After
Davy's plans to ride at Bishopscourt over
the Easter weekend had to be cancelled
at the last minute due to circumstances
beyond their control the team once again
had to re-assess their plans and options
to get important set-up time on the new
bikes before the start of the road race
season.
Other than the test in
Portugal on the CSC Branson R1 Yamaha
Davy has had no track time as the weather
at home has been too cold and wet to even
consider a test day. So with the bikes
ready to go and the van and lorry now
stickered up for the season ahead by team
sponsors "01RACEFX" the team
will now full of anticipation head for
Dublin on Thursday evening with the Strangford
Holiday Park GSXR1000 Suzuki and Davy
Morgan #71 Road Racing Supporters Club
250cc Honda on board for the trip to the
mainland. They will then link-up with
team principle Steve Caffyn who will have
the new CSC Branson R6 Yamaha onboard
and then the team will head for an extensive
test day at Pembrey in South Wales on
Friday.
Davy hopes for a busy
and successful day as he looks to get
the 250 Honda run-in after a winter rebuild
and more importantly looks to get a first
run on the Superbike and Supersport machines.
The first step on both bikes will be to
get the riding position sorted and then
after that to get a good base setting
on both bikes that will allow Davy to
have a safe and successful 2010.
Then after a nights rest
it will be the long 350 mile trip to Scarborough
for the Ian Watson Spring Cup Meeting
on Sunday where Davy will have his first
race of 2010. He will be going out on
all three bikes with the main priority
of getting himself and the bikes dialled
in for the Cookstown 100 on the 23rd/24th
April. Although if things go well he will
be looking for some good confidence boosting
results.

Davy is looking forward to getting out
on the Strangford Holiday Park Superbike,
its been in the garage since November
|
Davy speaking on Tuesday,
"I can't wait, it seems like
an age since we were in Portugal and with
two new bikes to get a run on you could
say i am like a kid on Christnmas Eve.
01RACEFX did a brilliant job on the bike
graphics and they have excelled again
with the van and lorry that are both looking
well ahead of the season. The trip is
five days away, but its important with
the two new bikes that we get time on
them before we take them out in a race
so it was the only workable option open
to us, to do the test day and then up
to Scarborough. The bikes look well, the
transport looks well and my new Arai helmets
complete the package, again in the distinctive
pink colour, thanks to Arai for supplying
me with them as the race budget for this
year is very tight".
"The Suzuki has been in my garage
since November when Trevor of Strangford
Holiday Park bought it for me, so to say
it has been a long six months is an under
statement, even though it was dissappointing
not to be out at Easter we probably would
not have learned a lot as conditions were
either awful or not great. I just can't
wait to get my leg over it in anger and
see what it and i am capable off. The
CSC Branson R6 Yamaha i have not even
seen since the day we bought it as it
has been with Steve (Caffyn) in England
so i have not even seen the new graphics.
It is the most kit Supersport machine
i have ridden in my career so i am confident
i can improve my results in 2010. I want
to say a big thankyou to Trevor for this
opportunity and to Steve for his continued
support and i just hope i can do the bike's
and them justice with some good results."
"So here's looking forward to
a safe and successful weekend, and on
Monday on the way home i hope i have a
big smile on my face and ready to go at
Cookstown. Just to let people know that
our new badges have arrived for 2010 when
again we will be supporting Action Cancer
and they will be on sale for the first
time at Scarborough this weekend. I hope
the race fans will continue to support
us and this important charity". |
