With a foreword by Carl Fogarty 'A worthy and fitting tribute to
the King of the Roads' - Irish News Joey Dunlop's story is one of
towering triumphs and desperate tragedies in almost equal measure.
Born poor - dirt poor - with no running water, no electricity, he
was the definition of the everyman hero, in what must be considered
one of the world's most extreme sports - motorcycle road racing. He
remains the most loved and most successful road racer of all time.
Joey Dunlop won the hearts and minds of millions during his
thirty-one-year career, culminating in the year 2000 at the Isle of
Man TT when, grey-haired and bespectacled, he cemented his
reputation as the greatest TT rider in history by regaining the F1
crown for the first time in twelve years. But in road racing,
tragedy is never very far away. Joey lost his life in an accident
in July of 2000. It was just weeks after his final TT victory. More
than 60,000 people attended Joey's funeral. Over twenty years on,
the sport has never truly recovered. Every motorcycling lover knows
the legend of Joey Dunlop but now, for the first time, they can get
to know the man himself. This definitive new biography is by turns
hilarious, triumphant and tragic; it is Dunlop's story as it has
never been told before - by those who were part of it.
