the best in identifying the most effective trajectory at maximum speed, in anticipating the limiter, in dosing the gas, in downshifting two gears, in knowing how to do it even with the bike leaning, and the consequent sensitivity in opening when exiting. The Perfection. Never forgotten.
I really appreciate Joe Dunlop because he was one of those drivers who knew every part of the motorcycle. Apart from being a great driver, he was also very good mechanic. Joey is a knight of our times, when I think about how many hours he spent on the machine, driving close to the limit and curbs, I realize that he was on the edge all the time... but he loved it and we love him.
1st lap was fast until I seen the 2nd lap once he'd the tires warmed, that is a incredible video, why would anyone hit the dislike, this video is perfect, the sound, the sensation of speed, joey was the master of racing and life.
The knight of legends appears before you and takes his place at your shoulder for he knows you are his equal, As death shy's away, ever present but never quite as quick. The hero of the battlefield pushes the borders while all bow their heads in awe, Addiction to speed dodging death at every corner. Never to be forgotten.
I'm not a bike fan, but Joey was different class in every way. He made all those trips to orphanages in Romania with food and supplies. Yet he never attempted to publicise his work. My favourite story is told by an orphanage worker. Joey had arrived with the supplies and was feasting with the children. They were eating corned beef and baked beans. Joey was probably happier there than in a five star restraunt. Joey Dunlop, a fantastic biker, an even better human being.
the master at work! so, so smooth keeps the v four on the boil...inch perfect everywhere,first time i saw him race in fore,i knew i was watching a true road racer at work,thanks for the upload...wonderful to watch..and hear! keep her lit!
What a man, unbelievable ambassador for the whole country and for motorcycle racing. We will never see another joey dunlop. Made us all proud . Rip wee man
Impresionante demostracion...Cuando se juntan un piloto y un mecanico excepcionales el resultado no puede ser otro...El Rey eterno de las Road Races...
Joey Dunlop really was the best for that era. He just attacked every race with 100% commitment and understood every corner to perfection. There will be many legends like him to follow though his legacy will stretch on forever. A unique, humble individual that inspired many people around the world to follow their dreams.
Really great footage that. Joey could show a few modern racers a thing or too - especially on how to downshift. None of this hoofing it down through the box and letting a slipper clutch sort out the mess.
Simply wonderful - I grew up watching Joey and his relative-racers and rivals in the 70s. He really wound it up on the second lap of this video. Surprised though about the on-off throttle through one of the Quarry Bends (1 of the right-handers) - guess he was simply giving it everything and having to back off at times!
Keep coming back to watch this umpteen times,Love the sound of the RC 45 Love the Ulster sad how such a Loved track Graced by top Riders full of Legends over its History so WHY .SAVE the UGP .
Was at Portrush the day Big Frank fatally crashed. Lying in bed on a Friday night in the Fairhill I could hear the three boys testing there bikes up and down the Bushside road. Alwayd proud to have seen and supported the Armoy Armada gone but never forgotten.
Hi good info there! Cool to have been around there then? On the other hand probably not so much? I've heard so much about those sneaky test sessions on "The Bushside Road" but never saw it detailed as to where that actually was. The only road that seems to parallel the Bush river is the B15 Gracehill Road? Is there a "Bushside rd"? Or is that just a local name for the road alongside the Bush? Do you know the layout of their route? Seen some recent footage of Jim standing by a road up in the hills somewhere talking about the seruptitious testing runs. Any ideas?
I have riden bikes all my life and still wonder how he and they do this How the hell do you know when to start breaking yes i know land marks etc but just look at the god dam speed ????Also just look how quickly the throttle is opened after each bend joey you are truely my hero and always will be R.I.P. fella.............
GPs on 350s and 250s and he did the first season of WSB in 88' running 3rd until he pulled out for the road racing season. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joey_Dunlop#World_Superbikes_(WSBK)_1988
And Joey pulled a hat trick at the IOMTT two weeks before he died aged 48! No telling how many more wins Joey would have racked up had he lived. He sure as hell didn't show any signs of slowing down!
I don't know if John McGuiness can beat the TT wins record but Joey's nephew Michael with his 20th win this year is a serious client I think considering his age.

