Nice one, that's where I purchased also. He's a good guy Billy, I've bought a few Dukes off him over the years.
Good luck with yours and I'll see you around.

One of the guys off the forum is racing at Cookstown, Stuart 42, under the name off Black Dub Racing. Pop along and introduce yourself!
Stuart also has a blog, which the link for is attached.

http://www.blackdub.co.uk/

I'm over for the NW, so will pop along to the cafe for a brew!

Hi, and welcome.
Mental note made of the cafe address.....the Cookstown looks like an awesome race and is pretty much top of my "to do" list, but sadly finances are a limiting factor this year.

Hi and welcome, I always promise myself a trip to the road races but never seem to have the time. Love the DVD's though.
