Joey Dunlop King of the Roads 10th Anniversary Edition (HB) Signed Copy - Description
Full colour pictorial tribute, with captions signed by the author Stephen Davison
This lovingly updated tribute captures Joey in action, his triumphant racing moments, with his family, on his relief missions to Romania. A fitting record of one of the greatest motorcyclists the sport has ever seen.
Joey's racing career began in 1969, and his yellow helmet and number three bike became synonymous with high-octane wins, but there was more to this rider than racing. He received an MBE for his motorcycling prowess - his racing record remains unsurpassed. But he also received an OBE for the many single-handed relief trips he ran to Romania and the Balkans, bringing food, clothing and supplies to wartorn areas.
On 2 July 2000, the forty-eight-year old Dunlop crashed during a race in Estonia. The sporting world was shocked. His funeral was attended by 50,000 people.
