As an American teenager I had the Honda SP1 on my wall. Epic rider. Hate I never saw him race in person. Managed to meet his wife, daughter and see his nephews race in person. Fantastic country with a passionate people for road racing.
11-25-22!!!!!!! Not sure how many times I have seen this! I can watch it over and over and dream I was there. Long live the king! There never has been his equal. Again along with Joey Dunlop the all-time greatest and king of my writing world!! Cheers to all who read this and all riders, great and small
Someone might beat his TT record some day, but there will never be another Joey Dunlop. The man was so humble. He didn't want to be a superstar. He just loved racing motorcycles.
Remember seeing the start of the race from the creg,then leaving to fly back home.i heard in the airport terminal, that DJs bike had given up the ghost, and Joey had won!one of the greatest TT victories ever!
Still makes me laugh that Joey told Honda Britain to stick the Fireblade they wanted him to race that year to ride his VTR. And just how quickly Honda got him all the best bits for said bike to the island (and some HRC mechanics iirc or is that just my age?)...bloody legend!!!
@@paulprescott7913 it was probably true he beat R1's at the 1999 Dundrod but i dont think the RC45 would of cut it against the fireblades and R1's in 2000 on the mountain course
Man oh man. Great video !!!!! High on my Bucket list.... to visit the Isle at Race time. My Brother who passed away a couple of weeks ago, said he has a friend who's family has a place on the Isle. I'd mentioned that we should go someday.... We can't now... but maybe someday I can. RIP Robert C. Lyons and Joey and Michael Dunlop....
To live a life.....doing the thing you Love.....to become the Greatest at that thing.....for everyone to Love and Respect you .....and to die in an instant doing that thing which you Love so much....is The Most Perfect Life of all.
Front row for the Heaven TT Joey - Robert - William we can hear the cheers and tears falling on our heads down here. Wait!! Mike Hailwood just rolled up to the start line 😮 Hang on to yer hats💔💚✌️👍🍺🍺🍺🍺👍 🇮🇲 🇺🇲🏁
pick any year any rider,the one thing that stands out with the tt...these boys had the right stuff and then some,they all have my respect,i can ride,but these boys are next world....respect and rest in peace,heroes one and all.
Joey Dunlop must have the most recognizable ARAI sponsored lid ever produced. Keen riders can notice it a mile away. Always wore ARAI, and still do. Honda was 100% always was about the Man Time Trials since day-1, the RC-51 was the hottest thing in 2000. A great time to be a motorcycle rider/racer. R.I.P Joey Dunlop (and family)…
Wow total respect for joey and Robert and William Dunlop all the family are bike legends and hats off to you all in the tt and road racing your all legends
RIP To Joey Robert and William amazing... Joey legend his spirit lives on forever I wish I had the honor of meeting these amazing human beings. One day I will be at the place Joey dominated for so many years man!!!!!
He went from one of the smallest villages in Ireland to the pinnacle of success but never forgot his roots or left County Antrim. Sadly he never got to enjoy the laurels of his victories.
Thank you!! Please do!! Because IT REALLY HAPPENED!!! Not some b s in a book. If I had kids, they’d be like, “Dad, tell us the story AGAIN!! About Mr. Dunlop!! We need to hear it again!!!” Cheers from north Dallas, crappy USA
It's amazing to see with all the technology of today they are not going that much faster I think there at the limit today unbelievable Joey is the man !! God bless the Dunlop family I look forward to be able to shake these heros hands especially William such a wonderful young man we will meet again gob bless all who have passed
I was lucky enough to be spectating at that race as a 30yr old , and even luckier to once have been offered some of Joey's onions and curry sauce with chips in his Mother's house when I was 11 or 12 , and had been invited by a friend, whose Dad was a racer, to go see the NW200 .
Great race. My dad said this was even better than when Mike Hailwood made his return to the TT in 1978, winning the F1 TT on a Ducati, and the Senior TT the following year on a Suzuki.
What a legend these boys have no fear the tt should be televised by every media company Ireland is a short distance from isle of mann and we can't even televised it a disgrace it's not all about the gaa and fai rip the Dunlop lads heroes
THIS IS ONE OF THE PRETTIEST AND CLEANEST COUNTRY AS IS THE VILLAGE I WAS BORN IN GERMANY...MOVING TO CALIFORNIA IN 1965 WHEN I WAS 5...SACRAMENTO GET'S ME TEARY EYE'S AT THE FILTH TRASH AND HOMELESS.....AMERICA HAS NEVER BEEN AS BEAUTIFUL AS SHE THINKS
How can you not admire and respect this man.. on the track plus his humanitarian aid with children
RIP Joey
Your legend will live on in the history books. 🙂
Joey was my idol and to win at the age of 48 is fantastic

