    After Jerez last month I'd lost a bit of the fizz for it all tbh........ Wasn't getting the fun for the level of money I was pumping into the bike and racing I once did....

    Told the lads I was hanging my leathers up for a season while I sort my money pit of a new house out and maybe play a bit of golf.....

    48hrs later and I've signed up for a full season in Ducati challenge Bsb..... :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::rolleyes::D

    They follow 7 rounds of Bsb inc brands gp, thruxton and ASSEN.... oh and wsb at donny o_O:cool: pmsl.....

    I am literally bursting with excitement..... And to make it even better Jase and cookie are doing it, and we've managed to secure another years service of our crew chief Dave v who makes burgess look an ameture......what a crack we will have...... Those that know us know we don't take ourselves very serious, so to line up at Bsb will be fecking hilarious ;) I can't wait......

    Jase is also taking the coach https://www.yourpitstop.co.uk which we will use as our base, and also if anyone wants a bed for the night, you can stop on the coach and save the agg of camping ;);).... And stay in the paddock at the same time :cool: speak to jase about prices. Quote 'jimbo' please as I get a free tyre per refferal ;) lol

    Anyway, going to be a blast.... But need to go on a diet as they say tele adds 10 lbs :eek::eek::eek:

    Bsb baby!!!!!!

    It's soooooo stupid it's genius :) hahahaha

    Awesome news Jimbo! Nothing like the thought of retirement to promote something totally the opposite! Good luck with it all. Will be keeping a good eye on you all out there.

    they are all either 899's or 959 Ducati's mate. Control tyre and regs so pretty much identical bikes. Which will no doubt highlight my complete lack of talent on national television :eek:

    We are ordering matching 959's, identical in spec... as you do :D
