And don't forget the Skerries road race too, smaller but exciting too.

Sadly, a young rider was killed while competing this weekend. Sympathies to his friends and family.

God not again. Sympathy goes to family and friends.

Motorsport is dangerous but it is always unfortunate when competitors pay the ultimate price.

Two lost their lives this year. One was a competitor and the other was a spectator speeding away after the race.

North West 200 is a dangerous race though i find it sad that more spectators have died after the race than competitors in it!

Never the less it is thrilling to watch and the racers know what they are getting into.
