A qualified yes, pretty much as the comments above.

It adds something to the Club but I'd say the jury is still out on whether the pros outweigh the cons.

In some respects it still fulfills its orginal aim to facilitate members entry in to racing but as the level rises and it all becomes a bit more serious the aggro level rises as well it would seem.

Ray.

I put 'dont care' as I think it has damaged the clubs image and taken over its business too much, though I do enjoy watching racing.
My membership is up soon,I cant think of any good reason to continue it,I joined the Dsc shortly after it was formed,it was a good way of getting to know other Ducati owners,now its main concern seems to be DD,given that I may very well be the last member left in Scotland it seems that the north has voted with its feet on this.

I think John was commenting in a light hearted way on Dave's suggestion that he was the last Scottish member.

I didn't read it that way either Ian,it would seem the Dsc MT doesn't care if has any members left in the regions.
Time to stop calling itself a national club then.

Yes for me - Been to three meetings, and really enjoyed the racing (both DD and other) and the paddock atmosphere.

Not a member of the DSC anymore because; 1 too much back stabbing.2 seen the light and bought a gsxr 750.

but I do still follow the dd racing and i am very disapointed in how its going off the track.

It seems as there are to many people with opinions, there also seems to be a RC who do not listen to the Riders who's opinions are important !

just my 2p worth!

Oh it's not just the Rc who are unable to listen it has stuck me in the pastr that certain members of the MT also suffer from denial !
