Traynor's Take on the North West 200 Weekend

What a weekend at the North West 200.

From the minute the van rolled onto the north coast and the setup began in the Trading Village, the atmosphere was electric. The sun made an appearance, the crowds poured in, and the sound of bikes flying around the Triangle circuit reminded everyone exactly why the NW200 remains one of the biggest and best events on the road racing calendar. 

For Traynors, the weekend was about more than just racing. It was a chance to meet customers face-to-face, catch up with familiar names, and welcome plenty of new ones, too. From early mornings setting up the stand to the final race on Saturday evening, there was a constant buzz around the paddock and trading village. The support shown throughout the week was unreal, and we genuinely appreciate everyone who stopped by for a chat, a browse, or to show support.

Saturday’s racing delivered plenty of action, with huge crowds lining the circuit and some incredible performances on track. The energy around Portrush, Portstewart and Coleraine was something special, and it was brilliant to see so many people enjoying everything the event has to offer. 

A massive thank you to everyone who called over to see us throughout the week. Events like the NW200 are all about community, motorsport, and meeting the people who support local businesses year-round, and that’s exactly what made this weekend so memorable for us.
