Hi David, the problem is, I don't even know what questions to ask...as I say, I've not been keeping up with things. 10 years of University and I still can't follow the thread and its implications.

So who does issue the 'licence' ? And does it apply to MCUI riders - who already get medicals ? Do you need a second medical by the same Doctor? It would only make sense if you were given a medical before you sign on.

As for the Classics - ShipleyManx how are things ? Is Pat keeping ok ? What is the implication for classics, that the riders can't get the meetings in due to the high running costs (tell me about it)?

On that note, if I were to enter the Manx on a 600 - does it mean I have to have 'satisfactory' finishes on a 600 in the last 12 months ? Or just have results on any bike ? And is racing a 8 mile race at a car park relevant, surely it would have to be road race or endurance racing experience.

I have so many questions, but really all I want is some really simple answers so I can work out what I'm doing for 06 season.

p.s scuse the ramble, I am a bit sleep deprived....
