RUTTER: "... I’ve been competing at the North West 200 for
nine years now and have always enjoyed it .... The event itself is always
fantastic and the fans are incredibly enthusiastic.... I’m especially
looking forward to it this year because the HM Plant Honda Racing Fireblade
should suit the circuit. The bike turns amazingly well and the new rotary
steering damper works brilliantly when you’re flat-out .... I’m
climbing the all-time winners rankings and I’m only one win away
from equalling my dad’s record. I suppose the family influence
has rubbed off on me "
