So long...........
 
...........and thanks for all the fish!*

A 4th and a 6th may not have been as good as my first (and only!) win back in 2006 at Castle Combe but I had two good races to finish the season and my DD career.

Thanks to Neil for being a gent and allowing me to complete a finely-judged pass under braking into the last chicane in race 1 :eek: , and to Dallas for using his race 1 winnings to pay the marshals to wave yellow flags in race 2 to stop me doing it to him :lol:

It's been great racing, drinking and taking the pi88 with you all over the years and hopefully I'll get to some meetings next year.

Depending on the interest in Class A for next year, I'll either be breaking or selling the bike so I may be back on here again later.

Bye for now

Paul

* From the late Douglas Adams for all you under 40s in DD.....

Paul, the pleasure was all mine mate and I needed the wake up call. :D
Deffo out for me now after Oulton but I reckon I'll see you out there next year (from the paddock though).

Never say never. :)

I thought you already had A bike. :D

Shall miss you Paul, winter is long so I have also to make a decision, Alan is retiring so that puts me back to the oldest gerryhatrick. :eek:

sorry not to see you on the track next year Paul. Not that I saw you very well this year :rolleyes: . I do hope you get into the paddock to encourage those doing next year.

Indestructable and always a smile.

Been a pleasure to share a track with you in days of yore, Paul. :)

ha ha no, more like a C one next to yours ;) :p

agree with the sentiment, and who knows maybe Mr Payne will occasionally make an appearance ;)

Been good racing with you Paul, although I did see far more of you when I was on a 583.
Tim's discription says it all
Some unforgetable DD moments including the re-shaped tank at Donington, the re-shaped bike and aerobatics at Druids and the WIN at Castle Combe to name a few

You'll be sadly missed Paul, always a smile whenever we come to watch you racing.

What you gonna do with all those forks now!!

Andy
