Well after watching all the races last year all I got to say is bring it on .Hopefully the bikes will all be on a equal parr this time ,some thing I feel was not so last year. GS brings a good amount of talent and experiance to the DD track that can only help fellow riders and as seen in the passed only to pleased to help . As for the pleeps watching the racing,it dont all ways matter whos where or who's who so long as we see every one enjoying there "own" race. As I see it they are all WINNERS 4D

glad someone said that

Im just pleased your not racing this year,I dont think I could stand the pressure. :D

Why ? it's not different to people sitting here discussing Rossi ? or whether Bayliss can do it in WSB, or whether Felix was going to stuff me at Dony park, it's all exactly the same.

By putting yourself in the public eye and joining a race series, it's instantly putting yourself up for discussion.

No-one has said a thing out of order in this thread.

DISCUSSION FORUM...

As you're here Geoff, is this a problem ? if it is, i'll delete it.

Its not a problem to me. I hope everyone has raised their game for 2006 including me. I wouldn't have entered DD again this year if i didn't think the competition would be good. I will also be entering super club S.O.T.

Yes go for it what have you got to loose.
Send Andy my best wishes.

Geoff

He still wants to try a trackday soon - you flippin racers eh? - its too bloody cold for me at this time of the year!

ps: do they do one piece leathers in hippo size?:o:pig:

I got a feeling I won't me beating the boggyman this year, but my claim to fame was leading him until turn 2 (cadwell, round 6) in both races!

Next time geoff, just try'n stay behind long enough for it to register on the timesheet would you!!!

And CK... get yer flippin' licence and come play!

Sorry John, that's wrong on so many levels and this year I'll prove it :borg:

Yes of course you will....dream on....if you win a scheduled proper DD race in 2007 I'll give you £100 mate;)

Now that's not to say anyone can't improve, of course they can, I'd like to think I could win a decent race one day. I won a CB500 race and had plenty of second places and got a third on Montys TZ once, but if I do step up to Superclub 600's as is sort of my weak-willed plan for 2007, I am 10 seconds a lap behind the winner and in all honesty if I gave up my job and spent all year on the one track, I still wouldn't make up 10 seconds. We can't all win, simple as that.

All I'm saying is be real about your goals, sure 'dare to dream', 'reach for the stars and you might just hit the moon', but if one sets oneself up for achieving things that are beyond us, then we're going to live an unfulfilled life. Just my personal realistic outlook on life.

If you're totally crap and just started out, sure, you have a chance of knocking big chunks off your times and move up the field. In my first ever race I was 16th out of about 25 and by the end of the season I got a second place and very nearly won (I didn't know I was leading the race:mad:). However, my thoery is that once you get to a level, you are pretty much where you will always be, so me gaining so many places ina year is one thing, but then the following year, my times were all pretty much the same.

Take Jerez this year. Best I've done is a 2.04 on my old 748 three years ago. Not bad for a standerd 748E, then last year I had my new 600RR, but only manged a 2.05 as it was my first timeon it and I didn't push it as it was so shiney and I'd spent a lot of cash on it. This year I was seriously going for a sub 2 minute, but the weather and my mood were not up to it. Then some bloke did a 1.53 on a 600RR.....I'm simply not in the same league and never will be.

I think anyone can beat Geoff if they believe they are good enough & have the bike & the backing & don't think it's a done deal before they they start.
