DD 2006 Are u mentally ready

Just read a post and it was suggested racing is 90% in the mind..i agree you have to have the right mental attitude on race day if you want to do your best..........

Who is ready and fired up for DD 2006..............It cant come soon enough for me.....

Forget the bike prep..are you mentally ready do you have a game plan set.?................

Do you have your goals set and ready to acheive them..?

Yep, couldn't be more ready.
Got me little 583 warmed up and ready to roll, done lots of (legal!) stuff to her and she's looking like one of the hottest bikes on the grid!
Confidence is high and Cadwell is the first race

The rider needs just as much prep as the bike, probably more so. The human performance side of all sports is a science in itself.

Body and mind need to be prepped or you can be beat before you set wheel on the track.

In some respects it's the cheapest way to improve your results.

Unless anyone in the series has an extra pair of arms/legs or two heads you all start with the same basics bits to race the bike!

Not ready at all.
Still fat.
Still wondering how I can achieve any result without taking too many risks

Mentally well up for it at the moment. The more I think about it the more I just want to get stuck in and prove to myself that I can do as well as anybody else. Lets get started

Not ready mentally or physically, but don't suppose that'll have much impact on my lap times.

Think I need to lay some ghosts to rest at Cadwell, and then get fit for Brands/Assen.
