NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: :lol:
Let's ignore those moaners, protesters and other angry people who seem to hate us so much just because we enjoy ourselves.
The DD spirit is much stronger than that, just look at all those racers, bike owners and fans supporting DOMinatorSki and Chass when they need it. That's the DD spirit, not the few people writing they're fed up with DD in the DD forum.
So just to make you smile a bit, I let you guess what's the most suitable thing I've found in my shed (obviously I'll have to shorten it a bit :lol: ) to make some spacers for my new "too short" fork springs :D

FAO Zimbo: mate I'll buy your springs if I manage to put my forks back together.
I like you Tonio, you make me laugh :lol:
The DD riders have fantastic spirit and are closer than ever.
It's just that we're further than ever from the RC now too.
Strange how some things work out isn't it!
Nice footpegs btw ;)

The DD spirit and passion is alive and well in the RIDERS paddock - even more so than before I think.

They vary Chass - I made sure I stopped over in Dubai this time - very nicccccccce :D
See you at Cadders :)
Really very lovely shade of purple Tonio.
Remember I have some of those beautifully coloured parts on my bike too.........just that it's only two bolts holding on my bellypan that no one can see.
That purple will do wonderful things for your eyes.

I agree, the DD spirit is as strong as ever, it's just that serious gaps are opening up between the riders and rthe race comittee. I have no doubt that things will be resolved and that DD will go into next year as strong as ever.
Tonio - good luck with the springs, if they don't work for you just return them but I reckon they should do the business for you. Nice bit of anodising by the way, and purple suits you! :)
Tonio you might just need to cut them down a bit unless you are going for the girder fork theme, some things can be too hard you know:rolleyes: :p :lol:

I'm assuming the RC is comprised of DD racers is it not?

.. two rider reps, Rattler and Skids and two MT, CB and PJ. Rattler says he knew nothing about the 'encouragement' given to Antony.
Nope. The RC is paul james and chris bushell, then 2 riders reps.
Antoine, I hope you're right... let's make sure this incident makes the riders stronger, let's hope it discourages anyone to DARE to cheat, let's hope we can all stay friends in the paddock.
Can't wait for Cadwell now!

i think the spirit is stronger than ever but the RC seem to be reluctant to use help offered to them and do seem to have a personal vendeta against dom.
quite why the RC would have got involved with a protest is beyond me, if a rider wants to lodge a protest then they lodge it, there should be no need for the RC to help/persuade/encourage etc. really interested to see who 'sponsored' this protest. i sincerely hope it wasnt from where i think it was.
... not wanting to be contentious ...

no its not........................
its a roundabout of Chris Bushell, Paul James and Monty....!!...with tim and kev thrown in to appease the natives ...!
who is on the RC now is anyones guess........
CB i think

DD spirit is alive and kicking....
I got loads of DD positives during the Snett round, 1 - rebuilding the bike, 2 - rebuilding myself....
The DD 'Racers' will continue to enjoy the racing, everything else will continue to be played out in the background. The 'motives' behind the **** will never be discussed....
Let it go....
move on and have a great race at Cadwell. I get to race the 620 and go 'really fast'!!!

****** off and stick with your 583
IN THE PAST THERE HAS BEEN SOME POLITICAL RAMBLINGS AND THE DD HAS BEEN USED TO PUSH CERTAIN AGENDA'S.......
MY FEAR NOW IS THAT AFTER THIS " AFFAIR " AT SNETTERTON ALL THAT HAS BEEN ACHEIVED IS TO FURTHER DRIVE A WEDGE BETWEEN THE RIDERS AND THE RC AND MORE IMPORTANTLY GIVEN THE " POLITICIANS" OF THE DSC/DD MORE FUEL TO ADD TO THE FIRE............................
The dd is about the riders/the support crew and all those that want and support the DD.............nothing else.........
We need to gel together as the DD and push for a better DD....the recent survey is a real attempt to offer us the riders a chance to frame the series for 2007...lets use it and move forward...........................
If the fighting continues it will be to the detrament of the DD/DSC....
NOW is the time for us all to stick together with one goal...to make the DD what we want.....NOT split apart and drive wedges between the Riders RC and the DSC
Phil
Dont we all just want to race and have fun in the paddock.....!.......
... is strong in these ones :)
Morning Yoda! seen you lift that space ship out the bog. Will give you a call when I need my bike dragged out of a hedge! :-)
out of interest what is the Riders RC?
ps I dont race in DD, never been to watch either, but I think its a good thing we have the series. The fact that it gets written about in the bike mags, raises the profile of the club and that can only be a good thing

I absolutely agree.
There is a lot of emotion going on just now that is nothing to do with the racing.
Lets get back to basics, agree the rules for next year ASAP and keep going forwards :biaggi:
