About Phil....
Phil McGurk is a time served engineer with a passion for motorbikes. His racing achievements are something to be proud of, especially the
650 Super Twin which he built by hand, from scratch, and then rode to victory in the Ultra Lightweight Manx Grand Prix, 2010.
All of the bikes he races are re-engineered by Phil to obtain the best performance possible and endure the rigours of the Isle of Man Mountain Circuit. Many times these improvements exceed the manufacturers original specifications and enable wins on this gruelling road racing circuit.
Phil will be in the Isle of Man again this year [2019], with bikes that have been given his specialised attention to detail.... watch out for him in the Classic TT's on the Goldstar and the Drixton !
