[@jasonemery2155]

remember recording this off BBC 2 if memory serves on the vcr, great to see the old bikes ,RD's slabsides ect.

[@madeljacky]

14:52 I was at the Ulster Grand Prix in 1987 when Klaus Klein was killed, remember him vividly as he had red and white leathers and a red and white Yamaha bike with Hein Gericke on the fairing, the red and white stood out from all the other riders at the time.

[@davidpatterson9107]

Remember that too Aquaplaning on FLying Kilo .RIP

[@formbyuke181]

brilliant video.Joey was an absolute one off !!! I used to go round to his garage at Douglas Quay Side and watch him work on his bikes.He used to be drinking Guinness out of cans litterally hours before his practise sessions or even races.Id be looking at bikes literally stripped down to the bare frames that had to be put back together within hours of them being flat out on the TT course.What a one off Legend !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@bradford_shaun_murray]

0:35 Guinness or fuel - didn't matter to Joey lol.

[@bradford_shaun_murray]

0:00 Iron Maiden, Saxon, Judas Priest etc, i bet those spectator guys were into those bands. They have that vibe 1986 style when metal was king.

Thanks for uploading this, this is the first I've seen or heard of Conor McGinn since I visited him in hospital shortly after his crash. Amazing fella and really wished we'd managed to stay in touch

I laughed when the commentator said "you have to understand that the TT rider speaks a different language from you or I" I was wondering why I couldn't understand a word Joey Dunlop said!

It's a very sad thing when one of the riders get killed.Sometimes I just don't know how their family members who also ride just carry on.I suppose they know the risks and as they all say it's like drug and they are also risky.

[@karlknudson4991]

thats all nobel and honorable in the hearts and minds of the riders but what about them little girls of dobsy ,they will never see dad again ,is that fair to them or his widow?i think this might be the case senario with joey ,he was hurting the day he was killed according to the commentator ,his finger was cut off and he was feeling all of his wrecks that his whole carear manifested ,in the rain he was a grip ahead of mcguiness ,mcguiness was ,is no slow poke rider ,he has won more tt races than any other alive rider,and joey was long ways in front of him ,riding like there was no tomorrow.and then there wasnt.never heard of joey before this last couple of years ,i became intrigued by this race ,the tourest trophy .but i am in awe of this charater joey dunlop ,he was me exactly like i live my life on the cusp of the edge of abyss,joey my hats off to ya there partner.heela good riding you put down threw the years ,and sounded like you did some hella good partieing as well,good show mate ,dam good show,wished i could of had the pleasure of geting to know you and go riding with you ,im knoing i couldnt keep up ,but id giver my best poke at it ,wonder if you would of been throwing a leg over that new h2 next year in the tt?

[@mateagoston7113]

+formbyuke181 They don't see the bigger picture, but the main problem is that they don't see that the TT is not necessary at all to get killed or kill somebody accidentally with a vehicle. If they ban every road race then rush will be continued in traffic which would be even worse. Speed addicted people will never disappear from Earth and they need road races (unfortunately most of countries banned it) because built race tracks are nowhere compared to public roads. This kind of addict is like addicted to singing or acting, they don't want to kill anybody, just enjoy the speed and racing.

thats not true they hope it doesnt happen to them so that tells u

You probably think different when you get killed by pony like Reid.

Great vid!!! TT forever!!!

[@michaelstephen819]

Great documentary - brings back so many memories. Dunlop, Grant, Marshall... But just as Hailwood and Sheene tried to kill the TT, then Formula was killed off by superbikes. It's amazing this type of racing has survived.

[@theant9821]

Michael Stephen i know sheene wasn't keen but hailwood was the tt man, then 11 years later he came back to show he still was.

[@christopherth]

The ANT I’m in total agreement, some people are just ignorant

[@kasperkjrsgaard1447]

Agostini and Phil Read were strongly against the TT - allthough Read returned when the starting money were raised. Sheene was never a fan of the TT.

[@MrSmegfish]

Hailwood was a TT great and Sheena tried the TT but didn't like the risk factor.Too say they worked against the race is nonsense.

you have more chance of being killed in a car than racers have of on the mountain circuit. They know the risks and like everything in life you dont know whats going to happen.
