Joey Dunlop 👑 Tribute best champions of the 🌍

[@uuutwohere]

People throw that word legend around far to freely in my opinion. Every half decent footballer or singer is being called a legend now-a-days but for me a legend isn't just somebody who is at the top of his or her profession. For me they need to have that all round package and i think most people reading this would agree that Joey had that in spades. His modesty, his humility and his charity are just some of the traits in my book that made him the absolute LEGEND that he was and still is. There are very few people in this world that when every time i see their picture it brings a big smile and a happy warm feeling over me. Being a Irishman it makes me very proud to know he was one of our own, but we all know he was truly loved the world over. May he and his brother Robert and nephew William all rest in peace. It's a brutal sacrifice for one family to have to endure. I don't know if knowing they died doing something they truly loved makes it any easier for their loved ones to cope but i really hope it helps them.

Legend is everything that is posthumously remembered. And so is Joey.

[@BilobateDrip]

People do that in football and basketball because its main fan base is basic minded people who put way too much hype on everything now. In the racing world, we are gentlemen. There is respect, humility, and honor in our little 200 mph world. The average racer has a respect for life that most people never know

[@allanhughes7859]

At 71 still crying and not ashamed to say so !!!!!!!!

[@klaseronen7535]

Just like our hometown hero Jarno Saarinen, Joey also worked on his bikes. I followed Joey since I was a kid in the late 1970s. Joey, Robert, William: you will never be forgotten, rather always remembered with warmth and affection. Thank you for all the wonderful memories. Lots of love from Finland also to the Dunlop family and their friends.

[@Baltimoreborn]

The scene at the end of the video with Joey changing his front wheel is so powerful considering what happened in the race RIP a great man

[@professorplums722]

​​@@nickynackDid you watch this video? Apologies, I am from this man's town, he poured me pints of Harp in his pub at a time, pre train to Portrush for fun and games. He died in that race. I was at his funeral to Garryduff Church.

[@stealthkiwi1869]

I remember seeing him at the Pukekohe race track here in New Zealand, just walking about in the crowd no fuss, I said to my brother wow that's Joey Dunlop, he was our hero!

[@ragnarironspear1791]

Not was is a hero and the greatest road racers of all time

[@WHU63]

Joey was unique. He went to the very top of his sport but remained the same shy guy he had always been. Every year he took a van load of food and supplies to Romanian orphans. One of their carers took a photo of him eating corned beef and beans with the poor kids. He didn't even ask for his charity efforts to be publicised. The man was a true legend.

[@johnmorrison3291]

Great ambassador for northern Ireland a true legend

[@geoffnelson6756]

As Michael Rutter said, Joey is still with us, just glad that I witnessed the yellow helmet flashing through the hedges, no other rider in history has gained the respect and love from fans, and the public who have no interest in sport, Joey is someone we should all look up to an amazing human being.

[@canismajorconservative8094]

RIP JOEY DUNLOP .... THIS NAME WILL ALWAYS BE PLACED AT THE SUMMIT OF TRUE CHAMPIONS OF SPEED. HE WILL RACE ON IN OUR MEMORIES ... ... ...

[@MrTimeXTime]

No More a Man Deserves My Respect and Admiration. Joey was Why I Ride

[@toddmartin6572]

All hail the mighty Dunlop family!!! Bless all you.. rip

[@paulhebblethwaite7168]

Visited Joeys Bar and the Memorial Garden last Sunday. Total respect to the big man, his brother and nephew.

[@allanhughes7859]

Never ever has a song matched a human being in such a way... Never ever has a human being been such as our Joey and I say our with the greatest respect !! Just loved this human in so so many ways kept me going in very hard times thanks joey thanks so so much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope you are ta peace where you are !!!!!!!!!!!

[@therealleonidas229]

I Remember that Day watching it on TV in Dublin everyone was Crying it was so Sad RIP Joey Dunlop King of the Road in Britain and Ireland ☘

[@robdickie9215]

Such a humbled lovable gentleman just knew how to ride a motorcycle faster than anyone else in the world but didn't enjoy the fame just pure raw talent, ride that highway in the sky joey see you one day x

[@m_zbrv3967]

We all want to hug him and say we missed him 😢

[@michelbernard9676]

hello Joe, you are still the best of the best, French bikers from the south of France still miss you, rip abd god bless you,

[@quantum5652]

Reading the book about Robert Dunlop at the moment, Full Throttle, great read. Realized today marks 20 years to the day since Joey tragically crashed and died. Growing up in his area he was akin to Pele or Ali in terms of greatness. An all-time legend from a legendary racing family. RIP Joey, you showed the world how to race.

