Adrian Archibald (born c. 1969 in Ballymoney) is a motorcycle racer from the same town as the legendary Joey Dunlop.
Archibald won 2 races at a sombre 2003 Isle of Man TT riding for TAS Suzuki, however the races were overshadowed by the death of Archibald's team-mate, David Jefferies. Archibald then left the TAS team after the end of 2005. He has 3 career wins on the island.
Archibald then moved to AIM Racing Yamaha for the 2006 season, but when Ryan Farquhar got injured at the Cookstown 100 races at the end of April, he moved back to the TAS Suzuki team, after the North West 200 races.
For 2008 Archie is riding and running his own team and is planning of doing more races than he has done in years. He believes that he still has enough fight to win another international road race and running his own team this year will rekindle his winning ways.
