DD at the TT
 
What about a Manx/TT DD only race or parade lap.

I was asked by my mates dad yesterday when was I going to do the Manx, but with more and more friends getting injured or worse over there its a little off putting.
But we have discussed going to ireland and doing the Skerries and Killguest1 ( http://www.loughshinnymotorcycleclub.com/ ) and taking on Liam and his SV650.
At least the free entries would help offset the travel costs

A parade lap would be good, who knows how we would arrange/organise that tho.
Always wanted to do the manx but not sure I would now altho doing it on the DD bike would be good :)

Racing in Ireland
 
Preston and District motorcycle club regularly receive entries from Ireland and are in the process of organising a reciprical deal for 2007. They also run a class for 350cc - 750cc bikes (no supersports). Drink real Guiness and race bikes. oooh.

I wouldn't mind a parade lap, but don't fancy a full on race there. A few too many walls and stuff for my liking :)

As DD has no History associated with the Island the there is very little chance of a parade lap for DD bikes.

I may take my R6 back to the Island one year for a Parade lap as it finished 21st in the Junior TT and 24th in the Proddy 600 in 2003.

Not sure my Class B bike would enjoy the climb out of Ramsey and up Snaefell and for most of the circuit I would prefer to have a pair of properly set up adjustable modern forks in the front if trying to ride it at any real speed.