@Chris Turnbull r u 4 real
Aah, the immortal Joey Dunlop. The wizard. The master. The legend. The quiet genius. Never forgotten.
Never will we see another Joey Dunlop. #3 ❤️👍
A true 'Master At Work'. Never to be forgotten, but so sadly missed. Thanks for the brilliant memories Joey.
Smooth shifting, perfect lines, amazing acceleration. Overall, PERFECT.
The knight of legends appears before you and takes his place at your shoulder for he knows you are his equal,
As death shy's away, ever present but never quite as quick. The hero of the battlefield pushes the borders while all bow their heads in awe,
Addiction to speed dodging death at every corner. Never to be forgotten.
The master at work. So glad I got to watch the legend in person at a few early 80s nw200s and Tandragee 100s etc.
Poetry in motion my hero for many years... R.I.P. Big Man..
ah Joey , you were a different level . A master of your craft and a fantastic human to boot . RIP . Legend .

MY BELLY FEELS BUTTERFLIES EVERY GEAR CHANGE. JOEY DUNLOP FOREVER
Joey was just so silky, always the King
So glad I got to see him race so many times
How nice would it not be to have Joey about the place today. Incredible man, some man, some human being. #3
The guy was something special indeed. So skilled inch perfect. There's only 1 Joey Dunlop! R.I.P 🏁🏍💨🕊
the master at work! so, so smooth keeps the v four on the boil...inch perfect everywhere,first time i saw him race in fore,i knew i was watching a true road racer at work,thanks for the upload...wonderful to watch..and hear! keep her lit!

joey was the best.
King of the roads.....
He still is.
Poetry in motion! Soooo so smooth
So clean and smooth .. absolute legend Mr Dunlop! 🏁
Sounds like an RC30! What a perfect noise delivered by a legend!
The best there ever was. Smooth down to the very last downshift. He was a serious pilot
It never ages watching a genius at work.
So silky smooth, he made it look like a quick blow out down to his local shop to pick up some bread. A true master at work !!!!
Man and machine not missin a beat, yer maun was a legend
This looks like a practice. Still wonderful to be able to see on board none the less. His race craft and personality will be famous forever.
Joey Dunlop was a legendary rider!
Inch perfect every time, smooth like velvet. He makes it look so easy when most of us would be in hospital before the end of lap one
Before the end of lap one ???.....NOT my friend. !!!...after the second bend !!!!!
Best case scenario
My race would be over on the start line as I wouldn't drop the clutch
Really great footage that. Joey could show a few modern racers a thing or too - especially on how to downshift. None of this hoofing it down through the box and letting a slipper clutch sort out the mess.
One thing wrong with your comment. The RC45 he is riding had a "slipper clutch"..........
But he's manually blipping anyway. Didnt trust the slipper? Habit? Smoother still?
@@matt420740 I'm fairly sure this is a 250 two stroke (with quick shifter)
@@tonyshortland8812 listen to the engine on the video please, it's nothing other than the V4 four stroke, no two-stroke ever sounded like this
@@tonyshortland8812 get your hornby train set out
Joey is my hero.... An absolute legend....
A perfectionist at work👏👏
So precise and clean...

What the heck of a sound is that?
jesus, the engine peeling the limiter at 14.500 is just a sinphony.
Smooth as silk with the precision of a surgeon, that was Joey! Poetry in motion👌🏼Sadly missed but never forgotten
Mesmerised.....
Worked for some guys who raced roads.... Brindley's...... Much respect
My all time hero after dad and grandad
Joey Dunlop não só competia Joey Dunlop dava aula de motociclismo

