How did today go ??

Good weather and surprisingly warm, the sun even peeped through a few times.

About 15 or so Ducatis spread over three groups, including some very trick 999s and 996/8s

One 999r appeared to have a rear sprocket/ hub failure but couldn't tell if that was cause or effect.

Quite a few red flags due to red mists and maybe cold tyres. One by an R1 whose rider left the radiator cap off:eek:

Throughly enjoyed myself on the old CBR6, once I'd got the hang of being in the right ratio for each corner, it doesn't matter so much on the 998:lol: Just need to learn to hang off a bit now.

A mate lent me some tyre warmers in the afternoon, used to be sceptical about their use but it does make you feel more confident earlier in a session and does seem to stop the tyre "cold tearing" easy to use on the CBR6 with a centre stand:D

There was an orginal GT40 doing a few laps at lunch time to keep everyone entertained.

Not sure if there were any other DSCers there.

Ray.
