Hi im new to the forum. I have a race prepared 04 CBR 1000 rr, Im looking to upgrade to a 08/09 CBR 1000 later in the year. Im training to take on the Isle of Man TT Mountain Course hopefully in 2012 or 2013, and various other Irish National and International Road Races. I have been crossing hedges on motorbikes since I was 10 years old and racing around the roads of Ireland dodging cars and brave bunny rabbits shortly there after,

Bikes Ive owned

Grew up in ballinamuck co longford for 26 short year, been to cork loved it down there, full of mad *******...

 

Thanks Im sure I missed out a few, I also had Bike made out of many bikes that was lying around in my teens anything that ran to get us to the bar !!!! haha..

 

Thanks for the invite, teh worse handling thing I have ever had ws the 7/11 it was a beast in a straight line but it was like leaning off the side of rosie o donnell trying to ger it/her around a corner

 

Yeah raising the money, to make a good run at it is harder than actually racing it, qualifying to enter it will also take alot of pulling and dragging but it will all be worth it.. Im going to shoot a documentary/mini series about the preparation for the TT and Then racing the Island and various other Irish road races/US Race Tracks, and training schools.

Im hoping to have funding in place for my own team and the documentry in the next few months, so fingers crossed. i have been close many times and just fell short....
