    Very tempted to do this instead of Brands the day after. Only thing is I'm not keen on going with Focused Events going by what I've read and been told first hand from mates. I love Donny, ridden it twice this year at the race school

    I ve done Donny loads of times.....focused are ok ish I guess...... never really had any problems.... strict on noise but if you want to sound like a GP star... stay at home and rev the balls off with no baffle I say !

    I guess it also comes down to the tracks themselves who provide the marshals and maintain the rules. I'd say my biggest fear is the one or two idiots who are intent on getting past no matter what without respect for others

    Fair point, I'm just being a big wuss!

    Yes I'm coming :) Just agreed with the Missus that she'll kindly drive me up with the bike and tools etc in her horse box... Yes, I know... But, it saves me riding 2 1/2 hours to get there!

    What group is everyone in? I'm torn between inters and experienced

    Yeah i re-read the posts above and saw you're in inters 1. I think I'll at least start in inters, then look to move up a group if necessary. I'm riding an HRC 2012 blade. Definitely should meet up on the day! What are you riding?

    Oh wow, that's a proper track weapon!! Gorgeous looking blade there mate! I'll feel inadequate on my road-going machine... Might have to make the effort to remove the mirrors now having seen your bike!!

    nothing better than a high performance engine between your legs hey rob - all hail the blade, best thing you can do with your pants on.

    by the way, any time the love of your life wants to take a aussie holiday - i can find a wee space in my lounge room for her.
