Doesn't a DD ride automatically place you in the fast group???

very interesting all this talk about groups. as far as im concerned it should be about lap times not about ability. just because you are on a race bike doesnt mean you should automatically be in the fast group. dd bikes have 60bhp if you are up against someone on a 130+ bhp bike you are going to struggle on most tracks. i was in the fast at brands on friday and was getting wasted by everyone. ok some of that was because im not that quick, but for me,inters makes much more sense in that you can have a few tussles with people and have some practice trying to pass other where as in fast i was just riding round on my own other that when someone blew past me.

I agree with Dickie. No one should be pressuring anyone to move into the fast group just because they're DD racing. It's completely irrelevant. This is meant to be a fun day out, riding in a group you're comfortable in. Other people's perception of one's riding skills have got absolutely nothing to do with one's own choice of group.

Well I volunteered to move up to fast <gulp> and I'll be there on the monster.

As we found at Brands, you can hold good cornerspeed on it, I'll just be a bit of a mobile chicane once the bigger bikes can open her up.

although no one is out there racing on a trackday, i had loads more fun when we had our little tussle in inters (where i came 2nd - this time!) than i did in the fast group getting blown away all session.

Were you there? Do you know what happened? Do you know how the overtakes took place?

No.

Dude, you're a nice guy but sometimes you really need to think about things a bit more before you let loose on the keyboard!

who mentioned racing overtakes?

the only person who came too close on any of my sessions was the clown on the R1 who hit me.

bradders 29-Mar-2005 12:35

my call to Nick was based on ability, I think he is fast enough and will have more fun there than with slower riders....and I think if I was racing I would not go in the fast, cause I aint that fast, so wouldnt expect others to...
