Only one month after being nominated for the Enkalon Motorcyclist of the year and Short Circuit Rider of the Year at the Adelaide Motorcycle Awards Kirk has been put forward for another accolade. This time the award has come from his home Borough of Ards as he has been nominated for the Ards Borough Sports Person of the Year 2011. [...]
Kirk was invited to the Adelaide Motorcycle Show at the Kings Hall on Saturday to launch the Adelaide Masters for 2012. Along with long time rival Brian McCormack Kirk chatted on stage about his 2011 titles, his plans for 2012 and the success of the relatively new series. One major change which convinced Kirk to defend his title is the [...]

Admission is again kept at the low price of £5 per head with doors open at 8pm and the band [...]

First up was the MCUI UC awards in the La Mon Hotel on January where Kirk received his coveted MCUI medals for the Ulster & Irish Superbike and Irish Superstock Championships.

Nominated for Award The good news just keeps coming at the minute as I have just learned that I am one of the fifteen nominees for the 2012 Enkalon Motorcyclist of the Year! I’m under no illusion that I don’t stand a chance of lifting the award but to be nominated amongst such big names is a real honour. The [...]
A Reception with the Mayor Just two days after clinching the Irish Superbike Championship I was given another accolade for 2011 when I was invited for tea with the Mayor Ards, Mervyn Oswald. I was invited up to be presented with a plaque in recognition of my sporting achievements this year which I have to say I was really chuffed [...]
Battered but Champion! I knew heading to Bishopcourt that a solid race one result should see me crowned ISB Champion and allow me to go and enjoy myself for the rest of the day against the BSB boys. I always enjoy the Sunflower, trying to raise my game and claim a scalp or two so that was definitely my aim [...]

I was joined at the Mondello test by Bridgestone boss Peter Dickson and my set up guru Jeremy McWilliams. Unfortunately the hurricane which just beat the crap out of America also turned up so it was a tough day. We made numerous changes throughout the day with Jeremy and I taking it in turns to try out his ideas with [...]
I have been mentioning all year about going for five titles however it has transpired that I can only go for four. Unlike all the other classes there is not title for Ulster Superstock title, only an Irish one. It doesn’t really make sense when the championship mirrors the rest of the classes all of whom have an Ulster title [...]
