The worlds greatest road race.

[SCI-MCC]

The greatest and fastest road race in the world.For one
week the seaside town of Portrush in Ireland's North coast
is brought to a stand still with 100,000 visitors,all
there to see one thing.Have you ever seen guys
doing over 200 mph on open roads that if were
open some would be 30 and 40 mph zones.It's truly
breath taking.

its surrounding need it to make money and keep there business going.

Yes mate,it was.It was at the classic bike show in Stafford England.Yes
duke video does a hell of a lot of the road racing.If you wanna see a really
good race get the 1999 Ulster Gp.Jefferies and Joey racing in that race
was totally amazing.

He was killed at a race in Estonia in Eastern Europe mate in 2000.A really
sound guy,as down to earth as they came.I had met him a few times
and I've been in his pub quite a bit.D. Jefferies was killed
3 years later at the TT.I have a painting of the two of the racing
at that Ulster GP,best riding I've ever seen I'll never forget it.
