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.

In that case Dave will you turn out the lights when(if?) you leave.....

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.

Yes for me too, BUT, I do not want to hear about how good individuals believe themselves to be or otherwise. I do not want to read about self promotion etc. I just want to read an un-biased race report, which on many occasions I have had the chance to do so, just before me, me, me, gets posted.

Foggy was one of the best riders ever to climb on-board a Ducati? He produced excellent results? BUT, got so big headed he is almost an outcast in the paddock now and his memory has faded very quickly?

He still feels the need to promote himself and even slates other riders in the process, something any true sportsman would not do.

An unsung hero is often respected more and remembered longer after one who shouts it from the rooftops at every and any opportunity?

My thoughts:

It's the IDGAS option for me!

Although I've been to a couple of meetings and enjoyed it.

Just seems a bit of a black hole, sucking everything else in.

The modification to the Today's Posts thing is a good idea.

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 !
