Good luck all DD'ers for this weekend at Brands

**CK & AK** · 04 Jul 08, 08:15 AM

To everyone out on track this weekend at Brands, please keep it shiny side up - and hope you all have a great time there

Am off later this morning to take the scenic route on my bike (AK can bring my portable bedroom later after he finishes work tonight

) so see some of you later today.

Good luck to all.

added: AK says he is lobbing in all our spare 583 parts and anything else we are now not using into the van, so if anyone has a 'bump' & needs bits he'll try & help - or sell you spares if you want them.

**Ghost** · 04 Jul 08, 09:53 AM

Thanks C, Lin, I'm at work all fired up to get home and loaded and bugger off. can't wait.

**nogaromill999** · 04 Jul 08, 10:31 AM

Yes, cheers Charlotte and Lin.....like Phil, I am fired up as I havent ridden her since my disastrous Assen, so I'm hoping for a more fruitful Brands and some decent points...I lost 5 places by not going to Pembrey.......
And I'll take this opportunity to wish all DD riders and anyone else venturing out on tracks this weekend good luck too.......and stay safe......

I have a pass for tomorrow - hope to get down.

And safe racing!

**harriebird** · 04 Jul 08, 11:58 AM

I'll be heading down tomorrow evening, looking forward to watching the racing but there will be a rather large lump in my throat i think. pastures, new, face, bovvered etc etc etc!!

but yes good luck everyone

**Trevor** · 04 Jul 08, 04:30 PM

hola from sunny Brands!

I popped over yesterday to meet people, say hi and take a few piccies. Above are a contingent from the London branch of the ukmoc who rode out to see the racing.

AK wasn't racing, so he brought something to work on - can't be at a racetrack without tools

Sound of Thunder were there too:

This one is a 916 with a 999 engine

not sure what this is, but its got a 998 engine

this one is really interesting - a 916 with 1098 engine and other bits.

The exhaust pipes are from a 999 with AK cans on

built in a guys garage. Hats off mate!

Off to race:

These are all taken at the top of Paddock Hill and should be in sequence. There should be a pic of Mike Dawson at the front, but he too fast for the camera

I've got loads more - took 600 shots on the day. Go to jerryxt/Brands DD - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting for more pics. If there's anything you like the look of, let me know and I'll get them to you full size - 3872 x 2592 so you should be able to find something and cut yourself out if you want!
