He should have won Skerries the year I was over there from Australia, but a late enterant from Aus took it out, and he came second unless I am mistaken?
I really do pride myself on riding elbows out, backing it in, accelerating like I f'ing mean it when I need to attitude and being a mellow and ultra laid back rider in general when the helmet is off. Martin Finnegan was indeed a true professional and a standard that every rider should at least attempt to live up to. Great video, I always come back to it. The discovery of Finnegan and Irish Road Racing made my life worth it. I ride a CBR F3 and I'm in awe at the things road racers did with them.
Thank you taraguitar, for this excellent footage of Darren, Reggie & Finbar - in full flight - their memories live on. I pray 2009 will be a safe year for all our boys.
great bike footage get rid of that crap music I WANT HERE THE BIKES you idiots why do you think we want whach these BECAUSE WE LIKE BIKES come on sort it out
Hi Mark - thanks for the feedback - the best way to hear the bikes is to actually attend the races rather than watching on the web - its a great experience and the sport needs all the support it can get - thanks Tara
" I WANT HERE THE BIKES you idiots" ha ha that is rather ironic. Learn some spelling and grammar and maybe then you can think about calling people idiots.
'I want to hear the bikes' is what you were attempting to type you dribbling dumb fuck.
i love the part were martin pips farquar on at the line at the mid antrim and martin thumps his fist out as if to say yes i gotcha.farquar said after the race that his bike wasnt handling over the jumps.......excuses......ride on marty#45
will be missed by so many. Pity but thats what it takes for those asshole race organizers to make better safety standards. Riders begging for proper safety procedures. Barry Sheene did it for Moto GP. Martin led it for alot of the road racing circuits. God Bless you finnegan - you have left an astonishing legacy.
Glad you all like Irish Road Racing so much - I'm not sure who compiled this video but it sure is great - Check out realroadracingdotcom for a super site on racing between the hedges! Tara
nice one m8, will miss him at skerries this weekend
