Product Description
Synopsis
Joey Dunlop was born in Ballymoney, County Antrim, on 25 February 1952. His first ambition was to be an army man, but when he purchased his first bike at the age of 16, his passion for the sport superceded everything else in his life. He quickly went on to become one of the most exciting riders ever seen, drawing huge crowds to the Isle of Man TT races in particular. His racing career began in 1969, and his yellow helmet and number three bike became synonymous with high-octane wins. Joey was affectionately known to his legion of fans as the "King of the Roads", but there was more to this rider than racing. He received an MBE for his motorcycling prowess but he also received an OBE for the many single-handed relief trips he ran to Albania and the Balkans, bringing food, clothing and supplies to war-torn areas. On 2nd July 2000, the 48-year-old Dunlop crashed during a race in the former Soviet Republic of Estonia. A few years earlier he had lost a finger in a crash on the same circuit; this time he lost his life, shocking the sporting world. This comprehensive work takes a broad look at his eclectic life.