You were he was he knew where he was on the track all of the time you can tell the way he rides
The perfect lap once the tyres are warmed up , I miss Joey !
Compare this practice run on camera to the practice run on camera in 1986 that Roger Marshal does and you will see why Joey was so good.
The king of real road racing ......long live the king
I'm very lucky to still own my dad's RC45.. 😍
Yes you are. Take care of it, she's quite a bike!
@John LEON yes you can get a HRC race kit for the 45 for 50 or 60k I think...
And for this legendary bastard this kind of pace was relaxing.
He makes it look so easy. When the bike is at 14,000 revs it sounds more like 5000 making it seem effortless to the engine.
Le premier tour est rapide, le second tour est du Joey Dunlop pur sang.
Que bonita suena esa moto.. Una delicia para los oídos.. Pilotada por el mejor de todos los tiempos...
joey dunlop the king of road racing .👍honda
Got a shock at 1:20, thought it was oncoming traffic, the way the light hit the screen))
KING JOEY!
1:08 for the few seconds .. Just look whats going on yet unphases, smooth and acceleration constant.
I miss you Joey
Bless him.
Jouy dunlop Will always be the best
He would thrash the big bikes and win then jump on to a delicate lightweight and win... an unreal talent !
Watching Joey round the hairpin and feed the power in while cranked over made me pregnant.
He wasn't a hero, or a legend. He was a God.
He was the best.
Rc 45 Honda V4 force... sounds good
King Joey!! My racing idol for TT races...only surpassed by the legendary Mike "the bike" Hailwood...
Legendary stuff
That's a nice ride,the Babe Ruth of motorcycle racing,never be another.
Passing that guy at Wheeler's is awesome!
The man.
Yer man!
I have riden bikes all my life and still wonder how he and they do this How the hell do you know when to start breaking
yes i know land marks etc but just look at the god dam speed ????Also just look how quickly the throttle is opened after each bend joey you are truely my hero and always will be R.I.P. fella.............
You should enter a spelling bee

@@allanhughes7859 I was talking to the person who corrected your spelling haha
@@michaeltoner1993 WELL THANK GOD FOR THAT L.O.L LETS GO RACING !!!!!
knew the course for sure
Guys, watch the second lap, it's insane
My Heroe
You cant look at this and find mistakes , the road is just so , dude wtf , thumbs up plus plus
Just perfect.
what a bike and pilot combination
Great ride . . .
I bet he didn't even look at the rev clock for the gear he know when to gear up by the engine sound 👍👍
Lovely!
That 2nd lap!!! Jesus wept.
Il più Grande. un vero Signore....
The greatest
Mr Dunlop was a better man than motorcycle racer
😅👌Prostě úžasný jezdec. Jak toho jezdce zahlídl v hledáčku ještě víc zrychlil. Kořist byla nadosah 🙂
❤️
Winner
This ladies and gentlemen , is how you ride the Ulster G. P
awesome.
Thanks Joey ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
oooft. Joey. what a craftsman. Once they (him and the bike and the tyres )get warm. Jesus. Like Jacqueline de Pres on a bike
Did he ever race on tracks that’s really awesome riding?
GPs on 350s and 250s and he did the first season of WSB in 88' running 3rd until he pulled out for the road racing season.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joey_Dunlop#World_Superbikes_(WSBK)_1988
When you google who is the best.... J.D. pops ups.
Love it!
HONDA V4 SOUND
250 two stroke isn't it?
As much as I respect John McGuiness i sincerely hope he never beats Joey's TT wins record. Joey Dunlop is the IOMTT.
And Joey pulled a hat trick at the IOMTT two weeks before he died aged 48! No telling how many more wins Joey would have racked up had he lived. He sure as hell didn't show any signs of slowing down!
I don't know if John McGuiness can beat the TT wins record but Joey's nephew Michael with his 20th win this year is a serious client I think considering his age.
Agreed but he has hinted he will stop at 26 out of respect. Mickey D is 21st Centuries Joey.
13 people dont like this...wtf is wrong with them?
What was this filmed on?? in 1995?
Looks better than most of the stuff filmed today on GoPros
Half a Sony Hi8 camcorder. I was the camera man. Very happy days.
Racing seemed so much better before traction control and tire warmers.
do you guys have any footage of 400 racing vfr400 nc30 rvf nc35? if so pls upload
Mint condition 👌
Did that thing just hit 14,5krpm? Wow.
Back in the days of the "manual blipper"
