The original and best, nobody but nobody could hold a candle to Joey. He blazed a trail across the annals of road racing and he did so with style, humility and dignity. God rest his gentle soul.
I have said it before and I say it again Joey is simply the best both as a rider and as a human being !! Will we ever see another I think not !! when you look at todays so called proffesionals and their madona attitude bikes not too bad F1 is terrible !! How he will and is being missed by us all !! when watching Joey its like watching a good film you can watch it over and over again I have seen this Vid many times but no matter thanks for uploading it this should be shown as many times as possible for mere mortals like us to see what a true sports man/woman should be like It also shows that the machine is not everything neither is age When you are this good nothing matters !!!! I make no appologies for ratteling on as this man deserves all the attentionand praise that can be thrust upon him He gave so much without taking anything Thank you Mr Dunlop for all those years of pleasure you gave to both bikers and the general public that you gave your time and energy to this includes those you helped on other continents For those that don't get what I am saying just look at what Joey did for others in his little van and then you will see where I am comming from !!!!! God bless you joey and your family where the loss is at its greatest !!
Joey Dunlop was a humble superstar. For all his success he was totally grounded, because it was never about money. Joey just loved to race. You mentioned his good work in the wee van. He went every year with a van full of aid to the Romanian orphanages. He never even sought to make his charity work public. One helper at an orphanage said that her memory of Joey was eating corned beef and beans with the orphans. It's just a pity some of today's overpaid prima Donnas weren't more like Joey. But they never will be because there will ever only be one Joey Dunlop.
@@WHU63 That’s such a wonderful thing. I read once that he fixed a plank across the rear of his van so when he needed a sleep on those long, solo trips to Eastern Europe after the iron curtain fell, he’d pull over and sleep across the van on this board, with just a blanket. So humble. I know he revered the crown & treasured his two awards. The only thing I differed on with him, I don’t respect the crown.
Grew up in Armoy in the 70’s lying in bed up in the Fairhill you could hear the boys on the roads testing the bikes on long late Friday summer nights getting ready for the Saturday racing the noise of the old two strokes was unforgettable. When i hear them in the classic races the smell and the noise brings me back to my childhood lying along the hedges at the NW200 or Dundrod with Dad and my brother with his fingers in his ears. Joey Frank and Mervyn thanks for the memories RIP.
some racket out of the old 2 stroke machines, the Armoy race of legends and the classic bike festival at Bishopscourt are the only place to hear them now!
Great race Jeffers having to eat this words....🤣🤣 Well done Joey a true legend...💯 I'm very lucky to have a Honda RC45 and it's on the best sounding bikes ever made in my opinion...😋👍🏻😎
@@chrisclifford4109 did he actually say past it? Or was he just saying that he didn't think he'd be a threat in that race? DJ wasn't the type to disrespect anyone especially Joey.
What a legend. But all these guys racing the Irish and Manx road races are next level. Incredible how they do it at all. Looking forward to the TT soon!
I never had the opportunity to meet Joey & that's a regret but at least I get to watch him race at 47 & still winning. RIP Joey & thanks for the memories 👍
Most people don't realise joey was a x4 world champion in ttf1 championship... basically the 4 stroke prototype (gp) championship of the day, as well as all the wins on the road. Absolute legend
Always remember Ian Duffus saying that day him and Joey braking hard for the corners they were side by side and Joey looking over at him and just letting the brakes of, you weren't going to beat him that day.
Joey couldnt put visor on helmet his heads were shaking that bad before this race and he looked at his boss and said im teaching dj a lesson and what did he do
Epic duel between two of the greatest men ever on two wheels. Read somewhere Joey often became nervous before races , but once the race started , he settled into it no bother. He surely did school David that day.
@@pauloshea3741 I'm referring to the commentator. And the build up to the race everyone was trying to write joey off and say he can't beat Jeffries and the r1. Hence why I said, rub your nose it it! I don't need to have won a tt to remember the trash talk about joey. And this isn't the TT, It's the ulster grand prix!
@@pauloshea3741 What's TT's got to do with the Ulster Grand Prix, and the original comment still stands they were talking shite and got their nose's rubbed it in.
ahh commentating from then to now-back then if some one was an idiot you could call them an idiot without any issues, now days call some one an idiot even if they were blatantly acting like one they get sued..sad. id love to make a living going around commentating on people acting like a fool and calling them on it.
Steve Parrish would probably still say it but not many others would. in F1 James hunt used to say more than just idiot on live tv at 2 in the afternoon, where have the characters gone, not only missing from the grid but also commentary even.
@@Team-fabulous not really that he didnt rate joey just that joeys rc45 wasnt a match for the r1, which it shouldnt of been. That R1 was a tony scott tuned bike. And jefferies was more aggressive rider than joey but joey proved unbeateable that day.
And everyone is supposed to be surprised when one of these guys wraps himself around a telephone pole at 150 mph - And the people that actually wonder why Marc Marquez and Valentino Rossi LAUGH when someone asks them if they would ever consider doing a street race -

