How not to take a right hander
« on: 19 October 2014, 10:27:55 am »
This is how not to take a right hander. This was at the Cookstown 100, think it was 2011. Thankfully his injuries were not life threatening, few broken bones.
He turned in to the corner a bit early and the bar ends just dug in to the grassy bank, bike was totaled though.
Same lad was back again the next year

Cracking photo, Ryan Farquhar  now theres a fella that can ride a bike. I just wish he had stayed retired though. He has nothing to prove to anyone. I see he is going back on the Big bikes again stocker and a superbikes, kwackers of course.

Saw Ryan race at Scarborough, probably 2 years before he retired. He won everything he entered, made it look so easy. Class!

Just heard this on BBC sport N Ireland.

Michael Dunlop has signed for Shaun Muir and Millwalkee Yamaha for 2015. He is doing the roads and also world endurance series. Also he has agreed to be backup rider on the BSB bikes if a rider is injured, check out the link on BBC sport N Ireland.
