Davy Morgan Racing had one of those days that you just want to forget at the North West 200, he did not even get one complete racing lap around the nine mile north coast triangle on race day.

On the opening lap of the opening race Davy was T-Boned at the University and got his arm caught between the two bikes as he went down and damaged his elbow. After getting checked by the doctors and taking on board their advice he decided he was not fit enough to take his CSC Branson machines to the line and had to sit out the remainder of the meeting. A real disappointment for everyone involved and another hefty unwanted bill for leathers, boots and gloves. That’s the report for the 2009 NW200 race day short, but definitely not sweet.

Speaking afterwards an angry, Davy commented: “I want to apologise to everyone concerned with the team that I could not get out there, so many people worked hard this week and before that to get me ready to go today and then a stupid mistake, not even my own and it all goes down the pan and we are left kicking our heels. There is also the extra expense that we could have done without on our already tight budge.. I just hope the injury is not too serious as I am due to head to the TT in less than two weeks”.