You don't get the name KING OF THE ROAD for nothing. A true gentleman. 1 of the vest race's I've seen. RIP Joey 🙏. A HERO to many 👏 thanks
R.I.P. David Jefferies, Gary Dynes, Joey Dunlop & Gary Jess who passed away at Dear's leep in 2002
A damn shame he’s gone.. a hero on the road and in the hearts of neglected orphaned children he helped to support.. gods speed Joey
I was there that day, just before the top of Deers leap, pretty much under the camera tower. Fantastic race, thanks for sharing.
And he did this on the RC45 against the R1s. Greatest man on 2 wheels bar none.
Great race Jeffers having to eat this words....🤣🤣 Well done Joey a true legend...💯 I'm very lucky to have a Honda RC45 and it's on the best sounding bikes ever made in my opinion...😋👍🏻😎

what a legend , taken from us way to early . one of the best racers of all time IMO :)
“Ahhh the bike sounds BEAUTIFUL’”
It sounds absolutely amazing!!!!! 😍🥳
continues to talk over the engine noises
@@dougmcdougalson Unreal noise though! 😎
I have a v4 Honda. I wish it sounded like that. No comments.

5 times
The best ever to swing his leg over a bike. Joey loved Dundrod
Joey, a real gentleman, we will never see his likes again, RIP Joey
The greatest to ever do it. RIP Joey 💜
Joey's a true legend... My all time hero...
The men who race these races are a diffrent breed. Joey was the best of them
Always remember Ian Duffus saying that day him and Joey braking hard for the corners they were side by side and Joey looking over at him and just letting the brakes of, you weren't going to beat him that day.
Andy Mullins me to what a duel between David Jeffries and Joey dunlop best race I've ever seen mate RIP to them both
No other road racer also was so kind to those disadvantaged in the world & also so loved as Joey Dunlop.
Thanks for posting this!!! What a legend!
Joey the absolute road race master so sad died too young will never be forgotten
Rip Dave
Rip Joey
And Gary Dynes
They didn't call him "Himself" for nothing. One of a kind and never to be duplicated,on the bike or off....
What was dynes riding that day?
That 500 v twin of loughers... 👌
What a ride Joey! Respect!
Joey couldnt put visor on helmet his heads were shaking that bad before this race and he looked at his boss and said im teaching dj a lesson and what did he do
Cleaned his clock 😂😂👌 on a 750. That's what he did
Epic duel between two of the greatest men ever on two wheels. Read somewhere Joey often became nervous before races , but once the race started , he settled into it no bother. He surely did school David that day.
Simple the best, and some brilliant commentary from keith too
This was just another day out for joey,tops r.i.p...ledgend x.
I can't ride like that but my everlasting respect for those who can!
Good commentary, epic race , clash of the titans.
bikes were moving that fast in 1999?
Dunlop was one of a kind.
The mass start makes this a very different race from the TT.
wont be seen again
The greatest road racer of all time.
what a legend.
King of the road 👑
Fantastic
What a race by the best
👍❤️✝️
Some going to keep up with them R1s at the time.

Joey is the best ever , Mc pint is next !

*quantifiable
ジョイ！ジョイ！ジョイ♪(⌒‐⌒)/
