TT competitor Forest Dunn calls time on racing

Falmouth rider has been a TT regular since 2016

TT competitor Forest Dunn has announced he's retiring from racing.

In an update to followers on social media, the Falmouth rider says there's 'many different reasons' for the decision which have 'all come to a head and been somewhat overbearing.'

Going forward, Dunn adds he how intends to 'pursue the little business I've been trying to build over the last five years selling motorcycles' and is thanking friends, sponsors and supporters for their faith over the years.

Having started racing in 2013 he made his North West 200 and Ulster Grand Prix debuts in 2015 before making his maiden Snaefell Mountain Course appearance the following year, finishing 53rd in the Superstock TT race.

He has since competed in every TT that has taken place since 2016 including this year in which he was a retirement in the Supersport TT Race 1.

His highest TT placing of 15th came in the 2018 Lightweight race which was one of three top-20 finishes overall.
