After a steady practice week with no major problems with his machinery, Davy, still trying to get over a head cold, wheeled the Investasure Fireblade to the start line for Saturday's Superbike TT. With damp conditions, and everyone unsure of the correct tyre choice, the riders prepared for the off and then the announcement came of a 30 minute delay, followed shortly by the shock news that the entire days race had been postponed. With bad weather predicted for Sunday the first race of the Centenary TT would now be held on Monday, meaning that we would have three consecutive days racing around the mountain circuit.

fter another day working on the bikes and trying to relax if possible, the scene was set under good conditions for the Centenary TT Superbike race. Starting at number 16 Davy had a few riders to hunt down in front of him. A good couple of first laps, saw Davy just lie just outside the top 10 as he came in for the first of his two pit stops.

A few problems were encountered in the pit stops loosing valuable time. As Davy headed out onto laps three and four, the Investasure Honda Fireblade started to misfire and cost Davy a lot of time over the next few laps. Another pit stop came and went and on the final two laps, with the bike continuing to misfire Davy continued on over the mountain and completed the six lap race at an average speed off 118.737mph, finishing 15th and collecting a bronze replica.

Tuesday, and it was the Superstock Race, which was put back 24 hours due to the cancellation of the Superbike TT. On the Blacks Bike Shop prepared Suzuki 1000 GSXR, Davy was looking forward to this race and looking for a good result on this one off ride. However, it was not to be and it was a short lived race when on the opening lap run to Ballcraine, the brakes failed, leaving Davy heading up the slip road and disappointed that his race was over so soon after it had began.

With the third race over the famous mountain circuit in three days, it was the turn of the Autotech 600 Honda to take to the track, and with the machine down in top speed this was going to be a difficult race. Getting his head down from the flag Davy rode as hard as he could, over the four laps. At the end of lap four averaging at 114.912mph Davy finished an extremely disappointing 29th with a bronze replica.

With no racing on Thursday it was down to stripping out the Investasure Honda to see what the misfire problem was during the Superbike TT, with wiring looms, plugs and other bit and bobs changes, it was all set for the blue ribbon Senior TT on Friday.

So far, disappointed with his TT, Davy was looking for a good result for Investasure from the Isle of Man on their Honda Fireblade. Once again under glorious conditions for the final race of the Centenary TT the racing got under way, but it wasn't long before the gremlins returned in 1000 Honda, with the misfire getting worse over the first 37 3/4 miles and it was at the end of that lap, that Davy's 2007 TT races ended with his second frustrating retirement of the week this time in the pits.

Overall it was a TT to forget for the man from Saintfield, who said he just wanted to finish as high as possible and improve his overall lap times on all bikes, but sadly this wasn't to be. Davy would like to thank all his sponsors, helpers and friends for the hard work and effort during the two and half weeks on the island and hopes that things will get better as the season progresses.
