Well according to Paul Bird, Michael's "manager" has been trying to contact him. --- http://www.bikesportnews.com/news/news-detail/bird-not-chasing-dunlop-to-parnter-hutchinson-on-the-roads

I think there is a bit of strutting and mind games being played here , Birdy says " No, definitely not. His sponsor keeps calling me. I see the 353 code on the phone, but I won’t answer. But if they want to talk to me I will talk when the time is right for me, not when it’s right for them "
Oh ye I will teach him not to turn up when he was supposed to , tit for tat games
but if you were running a big money team and wanted to win a TT would you leave the winner sat waiting to be snapped up by some one for him to pi55 all over your strawberries
I think Birdy is gambling and will talk to MD , like he says when its right him and he thinks he can get the best deal for him , it's a long time before entries have to be in

I dont think Michael will be a good fit with Paul Bird.
There is only one rooster in that hen house. ( pun intended)
RE: Dunlop misses out on factory Kawasaki deal - scaramanga - 18-12-2014
after the slagging off michael gave paul birds kawasaki last time he rode it cant see birdie rolloing out the red carpet
ill be in penrith tomorrow night actualy at a aquaintence of birdies house
but i dont expect any news regarding a dunlop/pbm partnership
RE: Dunlop misses out on factory Kawasaki deal - Steady the Edward - 19-12-2014
But the Kwak was not the bike it is now last time MD was with Birdy and Birdy knows it and Birdy knows who the winner is going to be given a half decent bike , and I all ways think the year MD rode for Birdy was the turning point in MD's career he used to frighten the life out of me before that he does not do that to me since , so there is some thing there once the when all the huffing and puffing has settled

Has Mcpint signed for Honda yet ?
Virgil

Here's a funny thing, last night 10.30ish, BMW buildbase motorrad truck driving through Morecambe.
Make of that what you will.
RE: Dunlop misses out on factory Kawasaki deal - Virgil - 19-12-2014
Usually Honda have announced who will be riding for them by now. The talk is Connor will be signed, what about John ?
Virgil
RE: Dunlop misses out on factory Kawasaki deal - maybolezx12r - 19-12-2014
I am sure Honda have said John and Connor will be with them in 2015 have they not?

JM130 is with Honda but not with Padgets because of a clash of oil sponsors.

Come on then it`s a New Year, what`s the rumour mill got on the Dunlop saga?
RE: Dunlop misses out on factory Kawasaki deal - bambam - 03-01-2015
dunlop on an R1...for who??? Milwaukee or mar train,with gary ryan having an input on the 600..or his own set up??
RE: Dunlop misses out on factory Kawasaki deal - gaz70 - 03-01-2015
I thought Milwaukee,were not doing the roads wanting to,concentrate,on BSB, Suzuki's hasn't a full factory team in place yet for the roads so apart from that,I think it could be his own set up,which would make it all the more interesting.