Robert is pure class and so much love for his brother. Rip to you both and now to William Dunlop
There'll never be another Joey & I hope his 26 wins stays a record for a long time. RIP Joey, Robert & William thanks for the memories.
Michael is still young enough and fast catching his uncles record , it would be nice for him to do it or even match it
@@Halpin112 He has hinted he will stop at 26 out of respect.
@@davefloyd9443 well he has equalled it now
@@AlonsoRules And passed it now!
29 wins for Michael now unbelievable
There will never be another Joey. He was my hero as a kid and still is today.
3 legends on the podium. I'm honoured to have seen all 3 race, not at the TT but at the Ulster and the NW.
Had to be one of the best times in road racing hard to believe it’s 20years ago joeys the man no 48 yr old will do that again
Someone might beat his TT record some day, but there will never be another Joey Dunlop. The man was so humble. He didn't want to be a superstar. He just loved racing motorcycles.
never count mcpint out ;)
McGuinness won’t win another tt great man but I’d say he’ll retire
@@cootersmy19 I'd say he hasn't 😁😁
@@anthonyplaskett64 while he hasn't retired, his days of challenging for TT wins are gone
Coolest Podium ever !
Rutter
Joey
McPint
I'm standing on the left at 8:41...and I too cried a few weeks later😢 One of a kind....
The brilliance of Dunlop on display here. Hard to believe he would be gone just a couple weeks later. Legend. Cheers P[>
Joey's second pit stop was like clockwork, that rear wheel set up was super trick
Could never get bored of these old videos of the past legends screaming through the island.
Damn it Joey , you need to still be here.. you’d still be blowing them away. Rip you legend
Every time I drive through Armoy, Stranocum and that part of North, Joey comes to mind...

Yes thats because he threatened to bring his RC45 across and race that instead.
@@paulprescott7913 he threatend to race an rc45 is that true
@@dylanh9435 i cant 100% say , but that was in the press at the time.
@@paulprescott7913 it was probably true he beat R1's at the 1999 Dundrod but i dont think the RC45 would of cut it against the fireblades and R1's in 2000 on the mountain course
I'd imagine he fettled the vtr himself. Honda failed him a few times and he wasn't prepared to take another chance
A beautiful man and a tragedy he’s gone… god bless you Joey and Robert Dunlop
The man stood the test of time and hes a credit to the old saying "form is temporary class is permanent" joey was a hero!!!
Man oh man. Great video !!!!! High on my Bucket list.... to visit the Isle at Race time. My Brother who passed away a couple of weeks ago, said he has a friend who's family has a place on the Isle. I'd mentioned that we should go someday.... We can't now... but maybe someday I can.
RIP Robert C. Lyons and Joey and Michael Dunlop....
Michael Dunlop is still alive
Is it William I was thinking of ?
@@donaldlyons537 yes it would be. William died at Skerries back in 2018, Michael is still racing
@0:57 Iconic shot, Joey followed by John...breathtaking.

Joey made it look like it was easy. I don’t like the way the word awesome is used these days but he truly was.
Was at the Greg in 1996, worst weather ever, first week scrubbed, but got to see Joey, stIll running a JDR, this is a must do for any motorcyclist.
I think I'm here watching that racing again for the 24th time.
So many legends in this race tbh
I’m almost 21 and this makes hair stand up on the back of my neck, I’m not old enough to remember joey but he’s one of my hero’s
Simply the best - RIP Joey
He went from one of the smallest villages in Ireland to the pinnacle of success but never forgot his roots or left County Antrim. Sadly he never got to enjoy the laurels of his victories.
My hero . Legend .
This is history I’m teaching my kids and grandkids about 👍🏻
Thank you!! Please do!! Because IT REALLY HAPPENED!!! Not some b s in a book.
If I had kids, they’d be like, “Dad, tell us the story AGAIN!! About Mr. Dunlop!! We need to hear it again!!!”
Cheers from north Dallas, crappy USA
A amazing man and so humble.. rip yer man
It's amazing to see with all the technology of today they are not going that much faster I think there at the limit today unbelievable Joey is the man !!

One of the few times I’m lost for words.😢 Joey
I was lucky enough to be spectating at that race as a 30yr old , and even luckier to once have been offered some of Joey's onions and curry sauce with chips in his Mother's house when I was 11 or 12 , and had been invited by a friend, whose Dad was a racer, to go see the NW200 .
I honestly think this was the best tt race ever!!!!!!!
How many people get knigted twice , never mind a sportsman , R.I.P Sir Joey . Be safe 💝 .
joey dunlop is like john mcGuinness age is just a number
Great race. My dad said this was even better than when Mike Hailwood made his return to the TT in 1978, winning the F1 TT on a Ducati, and the Senior TT the following year on a Suzuki.

GREAT YEAR

Have to go one year.
3 legends
Why is a ZX7 racing R1 in the same race?
Were they running a few different classes at once maybe? Like how GT race cars will run with the F1s or whatever those things are.
@@samuel123478 Those are LMP1 and LMP2 Cars. "Le man prototype".
Class is 700cc up to 1000cc
Go on yer maun.....
