It's a long story but I'm not really a proper novice and certainly no foggy! I tried this DD stuff in 2008, did Oulton Round, finished about mid pack. But when doing a practice at Mallory I got it very wrong at Gerrards and smashed up the bike and shook myself up quite a bit. I then couldn't get the bike fixed in time for the next round so missed a race. Then following round the alternator failed on my van and finally the grid was full at Brands so figured someone was trying to tell me something!!
I then used the bike as a track toy at Brands for the rest of the year, so I know my way around. Also then went on to sell the bike to Jolley so I have known Jolley (and his bike) for a while, so all the banter is a bit of a joke really!
