What are the chances of keeping us posted of plans for 2007 given he rides under ADC and this site is there's isnt it.
His seventh (I think) on Sunday last at Darley Moor proved he has plenty of talent and it would be good to read here what he is up to as we aint gonna get it anywhere else until he starts his own web site !!

WEll we do have a web site but it is woefully out of date so w don't publicise it.
He doesn't ride a Triumph so I'm not sure how the management would take it if I reported here on his plans etc.
Considering he is riding a bike that is only putting out 64 bhp peak against some bikes that are 77+BHP I think you are right he has a LOT of talent (don't tell I told you though) and he gets consistent top ten finishes in F400 at Darley (and good results elsewhere as well) has 4 signatures for his national license from a difficult season speaks volumes.
What does the management think?

Ah, was confused by "what does the management think?", though you were asking GUG what his management thought.
Considering there is a Triumph somewhere in the ADC camp don't see why not. Just stick a Triumph badge over the Honda logo.......

A genuine Q Tony, what series/races would he want to run it in and do you think a 675 would/could be competitive ?

Well, genuine answer:
I think he needs to run in F400 for another year for the experience. Therefore what we need is a bit more power which we are looking at but its going to cost.
Then the year after we eed to look at 600 or bigger class in another series (possibly New Era or MRO) but that is going to cost serious money cos we will have to start again with buying stuff. Only upside is I may have finished racing by then so we will have my money to put into it.
675, nope sorry but I don't think that it will be competitive just because its well behind the competition in terms of development and unlikely to receive the development it deserves UNLESS the factory gets involved (ALSO HIGHLY UNLIKELY imho). The one make race series is unlikely to help in this respect.

Blizz, yup but that is a similar club to Darley (indeed they race at Darley when said 675 was beaten by a Ducati; albeit a 999)
Tonto, no I hadn't seen that but again I wonder how it would do against some of the ex-supersport R6's and CBR600 even in club racing. I wonder if its just a cheap way for Triumph to get it developed for them without putting that much in. I'll pop down to the dealer and see what a 'substantial' discount is.
