Today seems an appropriate time to watch again the fantastic Dunlop-Jeffries tussle, with the 47 year old leading the way home.

Today, July 2, marks the 10th anniversary of the King of the Road’s passing. Joey was racing in Tallin, Estonia in 2000 when he lost control of his bike in wet conditions and collided with a tree. He was killed instantly. ‘Yer Man’ was only 48 years old.

Thanks for that BFG. Joey Dunlop was a one off. Not only the way he raced but the way he lived. He was & is an inspiration. God Bless you Joey.
