Xavier takes part in the Manx next month so go and say hello.

Hopefully we will see him return to these shores, I was encouraging him to sample the Ulster.

 

Bon travail!

Motocross was never my thing but I have tried a couple over the years, my lack of talent and my enduro bike's lack of power plus soft suspension meant coming lastish.

Great fun though, I rode Ballykelly, Desertmartin, Tandragee and Seaforde.

Rooster turned this up and I am well chuffed...........
