Superstar Guy Martin Returns to winning ways at Tandragee
Superstar Guy Martin Returns to winning ways at Tandragee
Classics are suddenly cool again
The outspoken Lincolnshire star, berated for his non-appearance at the recent Cookstown races, has allayed public outrage and concerned stalkers who flocked to the Orritor event, by claiming an emphatic victory in the Classic 1000cc by over seven seconds from Richard Ford, the only other competitor in that class and who suffered a puncture, going on to break the class record of 90mph and posting a combined time of 1hrs 46mins to complete the 5 lap race around of the Tandragee circuit.

exclaimed the international superstar, famed for being the worlds fastest cyclist that ever flew across the english channel on a solar powered hovercraft with one arm tied behind his back while playing a tin-whistle.

said a slightly perturbed Mr. Martin with an anxious expression as he gazed across his clicking home-built BSA Rocket.

said Guy, as his phone rang in a polyphonic ‘McGyver’ ringtone assigned to Tyco’s Hector Neil.
Overall race winner Dean Stimpson on a Vintage Norton 500, was followed by Barry Davidson, sixth overall, and winner of the Classic 350 race whom was overheard in the paddock as saying Guy’s involvement in the vintage class is to be welcomed as the increased interest in classic motorcycles was palpable at the weekend and reflected in a marked increase in demand and residual values for twin cylinder 350’s, with some changing hands for figures in excess of 5k above their expected market value.
