North West, Kells, Skerries all fantastic this year and the weather was red hot. These guys dice with death and get paid peanuts for what they do, its a shame there is not the kind of support that the GPs get. You are stood 1ft from the road watching 10+ bikes being ringed to death all trying to get round a course/road that is basically 4m wide on a surfice that is no better than your average drive.
It a shame some people have all the money and no imagination. They tell you they have been to the TT, so that counts. It is a fantastic 2 weeks, I've been several times, but it is certainly NOT road racing by any stretch! in fact compared to Irish racing its pretty dull.
Cameron Donald at Skerries hiting the limiter on a stretch of road with a 30 speed limit and a HP at the end, houses both sides and 10 other bikes all trying to get past him, he is not human.
If you fancy it next year, drop me a line, I live in Ireland and have lots of space. Around 10 mates comes over for each meet, it's fantastic. |
Fair enough, but its the noise of the GP bikes that has got me hooked!!!
