Summary: An entertaining retrospective of a great racer.
Review: I really enjoyed this video. It's got racing and interview footage throughout Joey's 30 year career. A fair bit is from the last few years, but it's the early stuff that's magic.Joey's funeral in Ballymoney is very touching, and I didn't realize just how hugely he was loved in his home Ireland. This is a good tribute to a real hero.

Summary: Not for motorcyclists only!
Review: In a golden age of motorcycling, it's a shame Hollywood continues to put out so much motorcycle garbage (Torque, Biker Boyz, etc) when the life of Joey Dunlop would make such a great movie, appealing to those who aren't motorcyclists or racing fans (Kudos to Ulster TV for producing this great documentary).
There is so much to enjoy on this DVD: the slow-motion ballet of a great road racer, beautiful scenery, soul-stirring music, the "scary fast" sound and speed of big bore sport bikes (and the smaller 2-strokes) on bumpy, twisty, hilly public roads that have been given over so that true roadracers can ply their craft. Don't be surprised if you find yourself cheering Joey on when the odds seem against him!
A truly reverent look at the life and accomplishments of an eminently likeable individual with a never say die attitude, who continued to confound opponents with his ability to win a young man's game at his age!
