Issue #96 (July 2010) of Irish Racer Magazine hit the Shop Shelves this morning. This is the TT review issue and it also features Joey Dunlop on the tenth anniversary of his death. Also inside are features on Aussie David Johnson, Klaus Klaffenbock, Sandra Stamova and Bryan Staring along with all the regular columns from the likes of Guy Martin, Kirk Jamison, Jonathan Rea, Eugene Laverty, John McGuinness and a straight-talking new column from Ireland’s last Grand Prix winner Jeremy McWilliams.
It has been another excellent issue for myself in that I have over twenty of my images published in the magazine this month, including the popular Eye Candy page.

Ryan Farquhar surpassed the late great Joey Dunlop’s victory record at Killalane in 2009 to become the most successful Irish national Road racer ever. For a man that has won almost everything there is to win in the high risk sport of Motorcycle Road Racing, Ryan has his feet firmly on the ground.
Working out of a small garage workshop at the side of his Two up, Two down Killyman home he burns the midnight oil meticulously preparing his own race bikes, putting in long hours behind the scenes that the majority of race fans just don’t realise. Every nut and bolt is inspected, tightened and checked and double checked to ensure that come the weekend and the next race that nothing has been left to chance.
Tonight Ryan invited me round to look at and Photograph the MSS Kawasaki Superbike that he has the use of for his assault on the dream of a Superbike victory at one of the big three International Road Races. If the bike is as good as it looks then Ryan will be in with a fighting chance, despite the high calibre of opposition he will be up against.
Despite this being a bike prepared by MSS Colchester Kawasaki under the supervision of Nick Morgan, Ryan still stripped the bike down to see what brackets etc needed strengthening to survive the rigours of Road racing. If Ryan doesn’t get a win or Two on this bike, you can be sure it won’t be his own fault.
Ryan, best of luck for the racing, and keep it safe out there.
