And like his dad's accident, the bikes let William down, you could not make it up with that oil from the sump spraying on that back wheel at that important moment, a little sooner or later no problem. What can you say!
@@gerrywhelan5761 the sump got ripped off from bottoming out on main straight not really bikes fault just an unfortunate thing the belly pan is all that protects the sump plug
@@MrGixxernut Have they not got a sump guard, specially if there was a possibility of it bottoming out, and don't they have bump stops on the suspension as well and because of them i can't bottom out my bike, of all the races i have seen i never have seen sparks coming from the bottom of those road racers or them bottoming out, race cars yes but with bikes you can' afford that. Some say the oil nut got loose, others a seal weakness, a cracked sump, but the sump been ripped of because of it bottoming out i doubt.
@@gerrywhelan5761 sorry I meant sump plug as in the bolt you unscrew to drain oil got ripped off , bottom of baggarow on tt course , top lads bottom out trough there all the time ,
Never met the man, but instant lump in my throat when I saw William. Feel so connected to you guys, no media Stars, just lads going racing. Joey would be so proud of you, I am sure.
This is a superb bit of documentary film making, very professional and insightful. Reminds me a lot of the sort of film making from 40-50 years ago when long takes on the subject was all you needed, before background music and constantly switching camera angles became 'essential'. Quality.
This is a beautiful piece of documentary making. I love the nods to The Road Racers but this is very much it's own unique take on the art of capturing the whole experience of road racing.
Brilliant love that especially first 20 seconds when you see Michael going down that country road brilliant angle how fast these guys go thanks uploader 👌
My favourite “rider” is Guy Martin, but my favourite “racer” will always be Michael Dunlop. Aggressive and relentless. Absolute favourite. Hope he ends his career safely and can find peace in flying or something! William seemed such a quiet gentle guy.
Only just found this. Thanks Richard its absolutely brilliant and as soon as I saw the name Dunlop it got a thumbs up before I even watched it. Boy it hurt to see William as I met him several times and he was a great lad.😢
I'm 30 and love Superbikes as they do. In hoping to ride the isle of man atleast one time in my life. RIP WILLIAM. Atleast he died doing what he loved.
Great video tinged with extreme sadness that William was taken so young. Personally I would like to see Michael stop, he’s got absolutely nothing left to prove or win, he’s a bona fide legend and history will write him as arguably the fastest man ever to race down the lanes, I just want to see it written when his career is ended not his life.! RIP William.
I don’t know why people give Michael a hard time?? Every time I’ve met him, he’s always has had time for me and anyone else that’s about! He just looks a bit stern when in race mode. I’m for anyone that road races, hope he keeps winning but going to be hard with Hickman about??
A lot of people mistake Michael's confidence and drive for arrogance. They might also be comparing Michael to John McGuiness, Guy Martin and Peter Hickman who come off as more affable. Despite that I've heard nothing but good things from people who've spent time in Michael's company - it would appear that many people have simply misread Michael's personality.
Exceptionally talented family, unfortunately coupled with imence heartbreak and tragedy. Found the part with William hard to watch, thank you for uploading a great insight into the lads lives. Past and present the Dunlop name will live on long after I am gone. ❤
Lamentablemente, carreras de muy poca difusion...Y es entendible que no se promocionen mucho, cualquiera de estos pilotos que participan en estas carreras, deja en ridiculo a todos los pilotos de cualquier categoria del mundo, sea F-1 o Moto GP...Lo que hacen estos muchachos es sencillamente de otro planeta..
So much hard work and dedication in one family, and three of the worlds greatest road racing riders killed. At least they died doing what they loved, but I can't imagine how hard it must be for those they left behind. I respect Michael so much for keeping up the game, even though he knows so well what the consequense might be. I wish him all the best for the rest of his career - Lord knows he earned it!
You just learn a thing every lap. Brake a yard later, carry a couple of MPH. The thing about MD that is totally mind blowing is his skill in wet or damp conditions. I recall one TT where the race was red flagged. All the other riders thought the Dunlop brothers were insane as they were only a couple of MPH off lap records Here in NI we have rain most of the time, slurry and diesel on roads. We had a race weekend every weekend up until Covid. This is how they learned their trade.
@@BrianBell4073 finally got tickets booked after years of wanting to get to Ireland from Australia, was so excited to get to see William and Michael race, I arrived two weeks after William passed away. Devastated.. But the racing was unbelievable...Faugheen, Armoy and the ugp.
Those seconds of black, without any noise are moments, where 21th century people will quit this video. I was worried, what is wrong?! Apart from that: this is very great!
Micheal's autobio is a really cracking read......so down to earth and truthful, with no airs or graces. Would love to go for a night out on the piss with him. So sad that William was taken so young, a great loss to the Dunlop family, and to road racing.
I know I should not say this but it was good to see Michael cringe as I would when that chap explained his injuries This also goes to show how brave these lads are when they themselves know what can happen Veru good up load and makes you realize they are also human after all !!! As others have said R.I.P. to the Brothers who are no longer with us The Dunlop family are something really special to all us mere mortals who think we can ride God bless them and the families and don't be scared of haning the boots up it would be done with no shame whatsoever Take care and stay safe and that goes to all bikers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome. They do it for the sheer thrill. Such brave real men. Cannot commend them enough. And for entertaining us mere mortals. Michael’s book, “Road Racer” most definitely a read..
I’m glad I watched this because I have Always thought Mike was such an arrogant, selfish person over the years. I believe now it comes from confidence and just his personality. Joey and William both will always be remembered
Legend and wow what a talent. Sad but they lived there lives nice. I have raced 7 years in sweden and i miss it but now at 40 plus you are just in pain and tired
I say this in the kindest and the most respectful way I can say this it's time you stopped and thought about your family you have done enough just be careful mate just be careful
Michael Dunlop and guy martin racing eachother Is absolutely brill
RIP Joey, RIP Robert, RIP William not forgetting Wilson Craig.
Dunlops - Road racing royalty.. still hard to believe William is also gone, RIP lad
And like his dad's accident, the bikes let William down, you could not make it up with that oil from the sump spraying on that back wheel at that important moment, a little sooner or later no problem.

