personally i loved the way my arse looked in leathers, and then everything else comes a close second

seriously, cost mainly but then i found the paddock to be very friendly which was an added bonus bein new. I am sad not to be on the track this season, but needs must for the minute and you ain't got rid of me just yet!

When Harrie decided to have a go I said I'd help her out with a few bits and pieces....then I went along to her test days and next thing I knew I was at Cadwell in 07 to see how she got on, and Douglas and I ended up straightening her Monster's frame with a scaffold pole.....couple that with getting 27 ppl in my van to go to the Chinese in Louth....well, I decided to have a go myself......so I did....

For me in 2007, it was because of the tyre rule.....
Which made the season racing a lot cheaper for me?

This was the only class that I’ll could really afford to do if I’ll wanted to do the whole season.

The only downside for me it was on a ducati...but after the season the bike was great, never let me down once........

And the DD boys and girls were really friendly...


hopefully, see year will pop up and see you lot out there!!

I started riding a bike again in late 2006 after a 24 years gap and I wanted to learn more and more...I did a track day in 2007: wow

I then found out about DD and I thought that this would be the best way to learn sport riding on track. 2008 was my first season in class B and I have learned lots. I finished all races I entered and I was not always last.

It is one of the most exhilarating experiences, not cheap though. Bike, gear, van, race entries ££££...No regrets though and I look forward to race in 2009 with a revamped and hopefully reliable bike.

The only thing I won't do again is to convert a road bike into a racer. To buy a DD ready bike is the best and least expensive option for people like me with little mechanical skills.
