Yep.Go every year.Cookstown 100 is only 10 mins up the road so looking forward to that next week.Any of you over for the races take a run up round Draperstown.Myself and the wife have a wee bikers cafe there and some great mountain roads in the area.Discount for all bikers...

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.

Doh, bit late now we're in a B and B, look out for #142 which is Stuarts race number.
See you in the paddock
