Last week saw the running of the 2009 Dundrod 100 and Ulster GP road races. Once again our man "Bullet" Barber travelled over to the Emerald isle to see how he would fair this year. After being rained off last year, ob felt he had unfinished business. At the Dundrod, Rob put his R6 on pole, which was no mean feat considering we finished building the bike a day before it went on the ferry so he had had no prior testing. During the race, Rob got a sluggish start and dropped back and lost any chance of a tow from the leader but fought back and finished a fine second (not bad for a 15 1/2 stone lad on a standard supersport bike!! 2 podiums in 2 years.
At the Ulster, Rob suffered engine problems on his superstock bike but still managed a fine 10th in the first superstock race and a 12 the in the supersport. More details when i get them!
