Yes Agree Thanks to Nog who is only trying to help and get a
good deal for the RIDERS.
Ask Sam West about the tyres

But I have a feeling we will be on H rated diablos at £200 a pair.

It looks like Nog has been made out to look the Bad Boy but all
cast back a year


I do hope that isn't pointing fingers in my direction ?

Where were you when the series was set up?
I would have loved to have been at some DD rounds this season, but I was far too busy deciding where to spend my £62.50 PER WEEK Job Seekers Allowance, as I was OUT OF WORK !!!!!
Let me see, food for the family or blow it on a jolly out ..........

Oh and BTW, I have now built 4 DD bikes, some quite succesfull over the years, and offered advice on many occasions!

But they turned up on the day to try and earn a bit of extra cash and none of the New Era oficials new about it so nothing could be arranged, which is a real pity with the amount of time we were sat around for

I really hoped we would get one at Castle Combe as there was one there when we raced there in 2007 as I paid for a couple of runs that day with my laptop connected to my power commander

Mine isn't knife edged by the way.

Yep polishing and lightening still not allowed and not really in the spirit of DD and the ACU protest procedure is there to be used if anyone thinks a bike is in breach of the rules such as knife edging

Same here, except I'll be using the same tyres! Those were the same ones that were being used in 2007 as well...

I find it funny that someone bringing up the rear is taking pot-shots at others who have poured their life savings into racing in DD since the series began, but because they've not raced in it this year apparently their ideas/thoughts/comments are not valid!

Talk about spitting the dummy...

Wished i entered Donny now as i reckon with my pickup plate in it's original
wrong position I was loosing a few valuable bhp's
As I'm layed up after my op I have been searching stuff about NE and It looks like 2010 will be a good year for them now as many found the grass wasn't greener

Loosen up a bit........... poured my life savings and killed my C Cards over the last 2 seasons.
It's the taking part that counts
