The Man Who Raced with the Yellow Helmet

Post by PCX150Rider »

When someone hears "Isle of Man TT" it usually brings about an instant recollection of the guy who raced with the yellow helmet. . .Joey Dunlop.

Here's a link to a YouTube video you may be interested in watching. . .send out for a pizza. . .it's a long one.

Robert Dunlop, who died in the 250cc qualifier at the North West 200 in May of 2008, will long be remembered as well for trying to keep up with his older brother Joey throughout his racing career. . .

Their sons carry on the racing tradition.

Robert's sons, Joey's nephews.
I read this article recently about Joey's son Gary. http://www.motorcyclenews.com/sport/tt- ... oad-race-/

And there is another story here. http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sport ... 73700.html

Gary is older now and was running the pub after a brief go at racing in the early 2000's. He paused from racing for over a decade. The articles above were dated around this time last year. I originally thought it was just Michael and William who continued to race as well until I read the publications.

Joey's Bar Racing continues on. . .
