very well put, and a wonderful vision of someone standing in two boats whilst peeing in another is now indelibly engraved in my head!! Also the point chris made about the apples doesn't work for me as tesco do sell to lots of people lots of apples, but they don't work for sainsbury's either!

So are you in DD or Maxis thingy????

I think we need a reality check.

We're talking about social minded people racing bikes that are the wrong side of a decade old here. Nobody on the DD grid is out there to impress a BSB team, we're there to enjoy racing in possibly it's cheapest form and the people involved in ensuring we get to do that are doing a f3cking good job of it. FFS we'll be at a BSB meeting at one of the best tracks around with the long shot of being on tele and a couple of weeks later we'll be at the new British F1 track! That's like a pub football team playing at Old Trafford before a Champions League game, going to Stamford Bridge shortly after and then continuing the rest of the season playing at the other premier league grounds!

In the grand scheme of racing things, we the DSC DDers, are f3ck all and shouldn't really be going to the tracks we do, but decent grids, great people with the right connections and drive mean that we can, let's be grateful for what we've got before moaning about not getting to Assen and the likes. If we all had the cash then we'd do Assen every year, every track day and every round of the championship but DD is primerily about not using vast amounts of the stuff.

If people have the finances and want to start a new championship well let them, if this 848 thingy is backed by Ducati then whoopee bloody doo they'll have bigger trophies than us but will they have the craic we will? I doubt it. Admittedley it sounds a great series to be racing in and I've heard it's £500 to enter then each round is only £140 but will Ryanair take your 10grand 848 to Italy or Clogland for a tenner? I doubt that too. In 10 years time there will be another new championship launched with the lastest machines being entered and the 848 people (if it's still going) will be pulling their faces as some of us are doing now so let's just keep enjoying what we're doing and let others try and be as good as us.

Just for the record my favourite apples are pink ladies and Adsa, Tesco and Sainsbury's all sell them.

DD to 848 -
"you've got no history" "you've got no history" "you've got no history" "you've got no history" "you've got no history" "you've got no history" "you've got no history" "you've got no history" "you've got no history" "you've got no history" "you've got no history" "you've got no history" "you've got no history" "you've got no history" "you've got no history" "you've got no history" "you've got no history" "you've got no history" "you've got no history" "you've got no history" "you've got no history" "you've got no history" "you've got no history" "you've got no history" "you've got no history" "you've got no history" "you've got no history" "you've got no history" "you've got no history" "you've got no history"

Hahaha, oh yeh it's great for the whine lovers, my first year on track and the off circuit banter is as good as the racing.

An cheers by the way, it's like stopping a fight in a kid's playground by quoting Socrates. The message gets across but not understood and then they set off at each other again. FAF.
