Well, we have one race weekend under our belt out at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway in CA and we are heading back out there next weekend hopefully not blowing an engine up this time and hoping for a smooth weekend! Chuckwalla was quite fun racing with the CVMA crew out there, although I was riding a borrowed Yamaha R3 in a field of SV and FZ07 Superbikes...

Big Thanks to my buddy Hammer for letting me ride his R3 out there, he qualified on the pole with it so I was being very cautious as I would be the worlds biggest asshole if I wadded it just getting finishes for my Mountain Course License!
Then we were working on an entry into the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb but at the last minute lost our ride to a magazine editor from CA so that left an open spot in June with scheduled time off work and nothing planned... My genius mind decided hey lets see if there are any Irish Road Races during that time and guess what I found? Kells Road Races is June 18/19 this year so I decided to put some feelers out about possibly hiring a bike to ride and give her a go!

Next thing I know I'm offered a ride on a Honda 600RR with Paul Black Racing that my mate Gav is piloting this season on the roads! Who am I to turn this opportunity down??? Mega, just Mega opportunity for me to get my feet wet with racing on the roads over there and help to get me up to speed for my debut at the Manx Grand Prix on the famous Mountain Course on the Isle of Man!
Kells is the 4th round of the Irish National Championship and may not have a ton of turns but has it's fair share of bumps and some of the largest jumps on the schedule. Should be a blast!
With that I will end this post and be back when we get back from Chuckwalla on the Supertwin! Although we will be on a stock engine this time around it will be nice to be on my bike again!
Cheers!
