RC Job Vacancy
 

Requirements

Qualified rule writer (anybody involved with the original rules that thought a Carb'd 675 would compete with a 620 need not apply)
Good Technical Understanding of Ducati Motorcycles
Good Understanding of the History of the Desmo Due Series
Thick Skin (As I see it this is where I fail)
A degree of fairness in decision making
Ability to work well with others (Most importantly Trudi)
Must be able to do a better job than the previous occupant of this post so as to keep everybody happy

Hours of work
You will be surprised

Rewards
Very little unless you count winging

Bonuses
None that I know of.

Now who should we have on the interview panel

Sorry to see you leave this postion Kev. Whoever steps in will have big boots to fill. You've been a great bonus to the DSC desmodue management team and to bikesport in general. I guess we will see you on track and in the Scrutineers shed for years to come.

+one.

You do your self an injustice there kev.

Good luck in finding a replacment, it will not be easy.


Chris:burn:

Rather than jack it (if you enjoy it still other than the winging) maybe a slight restructure would work; have someone else field the **** and you do the techy side

And agree with Chris, you've had a go which is more than most

You can't keep all the people happy all the time. We all like whinging but when it comes down to it you have done a damn good job.

So why did I wake up yesterday morning to a post on facebook saying and I quote

"but yes i think the rules do need looking at and have less open to interpretation with someone qualified to rewrite them! "

Obviously not doing a good enough job dispite the amount of hours put in over the years

Ignore them

kev i know all the hard work and the hours of research you put into it m8 why dont you do the tech stuff let me handle all the **** stuff im thick skinned and got a good right hook as you know ill bang there heads togeather and sort them out

Far be it for me to say but iv'e been following dd for a few years now and reading posts on this site and it suprise's me that what kev & trudi do to keep dd up and running in there own time is huge. Over the winter everybody has redeveloped there bike's and they are all great but poor kev has took a slaughtering over what's aloud why can't you do it this way and i'm suprised he has lasted this long. Come on guys some of you have forgoten the fun bit. Welldone skids I couldn't have lasted aslong as you have and I dont see a que of people wanting to take your place. Well thats my thoughts anyway:-)

Sounds like an excellent solution.

Any problems take iy up with the Kevs.
;)

People should be very careful with what they write on electronic media sites such at FB.

It’s all too easy for a minority to say things that escalate out of control and lead to situations that are not very pleasant and harm the majority. "Be careful what you wish for" springs to mind. I find it quite astonishing that somebody can say such things - and not even to your face - it’s just puerile.

However, I agree with Bradders, ignore them and carry on; DD will suffer if you resign.

The job could be dead easy!

Just dump all the rules & have some fun easy.

I didn't think you bothered with them! :devil:





Only joking Chas - and you know it! :D

On a more serious note - it would be interesting to know what the current bones of contention are?

Along with the Kevs I've been in DD since the beginning and have seen many people try many things to get an advantage.

I don't think that there have been any sustained advantages gained at the front by anything more sinister than a well setup bike with a good rider on good tyres.


All the fancy ECUs, bang-on-the-weight and power limit and trick fork + brake combos are only anything other than a reflection of the size of the wallet if the rider is not as good as another rider.

Like in many fields I think that there is a tendancy for the green-eyed monster, jealousy, to surface - "if I can't afford "X" then it should be banned"

I think it's called Daily Mail Syndrome.............

Absolutely Paul, just ride the fecker like you stole it. :D