As would William and Michael's Dad, Robert, who tragically died in 2008.
🥺🥺
oooolllooooooll
22 years yesterday since we lost Joey......never will any Dunlop be forgotten xx
Miss William at the TT, he was a nice man and my wife's favourite rider, a true gentleman.
A total bunch of absolute alpha males. Balls like church bells. What an amazing family.
Brilliant, there must be so much footage out there that has never been seen.

That’s actually a very good point. I hate modern over-produced guff
"this thing wouldn't pull the knickers off yer sister let alone anything else" lol
no words all said below..... unequivocal genius both film and subjects.
One of the greatest videos ever made in his house No story just the real truth much respect.

michael definitely more aggressive although i always thought william was the more talented racer

Met them both total legends in the sport , the likes will never be seen again , r.i.p William
Michael is in a class of his own. I got total respect for him. Had the pleasure of meeting him a couple of times in 2017
Total respect to the Dunlop family they have won so much and lost so much but racing is in the blood hats off to them all
Michael,the real raw hero, i wish you all the best,a lots of victories, Allways the one too watch,, love onboard fotages
Brilliant video. Loved the bit where William says he wanted on his pitboard to know about Michael - goosebumps moment really.
I've met Michael a few times and he's a awesome guy same as William Robert and Joey . Under to earth brilliant family
Wonderful insight into the lives of Michael and the late, great William.
Brilliantly shot and perfectly edited - exactly how it should be done.
Dunlop's ,absolute legends ,kings of road racing,I'm sure there tareing around heaven on motorbikes right now,thanks for the memories,R.I.P
I'd doubt they are in fairness
Excellent video, there's not another family like it 👍
The dunlops are the reason that I got into bikes. Just watching them was enough for me. Legends.
I'm 30 and love Superbikes as they do. In hoping to ride the isle of man atleast one time in my life. RIP WILLIAM. Atleast he died doing what he loved.
AC/DC playing in the background ? Awesome . Very interesting video . Saw William race at Cookstown 100 sadly no more
RIP William, top guy
Legends. Go Michael dunlop

Yes. Time to hang up the leathers boyo. NO MORE
Nope still winning.

