We lost one of the all time greatest Isle of Mann TT riders Joey Dunlop whom ironically was not killed riding a large capacity machine but a smaller one.
I remember the funeral and the absolute masses of of people whom turned out Est at 50,000 such was the status of the person.
I place him in the league of Agostini and Fangio those other great motor sportsman as no one could make a bike talk like Joey Dunlop.
I remember watching "V4 Victory" when he rode around the Isle of Mann with a ruddy great camera on the tank which he said made the bike handle not so well.
But it gave you the first person view of a 180MPH wheelie and racing through the glen's where the light transition was seen to be believed.

Its worth to note he beat the Yamaha R1's on the RC-45 Honda (SP-1) when the Yammie was the faster machine and had an extra 2 pots a inline 4 V's a V2.
The vid is worth watching all the way its not long and the least one can do for one of the greatest.
R.I.P Joey.
