15th May 2023What does the NW200 mean to you?
From road racers and their teams, to emergency services, race organisers, and members of the public, the video below compiles a swathe of interviews from 2017-2018 (sometimes in less than ideal recording conditions) answering the question: “What does the NW200 mean to you?”
-
- “My father-in-law there, he was an avid fan. He’d been coming here for about 30 years and he introduced me to bikes there when I first started courting his daughter.” Kevin Hill
-
- “As a competitor, two years ago I was knocked off at Hill Road roundabout and broke my collar bone, so in terms of pain memory, I remember that one. We’ve also had good success here. We know it for its extreme weathers, one extreme to another, we’ve had many memories here.” Daley Mathison
-
- “My father passed away three years ago. It’s memorable, just being down here with him and always up on his shoulders watching the bikes. Not that I had a keen interest in bikes, but it was a family event and we always used to come, every year, and barbecue.” Sandra McKeeman
