He posed for the team pics with the Kirk, even a pic of him biting the frame, but he never rode one in a race. They were both heavier and whippier than his steel frame, so he just rode that with the team's paint job on it, maybe Kirk decals too? It was obvious from a mile away that it wasn't a Kirk Mag though.. I was surprised they let him do that, but the bikes really were terrible.

Ha ha yes I think just before seeing the bike, I bumped into Phil Anderson and his teammates hanging around the team car. I have his autograph somewhere...
