Some off us seem to be too carried away with the competition aspect and the red mist descends as soon as the lights go out.
Now i do understand that we as a species like to have a pecking order and that always will result in one upmanship/ competitive feelings, but the spirit of DD is all about the love of the bikes and having fun with friends. lets not take the competition part too far, please?
cheers ross

its called racing mate if you wont to ride around and have fun come on our rideouts

I've known Steve for just over a year now, he would not know how to do a bad turn to anyone. One of lifes genuine people.

Thanks to Chris P for setting up my rear shock
I spent to long in the 2m lap times and with Chris's set up i
managed a 1m 56.5
So big improvements to the bike on a budget.......

I also had some great feedback from Harriet about my bike and things which need attention.

I would give my bike up to any of the top riders to keep the championship close and alive and i guess others would do the same.

It's amazing in the paddock when someone is in trouble how everyone mucks
in to get them back on track.

BTW can we have trophies for the over 40's in class A and B

Very embarrassed
Steve

I was totally unaware that this had occurred, so great skills on the paddock cameraderie , Steve !

As for Chris P, it's fair to say that I wouldn't have done half as well as I have this year if it weren't for his preparation and attention to detail. We've struggled to find the right direction with set up in the mid part of the season, but I think we're 90% there now and as much as it feels like Andy's name is on the trophy, I think Cadwell showed we haven't given up on the idea of being No 1 just yet!

Over 40's trophies...hey, I'll be eligible for those soon...but the I guess the majority of the DD field would be too! LOL!
