Genuinely a sad day Ian.
It's been a pleasure watching you on track and learning that smooth = fast, and that podium finishes don't need to acheived through dangerous moves and bullying tactics. I'm sure thunderbikes will be a technical joy and push you hard into using DD cornerspeed techiques with a few extra bhp.
Can't say I'm not seriously, seriously tempted but don't think I can stump up the budget between now and spring.
Have fun and don't forget to say hi to us lowly DDers in the paddock.
Keep it upright.
