Time For Tea? Joey Dunlop On The Isle Of Man
Take a tea-break with 10 minutes of awesome TT on-board footage
There's not really much to say about this on-board video of Joey Dunlop tackling the famous Isle of Man TT course in 1983.
Legendary man, legendary course, legendary footage. And some brilliantly laconic commentary Mr Dunlop himself to accompany it all.
(A tip of the hat to the fine folks at Adrian Flux's Influx magazine, from whom we half-inched this video).

How long before <insert fast car here>comments about lapping quicker
classic, the complete lap was on wide screens at the bike show that year, and was a first for (relative) good quality on board footage of a quick TT lap; Hislop's camera lap a decade later unofficially broke the outright lap record, and was startlingly quick; but nothing beats Yer Mans comments 'it's a bit bumpety through here' being my understated favourite..26 TT wins still the most succesful TT rider of all time.
Top guy and the ultimate modest real world, working mans hero
RIP King of the Mountain Joey

I've watched that clip hundreds of times and it is the very reason I gave up fast bikes. I thoguht I could ride well but until you witness the God of the Mountain, I never knew just how inadequate I really was!
So calm, and modest, but totally focussed. Such a shame he's not here anymore.

God Bless him
one of the greatest men ever around the Island.
Sadly missed, I still remember where I was when I heard. one of the greatest men ever around the Island.
I think that a lot of his charity work went unnoticed.
I was just getting into bikes in the days when him and David Jeffries were battling it out at the TT and NW200.
Awesome stuff! 2 big losses those guys.
PS How lazy do those old bikes sound now?!
