Shame you didn't heed your own advice and keep it shiny side up. Congrats on Pole but looks like your outing at Brands went pear shaped from there!
How bad is the bike

Cheers Kev.
Yeah p1ss poor all round weekend for everyone. Crash was flat on entry to Paddock hill. Did nowt different than before it just sometimes happens you know that. Crash tooks all the fairings off, tank off, levers, bars, reservoirs, battery. Managed to get it some bit like for race 2 but it stalled on the warm up lap then spit the dummy out all together.
Angry got took out in his first race and crashed in the second with a throttle problem.
And DD got cancelled
If the hottrax grid was full enough at Snett I will probably do the Oulton round of Supercup. Either way I will see you there.

Its great to see ex DD guys running at the front of other series no matter what club, Sam's done it, your doing it and hopefully Andy will be doing it soon. As it shows that DD is a good grounding for anyone wanting to go racing especially if they are on a low budget/self funded

I'm also hoping Dallas will be able to get in amongst the top guys in MotoGrande once he's got his Blade sorted and dialled in

Absolutely. DD should be made compulsary for all new racers.

I wonder how many seasoned racers look back at there first club with the same warmth that DD creates?

I do,
which is one of the reasons I got involved, so others could experience the same sort of thing

back then the biggest bike you could start on as a novice was a 600 which were mainly around 90 rwbhp and with Airfields as our main race venues with hardly any facilities we soon learnt to make new friendships
