Went to Ireland for the weekend...

Post by Sheep24 »

This weekend i was mostly scarring myself.
I went to Bush road races in NI Ireland. I took the ER6 and the ZX6 for a wee bimble. Tight wee track wee a few jumps thrown un for good measure.
I qualified 22nd out of 34 on the ER6 in the 201-400class and finished 10th.

And 13th out of 36 on the ZX6R in the 750 senior class and finished 6th.

Excellent weekends racing and well worth a trip over the water will be heading over again after Scarbourgh next month! :freebird

I was back at the weekend to do the Mid-Antrim 150. Qualifying was cancelled on the Friday night due to heavy rain but they let us out for untimed practice. I started of the back of the 1st wave of the grid on both bikes. on the ER6 i got a 6th out of 23 riders and a 7th on the ZX6 out of 26. I olso entred the supertwins race but i had to start of the back of the grid and managed to get up to 11th. The circuit was very fast but was covered in mud because the pits were a tattie feild :log wet the whole weekend but a good weekend was had :freebird
