's talking about now would we.

Also I just like to say a few apologies...

Sorry for promoting the DesmoDue series whenever possible.
Sorry for setting up the DD Forum, to take the bitching off this forum.
Sorry for setting up the DD Racer website to provide lots of really useful info on the series (which isn't on here!).
Sorry for getting the series (and club) on Wikipedia - and several riders.
Sorry for sorting out the Official Points spreadsheet (saving the RC the hassle)
Sorry for the publicity I have gotten the club through newspaper reports and BBC features.
Sorry for encouraging people to join the club and DesmoDue - fact.
Sorry for putting people off DesmoDue (apparently).
Sorry for listing the DSC as a 'Series Sponsor' on the DD Racer website and not as "the club that run it."

...and last of all, I'm sorry for driving a wedge between the club and riders (RC quote!).

I'm sorry.

DD could be so good as well. It's a shame. A big shame.

Cheers

HMM Im shocked............................NOT

If thats the **** you're getting off the RC then no ****ing wonder we're bowing to New Era's every comandment at the minute, it's a load of toss BOTH ends of the stick it seems

Dom. I love you

In a brotherly way that is. Rise above it - this is what happens with all bike clubs of all persuasions and is why I will never be a paid up member again if I can help it. The politics and in-fighting gets to you in the end...personally if I was a member of the RC then I'd be all too happy to let you do the grafting

I wasn't going to bother offering any more ideas/contacts/experience after a previous email over the weekend, but then something came up today and I thought it could really benefit the series in a big way, so I emailed the RC and all I get back is more c***.

Personality clash I think, but hey, if it makes the RC happy to have me out of their hair at the expense of the series, then so be it.

I will just turn up and race from now on.

I look forward to seeing the series flourish next year, just like it has this.

You could always post the mail up for the rest of us to see. That might provide some hilarity

[domski]

I'd like to finish the series thanks.

Also to answer the RC member mentioned above (as I've had another email) I'm not going to name you as I think that would be seen as a personal attack - which this is not. I'm not suggesting you do FA either - Just pointing out that I've actually done quite a bit - and not been thanked for any of it (bar the points).

I'm done with trying to help. I'm just going to be a rider like everyone else.

Dom...I would be very surprised if you could be banned. Is there a rule that say you can be? Certainly, as a paid up member of New Era the RC can't touch you in that respect. This is all getting very silly.

[twpd]

Remember Dom..you can race almost any bike you want with any club you want elsewhere. But a race series without riders is no kind of race series at all
