Thank god that there's no polictics in the paddock..... apart from a bit of cheating


What you might think about is that rideouts are a particular favorite of some people and "their" backbone in Club terms. Ok for me I choose not too ride in company of groups on the road, that is my perogative - I would have loved to have been out on one of my singles this weekend enjoyiong the roads of Sussex and Hampshire - but for the sake of the 55+ guys who are coming down to do the Mini Giro I have to spend the weekend in the car, as clerk of the course, so that they can enjoy themselves.

I am not clear what you might mean by "key members of the Club" leaving - no one has been declined a renewal in the last 18 months - people choose to renew or not according to their own preferance. Your comments are inflamatory and un-needed.

Your referance to cheating within DD is spurious and again inflamatory- if you are aware that one of the bikes is outside of the rules, then the rules of the series are clear - you should put your money down and put in a protest. If your protest is upheld then you will have made your point and helped to keep the series clean. By inferring all you do is stir up ill feeling based of rumour, inuendo and assertion without making a valid point!

This is what you get from being a member of DSC :confused:

Can i have my £20 membership back please ?

So, out of interest, what is the cheating that is going on and who is doing it?

There is always rumors of cheating usually without any substance;)

So, Imola Duke, your point is?

As far as I can see you made an allegation about cheating in DD, maybe in jest, with your tongue in cheek or whatever

A person who just happens to be a member of the MT picks you up on it, regards that statement as inflammatory, and points you at the protest procedure. Maybe over reacting to your statement or whatever.

It seems to me that the whole episode is a fairly minor spat between two individuals.

I'm puzzled why you choose to entitle your post 'The MT'. Are you holding us all collectively responsible, and answerable, for the personal views of an individual MT member?

I'm confused about the point you are trying to make.

I don't understand the post, have I missed something? Is this your thoughts or a quote of a post from CB?

I'm confused why the OTT response to my post about cheating in DD with :lol: after my joke about the lack of polictics in the paddock!!

Yes i was at the park ferme at CC when riders were using ZR diablos
Also a rider using Rosso's at another circuit.......
All said in jest and with fun which is sadly missing on here .......
Thank God the paddock is fun fun fun :)

Your humour wasn't wasted on me Steve
I hope I took it as it was meant, but thats probably because I know you from within the DD paddock

Thats the difference Kev, You know me as a person ;)

Fair enough. No sense of humour failure here.

I was just confused about whether you were calling for MT action on this from the thread title.
