1987 Isle of Man TT - Formula One Race

Full 1987 TT Review on DVD available here - bit.ly/Socone
1987 saw the TT celebrate its 80th anniversary. And in Action Man you can vividly see how, 80 years on, the TT has lost none of the magic for which it has always enjoyed worldwide renown.
50,000 race fans came from all over the world in 1987 to enjoy the ultimate pilgrimage and millions more wished they could be there.
Featuring 'King of the Roads' Joey Dunlop, Geoff Johnson, and Phil Mellor.

I loved Joey's comments on his videoed lap. "You have to be careful here" while going around a bend at 180mph.
Anyone who wins a TT is a champion.
Anyone who wins 26 TT's is a road racing god.

I was there that year....I remember they Helicoptered in the Magnesium HRC carbs for Joey's Honda 6X ....then they flew them back to Japan for someone else to race with....they were so special.......but you gotta Love those Big Suzuki's too....
Joey is a Legend.....but Marshall and Mellor etc deserve more recognition sometimes I think.

[@animalcol1]

I agree. They were unlucky to race at the same time as Joey for silverware, but very lucky to have shared a track with such genius

[@jackdejohnette2810]

awesome times, maybe the greatest era of road racing

[@triumphdave2449]

I was there that year, Dunlop and Mellor, RIP my hero's.

[@tpctransport1449]

[@moriwaki1105]

To live a life.....doing the thing you Love.....to become the Greatest at that thing.....for everyone to Love and Respect you .....and to die in an instant doing that thing which you Love so much....is The Most Perfect Life of all.

OMG, Joey, dead, Phil Mellor, dead and Geoff Johnson dead as well. RIP these lads, heroes each and everyone of them, seen these lads race many times in the past, I think Phil was the first to go in 1989? 1300 proddy race on a GSXR1100

[@birdiges]

Wow, my first litre bike was a pre exup FZR1000 in those exact Loctite colours, 1988 model. It had a full Cobra stainless exhaust with a Dynojet carb kit. I loved that bike. It was crazy loud on the street though.

[@lightningmcdweeb]

whyd you sell it

[@Baltimoreborn]

1987 I wanted to be Joey Dunlop or Stephen Roche bicycles were cheaper so I became a bicycle road racer
