Davy Morgan will go in to next years Road Race Season armed with a full complement of well-prepared, top quality Honda Machinery. The Saintfield lorry driver will be running his own team in 2007 and everyone involved is confident that the support and sponsorship now in place will ensure that the season ahead will be enjoyable and successful at both the International and National Road Race meetings.

Morgan had an indifferent 2006 with an excellent start to the season, which brought wins at Cookstown and Tandragee along with a number of other top six finishes and an impressive seventh place in the prestigious Senior TT. Things went a bit array after this when a few problems both on and off track blighted the middle of his 2006 campaign, but Davy turned it around and hopes to carry his good end of season form, which included the Outright Lap Record at the Boyne Road Races in to the season ahead.

At a press launch in the La-Mon House Hotel hosted by the Ballygowan and District Road Race Supporters Club, Davy announced his team and plans for 2007.

With the exception of a couple that he has chosen not to compete at, the plan at this time is to do as many Irish National Road Races as finances will allow, the Southern 100 and the three International meetings with obviously a big emphasis on the Centenary TT, although he would like another North West win and really wants to improve his performances at the Ulster Grand Prix around the Dundrod Circuit. Davy’s first outing of 2007 and a first chance to see the new stunning metallic gunmetal Hondas will hopefully be at the Enkalon Trophy meeting at Bishopscourt on Easter Saturday when he hopes to be out in the 250cc and Superbike classes.

Long time sponsor and friend Kevin Wood continues his association with Davy Morgan Racing and his Investasure Financial Services Honda Fireblade Superbike, which Davy rode at the end of 2006 has been updated and prepared with a 2006 engine by ace tuner Chris Mayhew. Davy has taken delivery from Honda one of the new CBR600RR Supersport machines, which is supplied by John McKeown of Autotech Driver & Rider Training, although it is not race ready yet it is hoped that come Cookstown the remainder of the parts on order will have arrived from Honda. To complete the machinery package and ensure a busy race schedule the engine of Davy’s own 250cc Honda has now been rebuilt with help from Honda Racing UK and the continued backing of the Ballygowan & District Road Race Supporters Club has resulted in a few improvements to make it even more competitive than last year before the engine problems. A new race transporter has been purchased and prepared and is supplied by Allan Frew of Annadale Design and a spacious service van is supplied courtesy of Andy McCann of CarNETcarsales.Com, both of which are crucial in the successful running of a Road Race Team.

There is a host of other people, sponsors and partners involved in the project and Davy Morgan would thank them all for their support including: Helmetstop a new venture by Owen Brothers Honda, which is providing Davy with Helmets, boots and gloves, BLRC Belfast Land Rover Center, Macleay Engineering, Red Bay Boats, Walsh Western, TranAm, Q8 Oils, John Bell and the Two Stroke Supporters Club.
