To Brands or not to Brands?
 

Got up pi..ing down had a shower got the leathers on, getting heavier.

Coffee and toast out to the garage, 999s starts first time this is good!

Trundle off down the coast road pick up the A21, can't see a bloody thing, iridium visor and rain might be it!

I getting soaked on my own just don't need the extra from oncoming cars, then all of a sudden nothing no power!

Get to roadside nowhere to shelter ring breakdown One hour later he turns up... you've got electrical problems! Brilliant.. got bike back to house

Sopping wet now, coffee in hand off to have a shower to warm up £200 lighter no track day it would have been my first and a knackered bike BRILLIANT DAY still I've had better:(

That's hard luck Neil, a ducati with electrical problems surely some mistake!!
I'm going to brands tomorrow for the Minimoto with dan again are you thinking of going with Owen. Hope you get the bike fixed OK,maybe see you tomorrow.

Lucky didnt happen half way round Paddock Neil, but seriously, that is utter **** luck mate!

bad luck:(

and I know you dont want to hear this, but it was dry at Brands - even some sun out - (at least untill I left at 3.45) - but drove home thru some rather heavy rain tho - and even hailstones the size of big marbles!!:o

From all accounts, the DSC have kept the shiny side up today, with much swapping of groups for some.
Hope the day finished as well as it started.

Also hope your bike gets sorted out quikly

Many thanks for kind thoughts folks.

What a bloody expensive day off work though, £12k worth of Italian exotica that doesn't work!

£200 for a trackday that I never got to.

£8 for petrol of which about 45p used.

Just looking at the other posts containing photos just pis..s me off even more, I was looking forward in a strange way to breaking my trackday virginity on the GP circuit

I've still got the hump today!!!!!!!!