@@davefloyd9443 ahh i get it now no hope in the world of catching joey is there especially with hicky around atm.
Road Racing Team..a thing of beauty...all the best MD you deserve it..
That was awesome and sad at the same time. Thanks.
An absolute pleasure to watch thank you
Майкл ! У тебя железные яйца, респект и уважение!
Them wee lads have no idea how cool those hats really are I hope they both still have em proudly displayed somewhere
Good men! R.I.P. William!❤️
Such a very modest man.....someone you could warm to very easily.....👍
great family loyalty to road racing.they will go down in history.
Lovely man William and sadly missed in racing, my wife's favourite racer of all time.

It was fantastic hearing the brothers race with one another in real life. Gave me a big jolt seeing then dive into the apexs. Well done fellas!
what can i say brilliant a great insite to the Dunlops
Such a great insight as to how much teamwork there is. Thank you 🙏
R.i.P William 😞

Lord doesn’t knows nothing y’all are the descendants of Esau.
No matter how many times I see Isle of Man footage I always struggle to get my head around how they go so fast on an open road.

I love your family ❣️ ผมชอบครอบครัวของพวกคุณ ครอบครัวพวกคุณทำให้หลงรักความเร็ว Neverdie🤘🏍️

Unlimited passion 🏍
Amazing watch
Great footage, extremely watchable. TT 2022 come on!!!
Nice one. Thanks for sharing, mate.
Fantastic video , thank you for sharing
I’ve read about Formula One racers, fighter pilots…but these guys are a different species.
met him there in mondello nice lad
William 🥺💜💔
Love and respect to all the racers.
Really enjoyed that
when he on that monster bike, it became a easy driving kitten

Wow this was cool
Awesome. They do it for the sheer thrill. Such brave real men. Cannot commend them enough. And for entertaining us mere mortals.

You'd think I'm doing alright on this bike today until Michael screamed by
I’m glad I watched this because I have Always thought Mike was such an arrogant, selfish person over the years. I believe now it comes from confidence and just his personality. Joey and William both will always be remembered
Legend and wow what a talent. Sad but they lived there lives nice. I have raced 7 years in sweden and i miss it but now at 40 plus you are just in pain and tired
Obviously hurting like hardly able to get his leg up over the bike on his own. Yet doesnt affect his riding one bit. ALIEN! Down right Beast

this is ace
I say this in the kindest and the most respectful way I can say this it's time you stopped and thought about your family you have done enough just be careful mate just be careful
#stfu pussy
R I P Boys 🙏🏽
Road racing is northern Ireland's national sport. More follow it than football.
those kids who got williams autograph must be devastated, such a shame.
Shit man seeing William in the first part of the vid 😔🙏🏻🕊
Mint condition 👌
Wasn’t this filmed around the same time as the closer to the edge documentary
The word LEGEND gets overused. Not here though. Proper no bullshit Road Racers. Class.
If this is what makes him happy who are we to tell him stop even though his Family has suffered so much loss, I just hope there is no more.
Great film but the black screen pauses between sections are far too long and I keep thinking it's ended. Very strange!
Najjačih prvih 20 sec ikad
What bikes that the start ?
Joey Dunlop: 'is the tyre bald?'
Michael Dunlop: 'How will the tyre wear affect the traction and anti-wheelie electronic gizmo bollocks?'
Thought I was watching something newer then saw William. I wonder how long ago this was.
This is really Nice too look at. Just only following it without other stuff
Nr1 Dunlop M
Fabulous insight. Fascinating but sad.
Rip William
What race is it .
Irish Road Circuits (various) and a bit of the TT.
Footballers on thousands a week these men risk their lives not forced I know but come on these guys should be worshipped
Who’s back watching 2021 😎
2022
Christ they ride quicker in the rain than most of us do in the dry
Sorry ,buts a donedeal that Mickey is going to make the TT Number 1 in the next couple of YEARS .Guaranteed.....