[@richardmcclay5651]

Brings Tears to my eyes,,Road Racers are real men men,,

There's just something about Joey... Just look at the footage of his funeral procession... It just cuts to the core the emotion... This song guts me every time I listen to it... RIP JD.

[@cecilwilson5442]

Top job for a top man not many words usually but plenty of action from him on the motorcycle way it should be his riding didn't need words truly great ambassador for Northern Ireland and road racing around the world sadly missed by all 🍀❤️

[@biloute53ptite35]

A great champion and a great man, a legend RIP Joey

[@andrew097]

I remember reading the letters about Joey in Motorcycle Weekly for a year after he died. Just stories from ordinary people about him having a chat over a coffee in some motorway stop. A bit of advice offered, working on a bike overnight a casual nod of recognition in a paddock. Everything superstars would never do but legends will.

[@MrWigV25]

This guy was unbelievable and very fast we all miss you ..

[@bluebee7689]

Remember it like it was yesterday. Race in paradise Joey. Legends never die

[@bluebee4346]

A tear in my eyes. A real hero. Sadly missed

[@domelxx8379]

My hero Good bless your soul and all warriors who went with you

[@Cali7227]

Real nice tribute to a real hero of the roads. 👍

[@gerardguitarist]

Not sure most people have any idea what these lads do on that TT Circuit among others. Going really fast is one thing, but when there are hundreds of changes in the dynamics of the pavement at 180 plus mph it's just a different world for lack of better words to describe the ride. They are getting slammed around and it must be sheer terror when the bike bottoms out and comes back up off the road and there is basically no control for a second or three. I want to go there so bad. One day. Have to take my bike though. Big dream. Joey was so fearless. It's amazing. And such a cool cat also. Everyone tells of what a gentleman he was. That says it all. RIP JD.

[@jacobjohnston4571]

Gone but not forgotten

[@SuperStevie70]

What a man,fame never changed him,remember as a kid him riding in the mid Antrim and working on his bikes in the pits,that’s when you go go anywhere on the tracks LEGEND

[@charlienevin293]

R.I.P Joey dunlop we aĺl miss you 😭

[@luisgiber9757]

Exelente material ! Un grande entre los grandes !! Dunlop...disfruta el cielo acelerando por las nubes !! No olvides poner las de lluvia si la pista se pone gris !! Te buscare cuando sea mi tiempo de acelerar a tu lado . Mientras tanto seguiré acelerando mi Kawa ...q dios te de la misma gloria q aquí te has ganado vos !!!

[@WHU63]

Valentino Rossi rode a lap of the IOM TT and said that it eas too dangerous...The TT is too difficult. If you make a mistake,maybe its your last mistake. Yet Joey Dunlop won 26 races there over a 25 year period. Rossi was a genius rider. Joey was a total legend. Hes still one.

[@Team-fabulous]

19 years ago our hero was taken. Ride on Joey.....

[@robertbachelor6993]

You were the best Joey Dunlop.i know you're out there somewhere.

[@suffern63]

I choke up every time I watch this.Never forgotten.

[@frantrictantric]

Bumped into him whilst on walkabout on the Island. He was on crutches nursing a broken leg so was out of the racing that year. He was extremely humble, quietly spoken and had the time of day for everyone. Great bloke and rider sadly missed.

[@kawi704racing]

That was one of the best tributes I've ever seen. So sad, and so well done. You're never closer to life until you're on the knife's edge of death.

[@melaniemullan1040]

Used to wait for Joey to go past my parents house at the North West as a child, he is the reason I ride. You dont know what you have lost untill it's gone. RIP wee man.

[@bernardkavanagh3528]

Beautiful tribute thank you.

Just add , I was at Joeys funeral,! Again God Bless, Joey, RIP, man,! I was born 23rd May 1968,

look at john mcguinness face at 1.12 in total all of his hero! and on his way of becoming a road racing legend himself!! true legends rip joey

[@columkenn]

I hadn't noticed that. Nice picture of them both together. What year was that?

[@darinmccuistion6662]

What makes Joey the absolute in my opinion 100% the best Rider ever to hit the tarmac in Ireland Britain and the world I don't even care if he's not raced in US he's the absolute best he is not just because of his riding ability although that would be enough but it's also because of his heart of gold. I don't know that you would ever talk to anyone that's ever crossed his path or had a conversation with them that wouldn't tell you the absolute same what a wonderful human being Joey Dunlop was he just happened to be a motorcycle road racer. May you rest in peace and thank you so much for being such an incredible example to me and the rest of the world will truly be missed.

What makes arai helmets look cool is you look a little like Joey in them. What makes my VFR1200F sound cool is it 7000rpm the exhaust flapper opens and the bike sounds like the footage I’ve watched of Joey on the TT on the Honda V4. Long live the Dunlop’s 🙏🏻
