If people didn't start vicious, unfounded rumours in the first place, none of this would happen.

It's not good for the club, it's made us look pr@ts imo. All it's served to do is bring us, as riders/sponsors closer together in supporting a fellow racer who we all believe has been riding a perfectly legal bike all season. I'd be shocked if anyone was cheating this year, it seems so morally wrong to do that, especially as we're all mates out there. As for last year, well we weren't there, so can't really comment.

Agree with you Grib - All along no matter how much rubbish is getting thrown around the one thing thats always been excellent is the RIDERS.
Its about time the club took a good look at itself.

Well, having (at last) found out how to ride fast enough to get close to the front bunch, I know that most of the 620's are doing similar top speeds, DEPENDING ON GEARING cos snet was great for that. The thing that made the big difference was the corner exit speed, as griff on his 583 showed me by stuffing me on the inside at sears (more than once) with so much more corner entry speed and also getting the power down so much sooner than me that even tho my bike was faster than his, he still made it to the braking point under the bridge sooner than me, and then braked less there too !
We have a number of VERY good racers in DD now, and lots of them have set up their bikes REALLY well so they can carry corner speed confidently and make clunky old air-cooled engines (even 583s !) perform to their best. Spectating must be really good now, but trust me, mixing in with them is absolutely mint.
Respect :biaggi:

I just wish they would all publish all their set up details :(

Does that mean the series winner will need to have their bike pulled apart every year? Just so there's no sniping and disputes you see.....

Depends on whether or not people want to keep calling the series leader a cheat, I presume?

I reckon they should be forced to sell it actually.






Oh, they do anyway, dont they :lol:

So who did then?

Coz Antony didn't.

Anyone care to own up?

I'm not going to flame you Monty. We had a good chat on Saturday and I felt progress was made. However I was a bit disappointed how my bike then got stripped for the very reasons that you had been talking about over lunch.

Can you imagine how fast we'll be with a full system, power commander, blue printed engine and revalved forks?!

Our bike only has a K&N filter and slip on cans - thats it!!

Anyway, we won and the RC lost - on several levels!

Is there anyone on the MT that can remember to bring trophies to race meetings? It seems like a hard one to master!!

"People" keep being mentioned. I'd be interested to know who the people calling Domski a cheat were.

I'm reasonably new to the paddock and still in the process of meeting everyone, but no rumour ever reached my ears. Maybe I'm just too new.

Perhaps it'll just stir up trouble, I hope not, but if there were people genuinely concerned about the legality of Dom's bike I'd like to see them raise their hand to say they're happily proved wrong.

I have geoffs 620ss winning bike from 2005....do u want me to strip it now then.?....

I will say that I didn't believe that Dom's bike was legal because he was just so damn quick on it that he must be superhuman to ride it that fast.

The protest came as a culmination of paddock rumours. I am not going to provide a list of names of those who felt the same way - it is for them to stand up and be counted should they wish to. I know who they are, they know who they are too. I'm sure that there are more who I have not spoken to who also thought the same.

However, I have been proven wrong and I am truely happy to have been proven wrong - no matter what anyone thinks the motive was. Maybe the method was not the best/nicest way of having to do that but it was the ONLY way for it to happen.
