Kiss me, I’m Irish!
For today, anyway.
In honor of Saint Patrick’s day, I thought I’d post a little something from Ireland’s North West 200 road racing circuit. This is a 2010 on-board video shot from Guy Martin’s bike during practice.

Great post so appropriate. I enjoy your blog very much keep up the great work. PS. I owned a DRZ400S and it still is considered my most fun bike I ever owned. It took two bikes to replace her.A KLR650 and a Husky TE510.
There is footage of Guy going round the TT Course on You Tube as well. Also try and find the BBC TV series ‘The Boat That Guy Built’. It has only just finished this week in the UK. It suits Guy’s personality to a T
Guy martin is an amazing rider with balls of steel. If him and Rossi did the same type of racing that would be something to see.
Rossi, when interviewed at IOM last year, said that all of those guys were insane. That says a lot.

Thanks, Jay 🙂 I really appreciate it!
Yea, the DRZ is a-okay. Kind of a do-all sorta bike. I’m really having lotsa fun with it, too.
Great to have a day in my honor, thank you all!
And yes, those guys are nuts… and have nuts the size of well, you can think of something…
You deserve your own day!
I find myself tipping my head to lean in the turns when watching those videos.
I thought I had the need for speed, but after watching the video I have a stronger will to live.
