OK, so now that makes sense ;)

2+2 and all that :P

Don't you guys fancy running a Ducati?

I'm sure Yeti's old clonker would be good at Snett :lol:

Maybe this could be a DSC Entry? Good for the club, bit of extra exposure, get a Ducati out on the grid (big twin class is easier too).

Someone here must have a bike they'd loan you.

People can chip in some pennies, and we all come along and cheer you guys on?

Maybe? :puzzled::)

Have you considered renting a bike from Louigi? :eureka:

A Ducati would be great - but would be potentially very expensive. There's a good reason why there's none running in Endurance racing!!! ;)

Rattler 29-Apr-2006 23:34

Oh yeh - I'm getting really excited about doing this. :roll::roll::roll::roll:

If there's a decent price on the K1 we might be interested - we're gonna need a lot of spares though ;)

See you there boys... I'll be with Portsmouth Yamaha :)

There's some very fast, and some very slow riders in the series - At Brands a couple of weeks ago there were many struggling to get below 1 minute on a nice sunny day, so you guys shouldn't come last by any means.

Don't overlook one thing - For the KRC series you'll need to provide a marshal for the day.

Thanks Nick :D I figured we had to after reading some of the message boards last night.

We'd love to run a Ducati if someone was kind enough to lend us one. The thing to remember here is that it needs to stand up to 8 hours of being caned by me, Tim and Ali! So it can't really be in a high state of tune - also because when we hand it back we'd have to hand it back with a healthy bit of wedge for a top end rebuild!

Having said that, if someone offered us a Ducati and we could swing it somehow it's game on!

Well, John hasn't offered but I would imagine that it would be in too high a state of tune?

I've e-mailed the chairman so we'll see what comes back.

We certainly hope so mate, otherwise we're going to struggle. Unless we can rent one cheap enough to make it viable for us.

That's an excellent idea. If we want something for the DSC we'd be happy to run club colours or just generally be a focus point for the club.

We'd be very appreciative of any assistance you could offer Dom.

We didn't actually - do you know how much it would be? Also, would he maintain it during the race?!

Hrmm ...

It's important to remember though, all three of us are tarts so we'll race anything nearly but it has to be able to last 8 hours of continual abuse!
