Tried to swap my R1 with Couchie for 'Mong' but the deal fell through as he doesn't really want an R1.

it's currently up for sale, if it goes, i'll be buying Mong or Glens bike. If not... then no, only as a spanner man.

Not knowing much about it....

How much time is needed to take part in it?

How many rounds are in the series and is it a whole weekend thing, Ie: Practice on Friday, Superpoles on Saturday and race on Sunday?

Or is it, turn up sunday, leather up and race?

You choose what you want to do fella and how much to committ to.

I tend to do the latter of your options as I usually swim on the Saturday night. Turn up Sunday am and race...

Go for it! You wont regret it if you do, you will if you don't !!

Qually in the morning followed by 2 races in the day

8 rounds inc 1 at assen

some arrive on the day ..others the night b4..depends on location i guess

echoe above comments....the DD paddock and the racing is a brilliant place to be and im sure being the competative man you are will really enjoy the racing..........

if i can help in anyway just ask

No reason not to do it...I think. If you've got the time and the desire...

Learn a lot about riding on track, push your personal limits, share experiences with like minded people.....

Its as cheap or expensive as you want to make it, I ran a 583 all year on 1 set of tyres and 1 oil change, you can enter just the DD races or other classes at the race days.

It's all good, contrary to waht you may read sometimes.

i have developed as a ride, more this year than what i ever had. iv pushed my little 583 to its limits and some times a bit to far. when you race on a weekend and you know your on the limit of your bike and you got a few of your friends around you doing the same thing its amazing. come join in mate everyone is fantastic and you lean so much i know i have this year and i think im about 10 sec a lap faster than what i used to be on trackdays

Time to change you mood cleggy, you got "that top three finish" and from my recollection it was a pretty popular result with the rest of the paddock after your season long efforts.

John seems to have given you a gool old "yeeeehaaaa"

Well done mate and to all the rest who have made it a cracking season !!!!

Oh and don't drink all that wine at once
