DD, Why should I do it in 2007?
Looking for a new challenge next year (apart from the new business,doing up the house and the Training/Competions I already have going) I`m thinking about doing something else...after all, life is for living!!!

DD could be it...So why should I ???

If I was gonna do it, it would be on a near standard bike or an Ex DD bike, not gonna be cheque book racing,I`m just looking for a bit more fun at the weekends.

because you'll regret if you don't do it. It's just the best thing which happened to me since I live in your country.

Simple.

To prove to yourself where you 'are' in the overall scope of things. To know how hard you can try when you push the limits.

Ignore all the garbage about the paddock and the banter... .that's all a bonus...

What it's all about is trying to be the best you can be.

because it is a superb thrill and great fun. the atmosphere in the paddock is great; unbelievable from what you may read on here but it is. doing it on a near standard bike will be no handicap. if you are a quick rider you'll be up there, if you are slow you'll be at the back but will still have enormous fun and plenty of battles throughout the season.

if you fancy a go on a bike. i will be at a few tyrackdays over the winter and you are welcome to have a try on mine.

Tried to swap my R1 with Couchie for 'Mong' but the deal fell through as he doesn't really want an R1.

it's currently up for sale, if it goes, i'll be buying Mong or Glens bike. If not... then no, only as a spanner man.

Not knowing much about it....

How much time is needed to take part in it?

How many rounds are in the series and is it a whole weekend thing, Ie: Practice on Friday, Superpoles on Saturday and race on Sunday?

Or is it, turn up sunday, leather up and race?

You choose what you want to do fella and how much to committ to.

I tend to do the latter of your options as I usually swim on the Saturday night. Turn up Sunday am and race...

Go for it! You wont regret it if you do, you will if you don't !!

8 rounds inc 1 at assen

some arrive on the day ..others the night b4..depends on location i guess

echoe above comments....the DD paddock and the racing is a brilliant place to be and im sure being the competative man you are will really enjoy the racing..........
