" Stumbled across this lovely two-part 'tube of Joey Dunlop preparing for the 1977 Cookstown 200. Obviously, Yer Maun ragged it around public roads clobbered only in jeans and T-shirt to get the feel of the Ulster asphalt. You could do that in "
Joey Dunlop, Isle of Man , 1983
We’re loving this onboard from Joey Dunlop around the Isle of Man in 1983. But as well as the always amazing images of Joey ‘keeping it lit and between the hedges’, here is the brilliantly cool, calm and understated Ulster tones of yer maun himself.
Stay with this footage for some hilarious repartée between Joey and the journalist as he sits, gobsmacked, while Joey comments on how ‘careful’ you have to be through this or that particular section.
Really inspiring stuff from the man who walked the walk and never bothered to talk the talk too much.

Fantastic footage about a great bike rider. Thank you.
I’ve been to IOM 14 times and seen the great man many times, pure genius. Look how fast he passes the other riders and they are not hanging about!!!
thank you Joe…
