Race number 15 / class B and I've already tried revving it to 14k several times as I missed a gear.

Thumbs up
Sounds pretty much like my first outing, also at Snetterton!
The bikes are certainly an acquired taste but you will learn so much about riding them fast because you can't make up the difference "on the power" like the big bikes.

Also, just because it rains it doesn't mean you're not learning anything. What are you going to do if it rains before your race? Get yourself out there and learn what it feels like in the rain so you are prepared. You might actually enjoy it and have an advantage over the other riders.


I'd rather die peacefully in my sleep like my Grandfather,
than screaming in terror like his passengers.- Jim Harkins

Andy has fallen under the influence of us Monday night H-Cafe regulars and decided to swap european trackdays for a crack at DD. He's going to love it
