When Joey Dunlop, undisputed master of the Isle of Man TT, was killed in July 2000, some 50,000 well-wishers attended the funeral, which was broadcast live on Irish television. For the mourning motorcycle road race fans, he was akin to royalty. Mac McDiarmids biography about the modest Ulsterman - packed with anecdotes, photographs and race information - has sold 19,000 copies since being published in hardcover in May 2001. ...a moving read, not just a race account The Daily Telegraph. There is no better qualified author for this work Biking Times. A wealth of wonderful photographs...tells the full story of the greatest road racer and a very special man Top Gear

Joey Dunlop, His Authorized Biography February 25, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've been a subscriber to Cycle News in the US for many years. My original subscription was for Cycle News East, for those who know, this was quite a few years ago. Before cable TV my only information conserning moto racing on the "Continent" was through these pages. My only connection to racing on "The Island" was through a man by the name of Eddie Labelle, a well respected racer himself in his community, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA who spoke quite respectfully of these races. I knew absolutely nothing about Joey Dunlop. I remember receiving my copys of Cycle News through the time that Joey Dunlop was providing so many people in the world with his special talent. There would be small bits of information that claimed "Joey" wins another one! I still knew nothing about Joey Dunlop. I remember reading about Mike The Bike in retrospect articles, and in Motocourse. I followed the FIM Moto Circus through articles I've read from 79 until now and could tell you about most racers of the time, but I still knew nothing about Joey Dunlop.
I still do not know Joey, but I think I know Himself much better than I did before purchasing this book. Do yourself a favor and get to Know Joey by purchasing this book. You will not only help yourself by knowing...... well, Joey, but you will also be helping his family as all of the proceeds from the sale of this book goes directly to his family. This is a resrectful man that we all need to know.
Factual and nicely produced September 20, 2002

This is a factual review of Joey Dunlop's career. It is a very nicely produced hard back with great photos. It is probably a must for any Joey Dunlop fan. However, it is not anywhere near as absorbing or personal as "Joey Dunlop, A Tribute" by author and TT winner Ray Knight. Now that is a fabulous book!!!!
You cannot get it on Amazon yet 9/2002, but you can get it at [URL]Keep the shiny side up!
