Davy was back on the Isle of Man to tackle the mountain Circuit on the CSC Branson 498cc Drixton Honda and the RJP Racing 249cc Suzuki T20 at the Manx Grand Prix.

It was to prove a trying fortnight as machine problems throughout meant that there was a severe lack of track time to get the full feel of the bikes. Despite the problems he got enough laps to qualify and was in the top fifteen times on the CSC Branson Honda in the Senior Classic and was in the top ten in Lightweight Classic on the RJP Suzuki.

In the races it was a retirement on lap one in the Senior Race and a retirement on lap two in the Lightweight Race, so disappointment and frustration all round.

Speaking later Davy said, “A disappointing fortnight, I just can’t get these classic’s to be reliable. I would like to thank CSC Racing and RJP Racing for the opportunity to ride their bikes.”
