Is that an axe grinder I can see behind you?

2. Dom is doing much better than last year when he was nowhere - known fact

It's also a known fact that I had a slow bike last year, and my previous form (albeit a few year ago) proves that I am a good racer - or was - and now am again

3. Dom is winning the championship - known fact

Yes I did

Quote:
4. Dom has made comments about 800 camshaft

I've said rude things about the RC too, but nobody has protested - what's your point

Quote:
The point I am making is that it's an easy and understandable conclusion to come to that Dom might be cheating.

Not judging by what's been said on here - and in the paddock, but I can see how you're thinking what you're thinking. You're being sensible again aren't you!

Quote:
It's a crying shame that someone might use this sort of situation to their advantage with an alternative personal agenda motivating them - nonetheless it is easy to see how rumours of cheating can exist.

Uh huh

Are you insulting me again.


Seriously though, with all the feathers flying it is very easy to lose sight of things and rational thought goes out of the window. All I am trying to do is present an alternative view of things.

Dom, just to set one record straight. Geof Spencers bike was legal at 670-the rule was changed later. We were advised by a Ducati expert that there were no big bore 620 kits available and none were likely to become available until this year-didn't stop the Baines brothers from making their own though did it......... Geof offered to reduce the capacity of his bike back to standard if we could come up with some barrels for him, a lot of favours were called in and barrels obtained.
The bottom line is he wasn't cheating so kept his points, you weren't cheating(as I stated earlier having watched on Saturday I never believed you were) and have kept your points and won the championship-so once again well done and well ridden. As I think I said to you at the end of last year it's about time your class showed-well you have shown it all year.

John

Any idea why his bike had hi-comp pistons in then when it was sold?

The difference is, everyone now knows that I didn't have to cheat or spend £000's on my engine to win DD - where as we can only take your word for it that Geoff's bike was legal.

Fact and fiction.

And i know its no faster than Tims, couchies, erics or even woods 620ss...........as we had some ding dongs on the trackday.................!!...................and i have ridden 3 620's now....

but there are doubters still it seems.?
